Focus seems to be on what we do, verses the victory that God gives us over the sin of our lives when he forgives us and regenerates us when we are Born Again in him.

Same fatal flaw that many so-called ministers of Christ are caught in.

I have a sister in law who has lied and cheated her whole life to get free stuff or sympathy and SSD...she walked into the SSD hearing using a cane and the minute she got approved, she never used it again....

yet she calls herself a good Christian.."born again"....

I'm sorry but its just beyond the pale to think just saying something is going to get you to heaven....

God wants us to pray and trust in HIM, but we are also to act in a good Christian way...

Interesting take on the parable. But, that parable is not about the seed (God’s word) - it is about the soil (our hearts).

There are other, better scriptures that could be used to talk about what types of “seeds” we should be nurturing in ourselves.

“Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.” (Col 3:1-3)
