You didn't ask me but, the ONLY thing that Quix or ST or any else of us have the ability to do is plant the seed. Only the Lord Himself can make it grow. Dontcha see?

No problem, anyone can comment here... :-)
In case anyone misunderstand, these things are not to do with how one is saved. It's not a salvation issue. I would want to make that real clear -- to anyone else who may not realize that.
We don't have to know a thing about it, and we can ignore it and still be saved. The Gospel of Salvation is fairly simple. It doesn't take very much to be saved. You wonder, at times, with how simple it is -- how come people have so much problem with it... :-)
There's only one seed that we are commanded to plant, as Christians -- to the non-believing world -- and that's the Gospel of Salvation. That's the only one that the Lord is really concerned about us "getting out" to everyone.
Outside of the Gospel of Salvation and whatever else will support that person's understanding of that particular message -- the rest of it (i.e., the rest of what is in the Bible) is for those who are already saved ...
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
- 2 Timothy 3:16,17
I would say that, in this stuff, there's no seed to plant in regards to the Gospel of Salvation, unless that person finds it to support what Salvation is all about, when reading it.
What this is good for, is understanding what we may be in for, in the future, as Jesus compared that time to what is coming, and also, as an explanation of what the evil angels may be currently doing today.
But, that is for those who are already saved...
INDEED. Though I’m not sure who you were addressing that to.
