Well, at least you're managing to drag the perp into the picture.
Oh no. The perp messes with everyone but I just tell him to go to hell.
That parable is about hearing the word on good ground and therefore producing fruit because of it. It has noting to do with sin, you have added that yourself. We are all sinners but that does not mean we can't produce good fruit when walking in the spirit. Are you saying you don't? Some receive the gospel and some don't. They might later on, etc but that's what that means -hearing the word of God, which we know from other parts of the bible that produces faith and then we can produce fruit. Why are you inserting sin here?
We should hear and accept every word as truth. And live by that truth. But once again, not every verse specifically applies to every individual. We have to know the context, who the audience is, what is being discussed etc. You can't seem to understand that.
No, he specifically separated them into 4 different groups and what type of ground they receive the word upon. Wayside, stony, thorns and good ground. But keep making it up as you go along.
Yeah, I figured as much. Putting man's word over God's. We were told stuff like this would happen and people would leave sound doctrine. I had to drop some false doctrines that were indoctrinated into me at an early age. It was only later on when I got into the Word that I saw they were unbiblical.
Have you read there are conditions?
Why? That's probably your thing but but I have the Word right in front of me. And I've read the conditions. You are totally ignoring Christ's own teachings about repentance, etc. It's very serious and I'll choose his words over yours.
Loving our neighbors does not mean we get to throw out God's Word which will not change. God is so long suffering because he himself of course does not want any to perish but to come to repentance. But yeah, let's just throw out that fact as well. According to you he doesn't have to be long suffering.
What do you reckon they were studying, the Tao Te Ching?
I'm still trying tofigure out where "everybody lives forever" comes ftom in the Bible with the possible exception of Old Nick's "thou shalt not surely die".
