Jesus was teaching about the Kingdom of God through parables.
A parable is a story from ordinary life meant to illustrate a spiritual or moral truth. (It usually had one main point and was not meant to be true on every level.)
Where parables meant to clarify or confuse? YES!
Jesus said that the secret of the Kingdom had been given to the disciples. Did Jesus want to keep the Kingdom a secret so that some would not be forgiven? No! He proclaimed the Kingdom to all and wanted all to be forgiven, but only those with faith would accept it!
