Matthew 13:3-9 (NASB)
3 And He spoke many things to them in parables, saying, "Behold, the sower went out to sow; 4 and as he sowed, some seeds fell beside the road, and the birds came and ate them up. 5 "Others fell on the rocky places, where they did not have much soil; and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of soil. 6 "But when the sun had risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. 7 "Others fell among the thorns, and the thorns came up and choked them out. 8 "And others fell on the good soil and *yielded a crop, some a hundredfold, some sixty, and some thirty. 9 "He who has ears, let him hear."

More prayer that the Holy Spirit will open their eyes and then they will need more teaching. They would then understand.

John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.(or that you have read of me) Psalms 40:7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,......
Romans 10:14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
1 Peter 2:2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
1 Corinthians 3:2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
Hebrews 5:12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
Hebrews 5:13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

So the answer is more teaching?
The answer is God's spirit and relationship with God, not just knowing things about God.

Sadly there will be people in hell, who had years in Sunday School and Church. Some who sat under great teachers and preachers. Some rejected the truth completely and others were waiting for the perfect day to get saved, that never came.

The below is from:

I used to think that if spiritually blind people could just get the
right teaching, they would suddenly start seeing.
So I taught my heart out, trying to get people to "see"
the truth.
But "more teaching" (ever learning) isn't the answer.
Because I can't convince the unconvinced.
Or persuade the unpersuaded.
Neither can you.
Why?
Because the spiritually blind don't need more teaching; they
need to have their eyes opened.
Once their eyes are opened, no convincing or persuading is needed.
Teaching then becomes a confirmation of what they have already seen.
This is what I learned by watching Jesus.
And it's the same process He uses to show you everything you
truly know.
(Everything else you think you know is useless information.)
Join us Thursday night to "see" what I mean:
