Bible Question: i would like to know about the word cocerning the 30,60,100 fold giving,iam a teacher of the word on prosperity .how do we reap these amounts,and is it money return or is it money and health and spiritual? |
Bible Answer: Hi, drumman... Welcome to the forum! The reference to thirty, sixty, and a hundred fold yields are in Matthew 13:8; 13:23; Mark 4:8 and 20. The seed is the word of God (Luke 8:11), Christ is the sower (Matthew 13:37-38), and the ground are the hearers (Matthew 13:19; Luke 8:12). You'll have to do some pretty strenuous eisegesis to get even the remotest form of prosperity teaching out of these passages. You might want to read through the thread #156916 to hone up on your hermeneutics. That would be a prerequisite to any kind of teaching (Hebrews 5:12; James 3:1).

Letting tradition dictate interpretation 9. Failure to appreciate what the church has taught on the passage COMMON (CULT) MISTAKES IN BIBLICAL INTERPRETATION 1.

Over-squeezing a text to get something out of it that isn't there 4. Over-speculation (especially in prophecy) 5. Changing the definition of words 6. Using a twisted translation 7.
