Some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty

[ScottA]

Once again, you add your own opinion to the scripture, rather than letting scripture speak for itself.

There is no indication that the hundredfold, sixtyfold, thirty fold are chronological. Time is not an element.

Different seeds and types of good soil are what bring forth different percentages of profit.

Matthew 13:8

But other seed fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.

The order is the order given. If you don't like it or think Jesus had no particular reason for the order, take it up with Him.

Not questioning the order, just your imposing a chronological interpretation of it.

Anchorite, do you know everything?

Do you not know or even acknowledge, that all truth was to come at the order of Jesus by the Holy Spirit speaking through those Jesus sends--do you not know this is what is written?

If you knew, you should expect it--but that does not describe you at all--how sad for you!

I do not accept you as any prophet.

You interpret verses in ways not supported by the text.

You proclaim so many false doctrines.

You are not thinking. You are acting like one of the Priests or Pharisees when Jesus started talking stuff like eating His flesh and drinking His blood. That's how this works, and He is the Author, and Commander, sending those He chooses--the unqualified but perfect for the job--do you not understand that? This is exactly how it is suppose to go--not how you envision--but like having a donkey talk, a shepherd, fishermen, a persecutor of Christians. Why should you fall into the trap of those who "expected" more, ultimately opposing Him?
