I'm not blaming people, I'm just showing the procss of a seed ... what sweat of the brow shows concerning the son that you are.
Any plant that produces fruit gets it's roots disturbed and dunged

We "take root" downward and produce fruits upward

And no plant produces only good fruit. I looked at my garden yesterday and saw some citrus fruits that looked like they are not going to make it that will be pruned shortly if they don't come around.

We're no different, really

My [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]zu pees on the lime tree roots. Perhaps this fall I'll make some peelime pie

When Jesus spoke to the Pahrisees his words were lif, but they were received (more often then not) as the words of an adversary ...
'goes against the grain' your seed her seed thing ... i love idioms always have even when i had no idea to their meaning ...they just struck me as mysteries or treasures as in something deep\buried and yet in your face (truth in plain sight ) much like what's hidden in the field one must sell all they have to purchase it ... a pearl of great price and yet what we give or lose for it is but dross ... as for dragons well i wonder who was the first to depict them as fire breathers seeing we are judged in a pond as in a lake of fire or a consuming fire or refining fire etc etc

this whole Satan theology religion thing is so demeaning ... i find dragon flies fascinating but keep my visor down when out riding :laughing:

Offended by Christ are ya? Luke 7:23

Jesus advised us clearly where the Word is sown, Satan enters the heart to steal it. Those who don't believe Jesus in this regards have essentially been stolen from, and don't believe that happens to them. And can't believe it. Because it's not even themselves who are doing the theft. They don't even know what hit them. Or in some cases, don't even care.

That's the general point, and not how you try to spin it above, as if you're immune to an agency that is not you and try to demean the position as something it's not.

There is nothing that stinks more than positions that claim they are better than the average person sinner, because they are not "like them."

Regarding sin and the devil, no one is immune and we all have the infection. That's all there is to the subject. It doesn't even take a religion to see it. Any given person can see the evil stew we're all in up to our ears without being a believer in anything. Evil is entirely open to see for all. What we never see is that it's in us all.

Show how you hate your own life, and you'll see a believing disciple in that claimant, Luke 14:26

Playing with God as if He's some insider mystic is just another cult working it's way through the system

The most simple sight is true. God loves all people. God hates all devils. Game over

Satan only steals what you don't understand ...
Pooh pooh spin it how you please. As long as it's not you actually having the evil of Satan in your own heart, right?

How deep is deNILE?

Mark 4:15
And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.

Mat 13:19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.

"But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it ..."

In the end it's how you receive the word that the outcomes spring out of ...

my favorite picture of the devil\Satan is a fly ... fly in the ointment, which is one and the same as a little leaven leavens the whole lump as it is a serpent IN ones path ...

And Jesus said to them, "Watch and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees."

anyway i shall not type further seeing last time you put your words in my mouth and then started a debate with yourself ...

Whether you respond or not, the observation in play is the reality of Mark 7:21-23 for everyone

Not that anyone can actually own up to it mind you

That's kind of the whole point, is that there are TWO receivers walking in the same shoes and they are not the same entities. One God hates. One God loves.

And He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’ ”

when a silver smith refines silver he sits and holds the molten silver within the furnace in a crucible and continually removes the dross\impurities from it ... he knows when the silver is pure when he can see his face in it ...

a hearing His voice turns us 180 '(straight angle) to see ..

Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
