Bible Question (short): Retxar, additional thoughts please! |
Question (full): Retxar, I certainly see your point and for a time held the same view; however, Jesus is comparing the Kingdom of GOD to a mustard seed in your references, whereas, Jesus' rebuke of the deciples in Mat. 17:20 is because they're littleness of faith. And, as I interpret it, to hammer this point home He compares they're faith to the smallness of a mustard seed and says, your faith is infinitely smaller than a mustard seed! If you were to accept my interpretation, any additional thoughts? Please consider the second question as well! |
