Of course, I'm quite familiar with that wonderful parable. As with the other passages we've discussed, it's capable of multiple interpretations--in this case, that those seeds who die were never adequately alive in the first place. As I suggested in the beginning of our back-and-forths, ultimately we need to agree to disagree.

That said, what do you think of my strong recommendation that you meditate extensively on Eph. 2:8-9?

Being and AG major, a farmer and rancher I will disagree with you on the the “never adequately alive in the first place”. So a (seed) egg and (seed) sperm come together and is planted (womb or soil) and divides (germinates) that isn’t the beginning of life? Wow it grows and whether it makes it to one day or to a hundred it had life. So your saying that abortion is ok because the life didn’t live adequately. Being born “AGAIN” doesn’t refer to age, but to the act thereof.

Eph 2:8-9
Yes Grace a free gift given whether you accept it or not. Every person that has heard the message of Jesus Christ has had the opportunity to accept that Grace or reject it free will.

“multiple interpretations”

Multiple interpretations, No, but multiple applications yes.
