Some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty

[ScottA]

And what exactly have I done?

Must I repeat what I have already said?

You pit what is natural against that which is spiritual, as if your rebuttal was righteous, when both God and his word are spirit.

And it's apparent you don't have a firm grip on simple math, and don't know how this works.

Is that all you think the passage says? Apparently so. But that was just the beginning of the equation--the seeding and prospective harvest part. What of the end and the actual harvest? What is the measure of God dealing with the outcome? Did you even think to consider it? He who planted also harvests--and your believing only in the elementary principles of Christ is part--the strong delusion part. But you did not perceive the matter any further than you were able...and so you mock. Do you not know and understand that you risk even what you have being taken from you?

What shall be written of you?

Looks like some one is having a hard time of it. Sorry you are so bitter my Friend, we are actually expounding on what the text actually said....and you have acknowleded that.

Now you are speaking about something that is foreign to the actual context of the passage.

Here is the immediate context:

13"That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the sea. 2 And great crowds gathered about him, so that he got into a boat and sat down. And the whole crowd stood on the beach. 3 And he told them many things in parables, saying:


The Parable of the Sower Explained
18 “Hear then the parable of the sower: 19 When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown along the path. 20 As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is the one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy, 21 yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while, and when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately he falls away. 22 As for what was sown among thorns, this is the one who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it proves unfruitful. 23 As for what was sown on good soil, this is the one who hears the word and understands it. He indeed bears fruit and yields, in one case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another thirty.

What of the end and the actual harvest? What is the measure of God dealing with the outcome? Did you even think to consider it? He who planted also harvests--and your believing only in the elementary principles of Christ is part--the strong delusion part. But you did not perceive the matter any further than you were able...and so you mock. Do you not know and understand that you risk even what you have being taken from you?

Friend....lets continue this conversation so I can better understand you......Can you show me from the passage of the sower the parts I am missing? I would appreciate it greatly

This is where Im having a hard time. Please explain your definition when you say what is spiritual. I explained what I meant by natural reading...please explain your terms. The word is deeply broad and can mean many things. I dont know what you are talking about are your meaning in the way you use it Kindly break it down please?

And taking a second look at this posting by you....I only gave you what the bible said in Matthew 13 from the context. It was the plain natural reading of the word. But you say at first I pit that agiant the spiritual. How can that be when I gave you bible? Friend you seem to have what is known as a strawman. I think I am being set up for a bunch of twist and turns.... for clarification...You said "Iwhen both God and his word are spirit"

I gave you written word of God, is that not good enough for you...you say I pit that [word of God} against the Spirit. I hope this isnt full of twist and turns....but lets kindly finish this converstation....its refreshing!
