1 | Is is right to call money a seed? | NT general Archive 1 | retxar | 23977 | ||
The parable Jesus told of the farmer sowing seeds is not about money, the way I see it. However, 2Co 9:6 is speaking of giving and says "He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully." If we read the next verse we see that any rewards we may receive from giving would be from giving out of love, not obligation and pressure. Certainly not from giving with the intent to receive a reward. The so called biblical formula of giving so much to receive so much, does not seem line up with what Paul said in 2Co 8:12. He said to give out of what we have, not what we don't have. For God so loved us, He gave. For we so love God, we give. hope this helps, retxar |

Support.........Good answer! While I was reading your response I couldn't help think about when Jesus is separating the goats from the sheep in Matt 25:32-46 that the righteous were unaware of their good deeds. Matt 25:34 - Then shall the King say unto them on His right hand, "Come ye blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: Matt 25:35 - For I was an hungered, and ye gave Me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took Me in: Matt 25:36 - Naked, and ye clothed Me: I was sick, and ye visited Me: I was in prison, and ye came unto Me." Matt 25:37 - Then shall the righteous answer Him, saying, "Lord, when saw we Thee an hungred, and fed Thee? or thirsty, and gave Thee drink? Matt 25:38 - When saw we Thee a stranger, and took Thee in? or naked, and clothed Thee? Matt 25:39 - Or when saw we Thee sick, or in prison, and came unto Thee? Matt 25:40 - And the King shall answer and say unto them,"Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these My brethren, ye have done it unto Me." They give in Love without need or want of reward! Thanks for taking me there with your answer! Peace, Casiv |
