Preacher : The oil in the parable of the ten virgins typifies the holy ghost in the life of a believer. And a lack of sanctification and holiness can make him run out
Me : You sound very sure about this typology sir. Don't you think that's rather hasty?
Preacher : not at all. , very sure. It couldn't have meant anything else but the holy ghost
Me : can we test this your revelation sir?
Preacher : why not? Go ahead
Me : okay sir. Let's replace the Word "oil" in that parable with the holy ghost and see if we can hold on to your interpretation.
Preacher : right away!
Matthew 25
1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no HOLY GHOST with them:
4 But the wise took THE HOLY GHOST in their vessels with their lamps.
5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your HOLY GHOST ; for our lamps are gone out.
9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough HOLY GHOST for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell THE HOLY GHOST , and buy THE HOLY GHOST for yourselves.
10 And while they went to buy THE HOLY GHOST , the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
Me : so what do you think sir?
Preacher : I never really thought about it like this before now Pastor. You're right sir, oil couldn't have been a type of the holy ghost
Me : I'm glad you finally saw it sir.
That's why it's called a parable. You can't take it literally.
Selah!

Good one!

ROFLMAO!
