What we can learn about LOVE from the Parable of the Sower - A NEW Biblical Interpretation you have never heard of

[jennifer_bloom]

SO FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE BIBLE PASSAGE IT'S HERE

(Luke 8:4-15)

The First Soil

- It shows love doesn't seek personal gain - since birds fly up in the sky - in the same way - those who are after personal gain betray their roots to seek new heights rather than being faithful to their birth right inheritance
- It shows that true love does not care about popularity or social status since the birds swarm in flocks and are more popular than the soil which represents the inherent beliefs and heart of the person
- it shows love is willing to invest in the future since the seed loyal to the soil has no value in the beginning but will mature into a plant later on
- it shows love has discernment since the birds appear like good creatures but are enemies and the true soil must acknowledge that and not be partakers in that
- it shows true love does not prefer power to love as the birds are more powerful than the living soil beneath it and are more active and mighty and alive than seed beneath it The Second Soil

The Second Soil

- This shows true love is not biased because rocks cause people to stumble and bias makes people err in judgment
- It shows true love is not self hating
- in the same way that rocks hurt people so those with self hatred or bad social relationships hurt themselves
- it shows that true love does not seek validation from others but only from service to God
- In the same way that a plant cannot survive trying to grow among rocks - so we will die spiritually if we try to hard to feed the egos and whims and attention of the world rather than trying to cultivate a quiet dignity and inner peace
- it shows that true love is nothing but love and does not combine love with hatred or aggression - in the same way that plants cannot grow unless they are filled with only soil
- so our hearts cannot grow unless we eliminate more powerful things like anger and hatred that will cause us to stop loving our selves our Gods and our society

The Third Soil

- It shows that love cannot grow if it is clouded by the thorns which are symbols of pride and it cannot feed or cater to the whims and drives of others
- It shows that love cannot grow if it doesn't plan for the future and seeks only short term gain
- It shows that love cannot grow among jealousy or competitiveness or the desire to eliminate power and prosperity in others
- It shows that love cannot be based purely on pity but but must also be based on glory
- It shows that love cannot grow without having a higher consciousness that fairs into heaven rather than a lower view that has its roots in atheism
- It shows love requires goals and ambitions and the freedom of will and choice and consciousness to manifest on its own

ALL THREE SOILS
- Show love is not a product of fear - all three parables address the idea of fear and how we cannot love if we are filled with the fear of self interest through the eyes of man

RATHER THAN SELFLESS SOCIETAL INTEREST THROUGH THE EYES OF GOD

Excellent take. Timely advice amid some inconvenient truths.

Nice! Great stuff!! I sure hope you do write a book!!!

[Jjpayne]

Thank you!

The parable of the sower isn't about love, it's about how to receive the word of God, Jesus even goes into full detail to explain exactly what this means. If you want a parable about love, try the parable of the Prodigal Son.

[PeacefulRainDrop]

But when we share the word of God we are sharing the greatest love they could ever know..

[Savage_Wisdom]

Which would be fine, if this were about multiple people. But it's not. It's about how you, as an individual, should receive the word of God. Notice that nowhere in Jesus explanation of this parable did he ever mention the person actually throwing the seed. That's because this isn't about a person-to-person interaction, it's about how a person should receive the word of God, how they should take care to make sure the word of God important in their life, and to make sure other Earthly concerns in your life don't surpasse God or the word of God. The moment God himself physically says this is what this Parable means, and then precedes to give a step-by-step in-depth explanation, a parable is no longer open for interpretation.

[PeacefulRainDrop]

I agree with you completely.. was going to say something along the lines you did.. it clearly states its about the seeds of sharing Christ! And sometimes the person accepts sometimes the person doesn't God gives us the freedom of choice and when we accept its the greatest love of all... she's putting a romatic spin on it not sure how I feel about it but if God can use it to reach lost souls I fully support it

[Savage_Wisdom]

I understand what you're saying, and I'd even agree with you, but...

"I'm astonished you are so quickly deserting him welcome to the grace of Christ, and are turning to a different gospel, not that there is a different gospel, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But if we or an Angel of Heaven were to preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again: if anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed." Galatians 1:6-9

These versus speak out against the dangers of distorting the gospel to support your own preferred narrative, as doing so means it's no longer the gospel, which means it will not save.

Has it occurred to you that one story in the bible can have thousands of lessons behind it - a primary intended lesson - and

[Savage_Wisdom]

Yes, and plenty do. However, when God himself literally comes down and explains, in extreme detail, exactly what this means, it is no longer open for interpretation.

[PeacefulRainDrop]

Very true can't water down the gospel.. its not a prosperity gospel.. Look at everyone in the Bible they faced fearfull but they trusted in the Lord and was blessed for it.. (Joseph (sold into slavery later becomes a king), Daniel (thrown into the lions den God closed the mouths) , 3 men thrown in the fire and the king saw a 4th one knowing it was God, The Israelites (in slavery then set free), Jonah (hearing God telling him to go somewhere but went the opposite direction until he realized his wrong and ended up in a fish and let out where God wanted him to be), Job (lost everything but was restored more than he had before), Joseph and Mary (the parents of Jesus was going to leave Mary cause she was with child), Paul (ship wreaked, beaten, imprisoned), Even Jesus asked to not die for us that there could be another way.. But understanding God has an ultimate purpose that it had to be done.. so I believe when we follow Christ correctly it will be challenging but rewarding when we get to Heaven.. Jesus didn't promise us it would be easy but he told us to take courage cause he has overcome the world! Yes I agree with you this could be the beginning of false profits

Maybe you could have just reprinted it so we could figure it out for ourselves.
