Monsignor Pope Ping!
Very good teaching.
Because God does not have an American mindset that deems only something that provides a return on investment as being worthwhile or not a waste of time and resources.
Because He gave us free will?
One of the strangest sentences in the Bible is found at the beginning, in Genesis 1:16: "He made the stars also." The picture, standing from God's perspective outside of space and time, is of a God who makes a sun and moon so that there will always been light shining on the earth, and then in a moment of serendipitous extravagance thinks to Himself, "Aw, what the heck," flicks His hand, and produces billions of galaxies, each with billions of stars, since when you're God, why have just one star when you can have a google of them at no extra charge.
Yes, that is a somewhat anthropomorphic representation, but one look at all existence yields the same conclusion: God is never stingy, but prodigal (Gk. asotia) in His extravagance.
Or maybe God just wanted to make an illustration. An example of what to do, and an example of what not to do.
All the soils are still soil.
Because He is generous and patient and gives everyone a lot of chances. No one will be able to say they didnt have opportunities.
“For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry (2 Tim 4:3-5)”
And here we are...
