We all have weeds in our lives so will never be perfected soil. The Sower is Jesus. Jesus owns the field. He would have been jailed sooner had He not hid the meaning from his audience.<br />-Of course said revisionist fails to mention that those not hearing were those who decidedly rejected Jesus as Messiah. We don't ever want to speak ill of someone....<br />Oh by the way, heaven is now here on earth, the Kingdom is here now. That translates to promoting Social causes minus the Gospel message which asks for a decision for one to choose this day whom they will serve. Again, we don't want any discomfort to occur. God is tender, God is kind, God never gets ticked off, God is love, God is just but according to our distorted definition of just. Woohoo, go for it revisionist and enjoy the heat to come!<br />David Russell<br />Blog: Grafted In And On The Journey<br />BlogSpot.comDavid C.

The predestination route may be a way that one might try to steer an argument away from the issue of receptivity.Undergroundpewsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10182191422663119484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107887.post-39777334676981328362014-07-14T07:55:21.547-04:002014-07-14T07:55:21.547-04:00"The very idea that there might be anyone who..."The very idea that there might be anyone who will not be saved is anathema to revisionists." One could argue that this is about predestination but in context, it is more about receptivity. The seed only grows on good soil.
