Talk:Parable of the Growing Seed

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This miracle is a parable about reciprocity. The number seven is a reference to Ecclesiastes.

Ecclesiastes 11:1 Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days.

Ecclesiastes 11:2 Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.

When jesus gives to the masses what little he has, it inspires a wave of giving, in which everyone in the crowd gives to one another. In the end, Jesus and his disciples end up with more then they had to begin with. There are many hidden meanings like this hidden in the miracles of Jesus. Here is another example,...

Mark 2:6

But there was certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,

Mark 2:7 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God only?

Mark 2:8 And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, why reason ye these things in your hearts?

Mark 2:9 Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up the bed, and walk?

Mark 2:12 And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.

Many people interpret this as Jesus healing the sick person with magic, however, the text does not say that the man arose, it says that Jesus picked him up and carried him. read it again,.. the HE is Jesus,.. not the sick man,... this is why those watching had never seen teachings in this fashion. Jesus was not performing supernatural acts as the Pharisees preach, he just picked the guy up and helped him move. It is clear that this is the true meaning and intention of the text as you read on to mark 6:54 and 6:55,...

Mark 6:54 And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew him,

Mark 6:55 And ran through that whole region round about, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.

All of the miracles of Jesus in the gospel of MARK have double meanings,.. the simple minded will understand them as miracles, but the prudent will note the true meaning.

as it is written and intended,...

Proverbs 14:15

   The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going.

Revelations 1:16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.

The two edged sword represents this style of teaching in which there is a double meaning to the parables of Jesus,... see here how Jesus describes his method of instruction:

Mark 4:11 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:

Mark 4:12 That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.

4:13 And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?

4:26 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;

4:27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.

It is clear from this that the allegory of mark is written in such a way that even the simple minded who believe in magic and fairy dust will gain from it,... although they will not know how, because the true message is hidden inside of the fairy tale,... there is a double meaning, and the author of revelations saw it, which is why he describes Jesus as fighting evil with a two edge sword of his mouth.

It is clear from this that mark and his story about Jesus is big on hidding meaning in ambiguous allegory

here is another example,...

when Jesus heals the blind man,...

Mark 8:23 And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought.

Mark 8:24 And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.

Mark 8:25 After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.

Obviously this is not talking about healing a mans occipital lobe, or restoring his perception of electromagnetic radiation,.. it is talking about how the man sees people,.. first he sees them as trees,... then he sees them clearly,.. the whole message of Jesus is about loving they neighbor. Jesus is a spiritual healer,.. he has thought the man the value of other people,.. they are not lumber,.. but life. they are not resources to be used but brothers to be loved.

Now think about this,.. mark is the original gospel and the last paragraphs of it regarding the resurrection was added later, by the church,... investigate the matter yourself if you don't yet already know,... everything that came after mark is inspired by mark, and mark is truly the first book of the new testament,.. This is the base for the entire Christian religion,...

All through mark, Jesus calls himself the son of man,.. he also says that he is one with the father in the context that some can be one with their surroundings,... he says to love others as you would love thyself,.. and loving god is the first commandment,.. so of course he would say that he is one with God,.. he is one with everyone,.. he instructs everyone to love thy neighbor as thyself,...

God is the ultimate neighbor in the eyes of Jesus,.. and he loves god with all his heart, as he loves himself and others, and so he is one with the father,...

this is what mark wrote about him anyway,...

go read it,.. you will see the hidden meanings and the true un-supernatural nature of the son of a man, Jesus,...
