Thanks - a challenging text very well explained and laid out very well.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for checking out my content.
Excellent thank you
So how do we know if we are disciples or in the crowd? If it's not about predestination, then we must have the capcity to regognise our lack of receptivity and move up into 'disciple' space? Can a seed that fails be re-cast?
Thank you
If desire is not enough to have our ears opened along with our eyes and heart, then what is the requirement for it. I ask because it ends with the statement than many men of God desire yet aren’t apparently in the condition to receive understanding from God.
Wonderful explanation ❤
Thank you. Blessings of your life and ministry
Thank yoy
Does Matt 13:47-50 only speak to those already in the kingdom?
It's an exhortation to insiders to proclaim the good news widely and to not prematurely exclude anyone. It's also a warning about final sorting at the end of the age. Not sure if I'm answering your question so please restate if I'm not being specific enough. Thanks for listening.
@@deepdivespirituality The fish that were separated in Matt 13:48. Were all of those fish already inside the kingdom according to Matt 13:47? Is Jesus referring only to those that are already in the kingdom and that the people of the kingdom will be separated? If the net is the kingdom and the fish inside it will be separated.
.
Still unclear about verse 15. It would seem that Jesus' teaches is parables because He does not want people to repent. Of course, Jesus wants everyone to repent and come to salvation. Did I miss something? Thank you for any further clarification.
The purpose of the Parable of the Sower is to encourage God's people to keep sowing. The issue isn't that Jesus wants to keep people from believing. The issue is receptivity. Some soils will simply not produce fruit...i.e., some people are unable to receive the word. But sowers cannot tell the good soil from the bad soil until after it either grows or doesn't grow.
@@deepdivespirituality thank you
@@masantillanes You are welcome
The problem with your interpretation of that passage is that you are strongly implying that these are simply unbelievers; that these people simply haven't opened their hearts to God's Truth yet and that they haven't yet been 'called'. That is not at all what Jesus says there. If it was simply about a change of mind or heart, Jesus would speak the Truth to them and they would see, hear and understand and be converted.
Not only does He specifically indicate that He has zero desire for these specific people to be saved (13:15), but immediately after this teaching, He teaches the Wheat and Tares doctrine and He declares, literally, that the Tares are the children of the devil. Matt. 13:38-39 Tares are not just people who haven't yet been converted, they are fundamentally different people whom God has NO desire to save.
Why did God HATE Esau from the womb? Because Esau was a Tare. Jacob was Wheat. God hates Tares. In Matt. 13, Jesus is preaching TO the Wheat ABOUT the Tares.
Thanks for sharing your reading. Why are you using the Wheat/Tares as the primary hermeneutic instead of the Soils (13:1-9 and 18-23)? Jesus is teaching about the "hiddenness" of the kingdom and teaching persistence and perseverance to the disciples. I disagree with your reading of how Matthew uses Isaiah 6.
@@deepdivespirituality In the verses you specified, Jesus only mentions the "good ground" once each. Both times He says that is the ground that will prosper, that will bear fruit. That follows my interpretation of the rest of the chapter.
Do you disagree with the rest of Matt. 13, beyond verse 17? Verse 19 explains verse 12. If all people who have the smallest amount of faith or truth, or whatever verse 12 is referring to, taken away by the devil, then nobody would ever see, hear or believe and then repent and be saved.
Matt. 13 is speaking about a specific kind of people who are incapable of having that, and even if they get a small amount of it, it is taken away by their father, the devil.
Jesus says go only to the lost sheep of Israel. He doesn't say gather anyone and everyone and I/we will change/convert them. Matt. 10:6
Jn. 6:70 Jesus says He chose twelve people and ONE was a devil. It wouldn't make any sense that Jesus would choose 12 devils to broadcast His sacred Gospel to the world and there's nothing there to indicate that He 'changed' 11 of them, but didn't change Judas. He says that Judas was a 'devil.'.
What about the parable of the good and bad trees? Jesus says that the bad trees "can't" produce good fruit and that trees that do not produce good fruit are destroyed. Matt. 7:18-19. Then He describes the future scenario of the 'Many' who will say "Lord, Lord" and be rejected because "He never knew them." Matt. 7:23
That all fits into the idea of children of God vs children of the devil. God doesn't know children of the devil because they're not His children, they're not His sheep, they're literally incapable of hearing His voice and His Truth. Jn. 8:43-47. Where have I misunderstood what the Bible is teaching on this concept?
Another concept that this explains is Rom. 9:22. The children of the devil were "created for destruction" in more ways than one. They were not only allowed, by God, to be created so that He could demonstrate His power and justice in their destruction, but they were also created by their father the devil "to destroy".
He steals, kills and destroys and He sent his children to destroy all good things of the children of God and of the kingdom of God. They are also specifically sent to distract, detour, discredit and destroy them by any means possible.
