Bible Question:
Do preachers have a Biblical right to refer to money as "seeds", and if so where is it in Gods Word? |
Bible Answer: 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 |
