Seed of Freedom自由种子

Jesus said, “If the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.” (John 8:36)耶稣说:"如果你儿子让自由,你将可自由确实"(约翰8时36分)

Mustard Seeds Every forth of July people in America celebrate a moment in time when the seed of freedom was planted in the fertile ground of what is now known as the United States of America.  The seed that was planted on that fateful day in July of 1776 is captured in the visionary document known as the Declaration of Independence which boldly proclaims, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” This single sentence holds the power of freedom – the power ordained by God for every human being – equality, life, liberty, and the pursuite of happiness.每7人出来庆祝的时刻,当美国的种子种在肥沃的自由所现称为美利坚合众国.种子是种植在那个灾难性的一天是1776年7月在被俘有远见文件称为独立宣言中大胆宣称"我们认为这些真理是不言而喻的,人人生而平等,他们说,他们是造物主赋予某些不可分割的权利,其中包括生命自由和追求幸福."这一句持有权自由权拿上帝每个人平等,生命、自由、幸福的pursuite.

This seed of freedom grew into one of the most powerful nations on Earth, but it pales in comparison to the seed of eternal freedom that Jesus continues to sow in every heart that opens to his infinite Grace.  Seeds are a potent metaphor that Jesus uses to reveal the most profound spiritual Truth.  He uses the smallest seed to describe the infinite nature of God and fields to describe the eternal nature of your own heart.  Jesus illuminates, “The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his field; it is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is the greatest of shrubs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.” (Matthew 13:31-32)  Why do you suppose Jesus used seeds to describe the sublime nature of God?这种自由成长成为地球上最强大的国家,但比起<永恒的种子播种在继续自由是耶稣的心,每对他的无限恩典开幕.种子是一种强力的比喻是耶稣用来揭示最深刻的真理的精神.他用最小的种子来形容无限性、神的永恒性领域来形容自己的心.耶稣说明,"天国好像一粒芥菜种、播种了一名男子在他的场;它是最小的种子但是当它是成长最快的灌木和成树让鸟儿来的空巢它使分行."(马太13:31-32)为什么你相信耶稣用来形容种子壮美大自然上帝? What message does a seed hold for you in this moment? 什么样的讯息给你一颗种子在此刻举行?

Jesus said, “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it.” (Luke 8:21) In the context of what we have been discussing in the past several articles it is not good enough to understand what Jesus is teaching, you must apply it in your everyday life if his words are going to bear any fruit in your life.  What I find interesting in reading the many comments posted here is that many of you have lost sight of the simplicity of his message and fall far short of applying the love and compassion that are the heart of what he teaches.耶稣说:"母亲和兄弟是那些听到上帝的话去做,"(卢克8时21分)在上文我们讨论在过去是不够好几篇明白耶稣是教学、你必须运用它在你的生活,如果他的话是要在你的生活才会有成果.我觉得有趣的阅读贴在这里的许多意见,许多你忽略了它纯朴而大打折扣贺词运用爱心和慈悲心,他所任教.

Seeds.  Yes, it is through seeds that Jesus explains to your infinite nature – the eternal light of God.种子.是啊,是透过耶稣解释说,种子你无限大自然的永恒光神. What can you learn from a seed?  Seeds contain the light of life.  They can remain dormant for thousands of years, but one touch from the waters of life and they will grow into a flower, a plant, or a tree.  A seed grows slowly in the light of the sun.你可以从种子?鉴于种子含有生命.他们可以在冬眠千百年来,但一触及向水域生活,他们成长为花卉、植物、或树上.在种子上缓慢的阳光下. One drink of water and the light of God springs forth transforming a small seed into the branches of a tree that house the birds of the air.  Every moment of every day the seed opens in the warm rays of the sun, while a seed that remains in the dark remains cold as a stone.一、喝的水神泉水出改造结合成一个小型的种子杈,鸟的房子空.每一天每一刻种子开幕热情阳光、而剩下的种子在黑暗中依然寒冷的石头. Seeds.种子. Yes seeds.  They contain the eternal essence of life.好的种子.含有生命的永恒本质.

Jesus said, “A sower went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell along the path, and was trodden under foot, and the birds of the air devoured it.耶稣说:"他的种子散播出去传播者;由于他和播种,有的下跌沿登山步道被践踏在脚下,鸟儿的空气吞没. And some fell on the rock; and as it grew up, it withered away, because it had no moisture.有的落在石头;由于长大,它凋谢了,因为它没有水分. And some fell among thorns; and the thorns grew with it and choked it.其中有些属于荆棘;它与成长的荆棘呛. And some fell into good soil and grew, and yielded a hundredfold.” As he said this, he called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.” (Luke 8:5-8).有的落入土壤和良好的成长,并取得百倍."他说,他叫出来,"他曾经听到耳朵,让他听"(卢克8:5-8).   To understand this parable you must understand one very important thing – you are much more than you realize – more than a body, mind, or heart.  Beyond anything that this world is aware of – at the core of your being lives the infinite eternal light of God.了解这上面你必须了解一个很重要的,你们比你们明白--十体心目中或心脏.以后凡是知道这个世界--你的核心是永恒的生命因上帝的无限.

In this parable you are both the seed as well as the infinite field of your own heart.在这上面都是你的种子,以及自己的心无限领域. The seed is also the word of God.  Jesus is the sower of the seed.  You are the seed and your heart is the field in which Jesus plants his eternal light.种子是上帝的话,还.耶稣是传播者种子.你和你的心是种子田耶稣植物他永恒的光芒. At the core of the seed is the light of life – the eternal Light of God.  It is a holy trinity.  He sows the seed in your heart, but at the core of your being you are also the seed itself.  One drink of the water of life – Jesus – and the spring of light flows outward from you own heart.为核心的种子是因生命永恒光神.这是上智.他种母猪在心,但是你的核心你也正在种子本身.一喝了水的生命耶稣、轻流通的春天从外向你放在心上. As Jesus stood up and proclaimed, “If any one thirst, let him come to me and drink.正如耶稣站起宣称,"如果有人干渴,就让他来给我喝. He who believes in me, as the scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart shall flow rivers of living water.”(John 7:37-38)他相信我,因为圣经所言,'出内心的河流流量将生活用水."(约翰7:37-38)

Jesus explains, “The seed is the word of God.耶稣说:"种子是上帝的话. The ones along the path are those who have heard; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, that they may not believe and be saved.正是沿着那些听到;随后魔鬼来,从他们内心取走两字,他们可能不会相信,得救. And the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear the word, receive it with joy; but these have no root, they believe for a while and in time of temptation fall away.而那些在岩石上的,当他们听到一句话,它得到喜悦;但这些都没有得到根治,他们相信,在一段时间的诱惑站不住脚. And as for what fell among the thorns, they are those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and their fruit does not mature.至于哪些属于其中荆棘,也就是那些听但由于他们在途中他们的关怀和呛财宝人生乐趣,果不其与成熟. And as for that in the good soil, they are those who, hearing the word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and bring forth fruit with patience.”(Luke 8:5-9)至于,在良好的土壤,也就是那些,听到一句话,它持有一个诚实、善良快,带出水果与耐心."(卢克8:5-9)

Jesus came to Earth to sow the seed of eternal freedom – the word of God.  It is through his grace that these seeds planted so long ago have flourished in the hearts of those who have had the courage to stopped everything for a moment and opened their heart tho his eternal light.  As Jesus illuminates, “And as for the seeds planted in the good soil, they are those who, hearing the word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and bring forth fruit with patience.” (Luke 8:15)   This is the purpose of this blog;  To remind you of what Jesus asks of you – to hold the eternal Light of Jesus Christ fast in your honest and good heart, apply his teaching, and be patient so that the seeds of his light can bear fruit in your life.耶稣来到地球播下永恒的自由--上帝的话.正是通过他的恩典,让这些种子种植在心中早已蓬勃那些有勇气一刻停止一切与他敞开心胸部永恒的光芒.正如耶稣说明,"至于种子种在好的土壤,也就是那些,听到一句话,它持有一个诚实、善良快,带出水果与耐心."(卢克8点15)这是本博客;提醒你什么叫你耶稣-永恒轻型举行耶稣基督快您诚实善良,适用其教学、而忍使种子能够开花结果,他一生轻. It is by applying his teachings that rivers of living water will flow out of your heart.用他的教诲,这是生活河流水流量大出你的心.

A seed trusts in the eternal waters that give it life.  There is no rush.  A seed slowly transforms as the rays of light shine upon it.  Like a seed you will slowly open the more you simply receive the infinite grace and love of Jesus Christ.  Without any effort he will open your heart to the living Truth that is alive within you.  He is the light of God – the giver of eternal life.  Like a seed that springs to life in the eternal rays of the sun, so it is with Jesus.  If you have the courage to open to his Grace your heart will transform into a river of eternal life.种子信托永恒水域,给予生命.毫无匆忙.种子慢慢转变为剧组日晒.就像一颗种子你会慢慢开放,越单纯接受耶稣基督无限的爱和恩典.他将没有任何公开你的心努力的生活真相就是在你活着.他是根据上帝的赠与的永生.像一颗种子,在生命的永恒泉水阳光、因此,与耶稣.如果你有勇气打开你的心将其改造成恩典河万寿无疆.

You are a seed of light and Jesus is the water of eternal life.  Are you going to let the cares and pleasures of life choke the seed of light that Jesus has already planted in your heart?  Are you going to allow the things of this world damn the rivers of light that are ready to flow from your own heart?  Remember who Jesus is and what he wants of you.  You must apply what Jesus teaches in order for your life to bear any fruit.你是一颗种子,耶稣是光水万寿无疆.你怎么让关心和人生乐趣鲠轻是耶稣的种子已经种植了你的心?你干什么事情,让这个世界哎呀河流流量光芒愿意从自己的心?耶稣是什么人记得他想你们.你一定要学以致用耶稣教您人生才会有成果.

This is independence day – remember to apply what Jesus taught.  It is far more important than anything in this world.这是独立纪念日--记适用何种耶稣的教导.它远比什么这个世界.

What are you doing to demonstrate the Love of Jesus Christ today?你们在干什么,以展示耶稣基督的爱吗?

    I LIKE THE WHOLE SEGMENT AND SPECIALLY THE LAST SENTENCE: WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO DEMOSTRATE THE LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST TODAY?我特别喜欢最后一句,整段:你们在干什么耶稣基督是体现爱心呢?

    I think that TODAY THERE IS AN INESCAPABLE DUTY TO MAKE OURSELVES THE NEIGHBOR OF EVERY INDIVIDUAL, WHITHOUT EXCEPTION, AND TO TAKE POSITIVE STEPS TO HELP A NEIGHBOR WHOM WE ENCOUTER, WHETHER THAT NEIGHBOR BE AN ELDERLY PERSON, ABANDONED BY EVERYONE, A FOREING WORKER WHO SUFFERS THE INJUSTICE OF BEING DESPISED, A REFUGEE, AN ILLEGITIMATE CHILD WRONGLY SUFFERING FOR A SIN OF WHICH THE CHILD IS INNOCENT, OR A STARVING HUMAN BEING WHO AWAKENS OUR CONSCIENCE BY CALLING TO MIND THE WORDS OF CHRIST.我认为今天是自己义不容辞的责任,使每个人的邻邦,亮度例外并采取积极措施,帮助我们的邻居遭遇,不论是老人的邻居,大家抛弃了国外工作者蒙受不公被鄙视、难民、非婚生子女错误苦难罪过其中儿童是无辜的,一个饥饿的人,或人类良知的苏醒想起基督字.

    I believe if we do all of these above we really are applying what Jesus teaches in order for our life to bear any fruit.`我相信,如果我们所有这些都是运用上述耶稣告诉我们真正要使我们的生活才会有成果.`

    Dear Jill,亲爱建筑业、
    Let us not confuse love and compassion with permissiveness.让我们不要混淆爱与慈悲与放任. I love each of my children and grandkids and it is precisely because I do love them that I have set rules and have not allowed them to do as they pleased lest they hurt themselves and others in the process.我爱每一个孩子,并grandkids正是因为我爱他们,我订的规则,也没有让他们做他们乐意以免伤害自己及他人的过程. As you rightly put it “it is not good enough to understand what Jesus is teaching, you must apply it in your everyday life if his words are going to bear any fruit in your life.” “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it” (Luke 8:21).He was just severing his “apron strings “with mom and brothers who came to fetch him from Capernaum back to Nazareth where the rest of the descendants of David clan lived (his extended earthly family) as they heard he could not even eat because of the great crows surrounding him.如你所说:"这还不够明白耶稣是教学、你必须运用它在你的生活,如果他的话是要在你的生活才会有成果.""母亲和兄弟是那些听到上帝的话去做"(卢克8时21分).他刚被切断其"停机坪弦"妈妈,他的兄弟们前来掏capernaum从那里回拿撒勒其余的大卫家族的后裔居住(其家人致以寅)听见他不能吃,因为连他周围的伟大乌鸦. Now let’s look at the Messiah’s words again: “those who hear the word of God AND DO IT”.再来看看弥赛亚的话说:"那些听上帝的话去做". The last three words are the key ones.三个字所重点大学. What are God’s words?什么是上帝的话吗? For the most part the present Christian church has missed it as it has suffered from a heavy- duty Roman white wash.目前的大部分基督教教堂错过了它,因为它已经遭受重型罗马白洗. This “I love you thus wink my eye and let you do whatever comes natural” is a lot a baloney and absolutely against God’s word.这"我爱你,我眼睛眨,从而让你无论是自然",绝对是一个很大的打击baloney上帝的一句话. According to God there are rules in his household, you either choose to do them or don’t.根据上帝在他家有规则,你要么选择做或不. Grace he has shown to humanity from the garden of Eden, the first testament is full of God’s grace for man but it also tells us what His laws are.他对人类的恩典呈现从伊甸园,第一遗书充满上帝的恩典为人也告诉我们他的法律. The Almighty’s laws include HIS Sabbath which he made for man (no he wasn’t tired the 7th day of creation, he just made Adam and Eve the previous day and was showing them what to do on His Sabbath; rest with Him).万能的法律包括他自己安息日为男子(没有他不累第七天创作他只是在前一天亚当与夏娃,被他拿不安息日;他休息). He finds His Sabbath important enough that he wrote it on stone but oh no, man finds a way to circumvent it with all kinds of ideas and winds up not keeping it after all (some keep the Roman Sabbath but not God’s).他觉得自己不够重要安息日,但他写的关于石头哦不,男子找的方式来规避它与各种思想竟又不能保持它毕竟(罗马安息日而不让一些上帝). Yet man says” I am doing God’s will”,” I hear God’s word and do It”, “I love God with all my heart”.但男子说:"我做神的旨意":"我听到上帝的词和做""我爱我的心与所有上帝". Yeah, sure, man can’t even keep God’s Sabbath and that is not even hard to do but man claims to love God, ha!唉,肯定男子连上帝的安息日,就是连求售,但男子自称爱上帝呵! The seed is the word of God which means we must give it water and let it grow so that it will produce fruit; that is, actions.种子是上帝的话,这意味着我们必须给它水,让它发展,使之产生果实;即行动. This goes back to Luke 8:21: Those who hear the word of God AND DO IT.这8时21分回到卢克:那些听上帝的话去做. Just DO IT.DO as Yeshua did and keep the father’s words from the first testament that Yeshua quoted from.刚刚做it.doyeshua却三缄其口,因为父亲的话说,从第一遗书yeshua引用.
    The 2ndr great commandment is “Love your neighbor as yourself.” If I love myself enough not to kill, steal, or do other things that I know DISPLEASE our heavenly father then I should love my neighbor the same way and expect no less from my neighbor.2ndr伟大的诫命是"爱你的邻居作为你自己"如果我不爱自己够杀人、盗窃、或做其他事情,我知道我们的不快,那么我的天父爱着我的邻居一样,从我的邻居的不尊重. Pray for him, be kind to him, yes of course, but that does not mean I have to approve actions that God has ALREADY declared wrong regardless of who does them, myself included.为他祈祷,善待他,当然不错,但是,这并不等于说,我已批准的行动已宣告上帝不管谁错,包括我自己.

    Dear Shoshana,亲爱的Shoshana,

    According to you or the better still according to the Holy book you are reading, which day is the God’s Sabbat.根据你还是按照罗马还是你看的书,这一天是上帝的sabbat.
    What ever gave you the idea that Roman Catholic Church allows each one to do what he or she feels.你有什么想法不断给天主教让每一个做他或她的想法. My firend you are wrong here, mention each tradition that the RC church follows and I will show you that it appears in the bible (God’s word)firend你是我的错,何况每个传统的钢筋混凝土如下教会你,我似乎将会呈现在圣经(上帝的道理)
    You mentioned “If I love myself enough not to kill, steal, or do other things that I know DISPLEASE our heavenly father then I should love my neighbor the same way and expect no less from my neighbor.” God gave HIS life on that Cross to bring salvation to you, me and all in this world HE did not or does no expect the same from us.你提到"如果我不爱自己够杀人、盗窃、或做其他事情,我知道我们的不快,那么我的天父爱着我的邻居一样,从我的邻居的不尊重."上帝给他的人生带来救恩,两岸你我和所有在这个世界上还是没有他不指望从我们一样. HE still loves for all our weakness.他仍然热爱所有弱点.

    Like you have set rules for your children and grandkids lest they hurt themsleves or others, in the same way the RC church has set rules by which every Roman catholic abides by, the RCs are not white washed by doing this, they do not interpretate the word of GOD according to their wims and vancies.你有你喜欢的游戏规则,以免伤害儿童和grandkids口罩或他人在同样的钢筋混凝土教会所订的规则,每遵守天主教、铁道不是白色水洗此举他们不interpretate上帝的话,并根据自己vancies堆. They do not choose just few passages and memories them.他们不只是选几段和怀念他们.

    So you see my dear sister, please do not point a finger at the RC Church or its people, for the rest 3 fingers are pointing at you and your thumb reminding you that there is somebody above watching.所以你看我亲爱的妹妹,请不要一个手指点在教堂或钢筋混凝土人民对于其余3根手指指着你和你的拇指有别人提醒您收看以上.
    By doing this you are not only distrubing your self thinking of what reply to give next (Pin Point) but also being an instrument to take way some borthers and sisters away from their faith.这样,你是你自己思想的布料不仅给什么答复在下(销点),而且正以一种工具和方法,有些兄弟姐妹远离他们的信仰.

  36. shoshana says:的Shoshana内容为:

    Dear Angel,亲爱的天使
    First of all I did not mentioned any particular church but Christianity in general as it has been influenced in its early development by pagan doctrines such as Gnosticism and Mithraism (you may want to check these two in Googles or Ask Jeeves search engines).首先我没有提到任何特定的基督教教堂,但它已经影响了一般在早期发展的帕敢等诺斯替主义教义和mithraism(你想查这两googles或搜索引擎AskJeeves评介). These are the pernicious doctrines Paul warned about.这些都是有害的教义保罗警告. Please dear one, understand that Yeshua, his disciples, and thousands of early followers were all Jews.请各位亲爱的,知道yeshua、弟子、数千信徒都是犹太人早. He as well as the apostles were never Christians; they remained Jews all their lives.他从不以及使徒基督徒;他们仍然犹太人一辈子. Yeshua did not come to start a new religion; they were in effect a sect of Judaism.yeshua没来启动新的宗教;他们实际上是犹太教的一个教派.
    When I say Rome, I mean Rome the imperial government that took over most of the world at the time.当我说罗马,我的意思是说,罗马帝国政府接管了当时世界上最. The Romans threw most of the Jews out of Rome (some Hellenized ones remained), renamed Judea Palestinia and burned the temple.罗马大多数犹太人投掷出罗马(依然是一些hellenized)更名犹大palestinia焚烧庙宇. They also persecuted Jews, regardless of whether they believed in Yeshua as the promised Messiah or not, and tried to do away with all things they perceived as Jewish.他们还迫害犹太人,不管他们相信弥赛亚yeshua作为或不答应,并试图破除一切东西视为犹太人. Why?为什么? Because Jews kept on revolting and not subjecting themselves to Rome which they rightly perceived it to be a pagan nation.因为犹太人留在罗马反感,不服从他们认为这是一个正确的帕敢民族.
    Around 120 Current Era, some so called “church fathers” made some changes.大约120时代,一些所谓"教会神父"作了一些修改. Then later the Roman emperor Constantine declared himself a Christian (though afterwards he killed his wife and son).后来的罗马帝国皇帝君士坦丁宣布自己是一个基督教(虽然他事后杀害妻子和儿子). In 325 Constantine influenced the Council of Nicea so that the Sabbath was changed from the scriptural Saturday to Sunday (which Rome did not have a day of rest up to this point), and Rome’s yearly sun solstice celebration known as the Saturnalia, was declared Messiah’s birth date.在君士坦丁325影nicea使安息日会改为从圣经到周七周六(罗马没有一天休息到此时)罗马的一次庆祝活动,称为太阳solsticesaturnalia,宣告弥赛亚的出生日期. This was a politically savvy move on Constantine’s part as with one stroke he positioned himself to deal a blow to Jews who had for years given Rome a hard time at the same time that he unified his empire under one religion.这是一场政治举动悟性君士坦丁的一部分作为自己的位置,他一举打击犹太人由于多年辛苦罗马在同一时间,他在一个统一帝国的宗教他. Pagans were told in effect they could continue with their celebrations (with new meanings and names) and they could continue prostrating themselves to images as these images were given the names of virgins and saints, something the bible forbids, and something that Yahweh punished Israel for doing in the past (invariably the good kings of Israel would destroy all the statues but the people again would do as their pagan neighbors and do the same thing again).异教徒效应告诉他们可以继续他们在庆典(与新意,姓名),他们可以继续他们任何对这些影象获得图象的名字和处女圣人一些禁止圣经,耶和华为惩罚以色列和一些像过去(总是好国王,但以色列将全部摧毁佛像人再次将其作为近邻和异教徒做同样的事情再次). This is the reason why Israel was eventually sent into Diaspora.这也是为什么以色列终于送入散居.
    Yahweh established his Sabbath by example in the 2nd chapter of Genesis when he sat on the seventh day to rest.耶和华建立了他的安息日第二章例子创世记当他坐在第七天休息. Please notice he began his work week on Sunday, a normal workday.请通知他开始了工作,周七星期,一个正常工作日. Surely the Almighty never tires as man does so why did he sit to rest then?由于男子全能轮胎肯定没他为什么这样做,然后坐下来休息? Notice the previous day he made Adam and Eve and back then they walked with Yahweh, so, was he in actuality setting an example, which is the best teaching tool parents can use with children?公告前一天他和亚当与夏娃当年耶和华他们走路,所以他实际上是以身作则,这是最好的教学工具,家长可以利用与孩子? Was he not saying this is what I want you to do, sit and expend time with me?他没有说这是我想你这样,坐在花时间与我? What did he tell Moses to keep as one of the commandments?他怎样告诉摩西保持了一个格? The Sabbath.安息日. What does he mention over and over again through his prophets?到底他提去去凭着先知? The Sabbath.安息日. In what day of the week do we see Yeshua and his apostles going to the temple and synagogues?在什么日子,我们看见了他的使徒yeshua前往庙宇和犹太教堂. The Sabbath.安息日. God never changed His Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday man did, and then eventually renamed it the Lord’s day.上帝没有改变他的安息日从周六至星期日男子那样,那么最终改名上帝一天. Yahweh remains the same today yesterday and forever, and as it says in Isaiah 66, we will still observe Yahweh’s Sabbath in the millennium.耶和华昨天和今天永远不变,就是它在以赛亚66我们仍将遵循耶和华的安息日的来临. The Sabbath has always been and will continue to be Saturday despite man’s best efforts to change it.安息日一直并将继续是星期六尽管人类所能改变.

    What is significant about the seed is that it grows into multiples and remains forever.什么是重大的种子是成倍数成长,永远. But our role is to care for the seed by watering it, planting on fertile soil, providing additional fertilizer, weeding around it, harvesting , cleaning, and storing before planting again.但我们的工作是照顾的种子浇水,种植于肥沃的土壤,增设肥料周围除草、收割、清洗、储存,然后再种植. Whether we regard the seed as the word of God, which it is as our Daddy, Jesus, called it, or regard the seed as ourselves as some writers indicated in their articles, what is important is that the seed is a living organism.无论我们将种子作为上帝的话,这是因为我们的爸爸,耶稣称它,或者把自己作为种子,如一些作家们在文章最重要的是,种子是一个生命机体. It needs care to grow.它需要关怀成长. Thanks to God that he inspires us to nurture the seed.感谢上帝,他培育的种子催人. Our father gives us bountiful harvests of blessings when we reap what we sow and nurture.父亲给我们祝福,当我们收获丰硕的收获,我们播种、培育. The challenge is for us to inspire our friends, children and others to continue to sow, nurture, harvest and sow the seed again in perpetuity.我们面临的挑战是激励我们的朋友、儿童等继续播种、培育、播下种子,收获的又如履薄冰. Then we can confidently say, “I have been a good steward (sower)” I am indeed a son of the father ( John 1:12 )那么我们可以自信地说,"我已经好管家(传播者)"我的儿子真的父亲(约翰1:12)

    To All My dear Catholic Brothers & Sisters.所有我亲爱的兄弟与天主教修女.

    The topic on this blog, being centralised to American Independence day did not really interest me.这个专题博客,无法集中于美国独立纪念日,我都不太感兴趣. Also the parable of the Sower & the Seeds does not need further explanation, as this is one of the Parables Christ himself explained.同时上面的传播者与种子不需要进一步的解释,由于这是耶稣自己的寓言解释.

    However, Shoashana in all her learned ways (Wisdom) has her point to prove.但是,在她所有学到如何shoashana(智慧),以证明她的观点. All I ask you my brothers & sisters is to remain firm to the Apostolic Teachings and the Church no matter what Learned people have to tell you.我问你是我的兄弟姐妹仍然坚定地与教廷教义和教会不管人们向你学习. God’s wisdom is what we are to look at.上帝的智慧正是我们看. In her wisdom, Shoashana is probably forgetting that God is not limited in time and space, and for him One day could be a million years and a million years One day - Christ, clearly stated that the Sabbath was made for Man and not Man for Sabbath.在她的智慧,大概忘shoashana上帝不是有限的时间和空间,有一天,他可以和一百万年一百万年一天-基督明确指出安息日是为人而不是人为安息日. The first conversion was on the day of Pentecost which was a Sunday, and we clearly understand that this was the begining of the Church.第一天就被转换五旬正是周七、我们清醒地认识到,这是初教会. Scripture tells us that in Antioch, the followers were called Christians, so unlike what Shoashana says, it was not only Jews, who followed Christ but Gentiles, and they were called Christians.经文告诉我们,在安提阿的信徒被称为基督徒,所以不像shoashana说它不仅是犹太人,而是随同基督使者,他们被称为基督徒.

    3ABN, and some others will try to convince you that the Catholic Church is wrong, forgetting that Christ has promised to remain with his Church to the end of times,3abn,有人会试图说服你,教会是错误的,忘记基督已答应与他保持教会月底时报

    You are right Salvador, no I am not forgetting (nor do I see the connection with this); God is not limited in time and space, and as you said, for him one day could be a million years and a million years one day.萨尔瓦多是啊,我不是没有忘记(我也不认为与此);上帝不是有限的时间和空间,如你所说,他一天可以一百万年及一百万年一天. He does not live in time and space as we do.他并不住在时间和空间我们一样. You are also right; Messiah stated that the Sabbath was made for Man and not Man for Sabbath.你也没有错;弥赛亚说,安息日是为人而不是人为安息日. That is exactly what God did in the garden of Even; He made Sabbath for man to rest and expend time with the Almighty.这正是上帝的花园般连;他为人类做出安息日休息和耗费时间忙.
    However, there was no conversion at Pentecost, known as Shavuot, one of God’s 7 appointment times or moedims, since God gave Shavuot (Pentecost) and the other feasts to Israel and the foreigners with her long ago.但是,没有转化为五旬称为五旬之一上帝的七月聘任或者moedims时报、自从祈祷上帝给(恩)宴、以色列和其他外国人与她早就. During that particular Shavuot or Pentecost, the Jews followers of Yeshua gathered in an upper room of the Temple in prayer when the breath of the Almighty came appearing as flames as He did during the first Pentecost with Israel and the foreigners with her.在那次特别祈祷或五旬,yeshua犹太人信徒聚集在上寺祈祷室的当呼气的全能来到火光出现,作为像他那样在第一五旬的外国人,与她同以色列. Shavuot of course is one of the 3 pilgrimage feasts of the Almighty when devout Jews are told to visit Jerusalem which explains the crowds from all over with Jews from the Diaspora who spoke the various languages from the places they lived.祈祷当然是300万能当虔诚的朝圣宴告诉犹太人前往耶路撒冷解释与犹太人的人潮从各地散居的发言,从不同语言的地方住. There was not a conversion at that time since all the ones present ALREADY believed that Yeshua was their promised Messiah.有没有转换自那时正是目前已全部被其认为yeshua答应弥赛亚. They did not become Christians or any particular church group, Catholic included.他们没有成为基督徒或某一教会团体,包括天主教. The word church ecclesia, in Greek, was also meant for a political body.教会教堂一词,在希腊,也意味着一个政治组织. The word they also translate as church in many bibles is the word for assembly or congregation, which is why some churches correctly refer to themselves as assembly or congregation to this day.他们还用在许多教会圣经翻译为词,是为组装或聚集,这就是为什么一些教会正确指自己组装或聚集到今天. This word (congregation) is also the word kehilat in Hebrew, and there was a kehilat formed at the foot of the mount when Yahweh spoke to Moses and the people there heard him.这也是字(教区)kehilat希伯来字,还有一kehilat形成于山脚下的时候,耶和华向摩西人们听到他.
    No, I never said it was only Jews that believed but the EARLY believers in Yeshua as the promised Messiah were all Jews. Even to this day Messiah himself is a Jew, not a Christian of any denomination whatsoever. When Yeshua returns he will not do so as a Catholic, Baptist, Methodist, Muslim, Buddhist or whatever else is there but as a Jew which is how he left. Yahweh chose Israel and the line of David to bring the Messiah to the world, which was His choice. You can take that up with him if you want (although I strongly don’t recommend it). Israel was and remains the apple of the Almighty’s eye, that may not be written in any man- made book of any church DOGMA but it is written in the only book the Almighty has given man, the bible. Do not let the blinders and traditions of man rob you from what the Almighty has in store for you.

    Dear Shoshana
    In your own words
    “There was not a conversion at that time since all the ones present ALREADY believed that Yeshua was their promised Messiah.”

    And Scripture says:
    Act 2:37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
    Act 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
    Act 2:39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
    Act 2:40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
    Act 2:41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

    If this is not CONVERSION, what is?

    Shoshana my dear, Angel in her message has clearly stated what I and some others have, that you have a Point of view, which you are happy with, my dear sister, do not use this to draw people away from the Church. For if you suceed in taking away even one of the little ones that Christ has chosen for himself, you will have to pay a price. Instead endeavour to bring atleast one person to Christ.

    And like Angel says, we can give you a lot of scriptural facts, to show you that the Catholic Church is based on Apostolic tradition and teaching, and that it is the Church that Christ established.

    God Bless you

    Dear Salvador,
    Read carefully Acts 2:1-14, 1 The festival of Shavu’ot arrived, and the believers all gathered together in one place. 2 Suddenly there came a sound from the sky like the roar of a violent wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 Then they saw what looked like tongues of fire, which separated and came to rest on each one of them. 4 They were all filled with the Ruach HaKodesh and began to talk in different languages, as the Spirit enabled them to speak. 5 Now there were staying in Yerushalayim religious Jews from every nation under heaven. 6 When they heard this sound, a crowd gathered; they were confused, because each one heard the believers speaking in his own language. 7 Totally amazed, they asked, “How is this possible? Aren’t all these people who are speaking from the Galil? 8 How is it that we hear them speaking in our native languages? 9 We are Parthians, Medes, Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Y’hudah, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia, 10 Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome; 11 Jews by birth and proselytes; Jews from Crete and from Arabia. . . ! How is it that we hear them speaking in our own languages about the great things God has done?” 12 Amazed and confused, they all went on asking each other, “What can this mean?” 13 But others made fun of them and said, “They’ve just had too much wine!” 14 Then Kefa stood up with the Eleven and raised his voice to address them: “You Judeans, and all of you staying here in Yerushalayim! Let me tell you what this means! Listen carefully to me!

    Clearly the ones gathered in that place (the Temple) were the emissaries, the Jewish believers. If you read Chapter 1 these were Yeshua’s emissaries, not unbelieving Jews and proselytes to Judaism. When the other Jews and the proselytes who had not accepted Yeshua heard and saw what happened there and heard the testimony of the believers who had received the Holy Spirit then they also believed and joined the believers. There is nothing in those verses that speak of the church having been born at that time. That is a man-made tradition not found in the bible, at least not in the original scriptures. The ones that were there were Jews and proselytes (converts) to Judaism from all over the world, not Christians. They were not being converted to Christianity any more than Yeshua and his apostles were converted from Judaism into Christianity. They remained as Jews who finally had their long awaited Messiah. There were no Christians at that time, and despite the church tradition to the contrary, the church was not born then. These were Jews who kept Torah and as it says in verse 42, they continued faithfully in the teaching of the emissaries. The emissaries taught using the Torah, the prophets, and the testimony of what they learned from Yeshua, the Jewish Messiah. In Acts 2:44-46, they sold their things and shared all things in common meeting in the Temple daily. Dear Salvador, I know I can’t convict you but I pray to Yahweh for fresh revelation and conviction for you and all those called out by the father. Please do not allow the dogma of any church, group or organization put blinders over your eyes and color your views. When it comes to the word of the Almighty one of Israel we must be sincere setting aside all prejudices and previous notions.

    I have no intentions of drawing people away from the church; the church is the body of Messiah, his bride. The church, kehilat or congregation is made of saved Jews and the saved gentiles that have grafted themselves to the tree of life by the blood of Messiah. It was that way since back when Israel and the foreigners with her said I do to the Almighty. Where Messiah goes his bride will go, thus if he kept the Father’s Sabbaths and feasts such as Pentecost, then so will the faithful bride of Messiah. There is no way that I am trying to take away the saved ones, on the contrary, I am trying to bring them into THE WAY and away from man-made dogmas and ideas, a lot of them based in ignorance and old prejudices. Many that think are following Yeshua and pleasing him are really deceived. I realize you are very faithful to the Catholic church and I respect that, but equally there are Muslims that are very faithful to their faith and likewise claim it is from God. If the Catholic church was following the Jewish apostles traditions as you claim then there would not be a single statue in any Catholic church, nor would the Catholic church forsake God’s Sabbaths and feasts for man’s. That dear, is not what the apostles or Yeshua himself taught us to do by either words or deeds.

    Dear Shoshana,
    Like usual we can go on and on, and I am writing to you, inspite of a feeling that someone out there will one day tell us to ‘SHUT UP’

    Now as per my faith, I do not compare it to someone elses faith. Nor do I say that I am saved, (I hope I am, and that I am in grace on my dying bed) and that others are not.

    I only stick to the teachings from where I got my faith, and if it means wearing blinders, I will gladly do that, because Human wisdom, is foolishness in front of God.

    Of the many things that you believe in, you have now spoken about statues in the Church. If you know your scripture well, you will realise that God did not, say do not make statures per se, he said do not worship statutes. You will find the temple, and the ark was full of images, and most importantly when the serpents were killing the people, God it was that commanded Moses to make an image of a serpent, and all who LOOKED unto it, when bitten were saved? Was the bronze serpent an image of God, or were the people worshipping the idol (although later on, One of the kings had to destroy the snake image, because people had started worshipping it).

    So you see my dear sister, I sincerely believe In the promise of Christ, where he told the apostles, that when he goes, the Spirit would come and guide, and Christ definitely keeps his promise. Like his other promise of being with us till the end of times.

    God bless

    Dear Salvador,
    It is true that Yahweh said to make some molten images like the snake which as soon as the people worshipped off it went. He also asked to have the cherubims made for the arc, etc. but these where the only ones and he was specific on their use and in one place only, not to worship them or have them everywhere. Yahweh never said to make images after humans (virgins and saints). These are like the gods and goddesses images that Yahweh detests.
    Consider this please, in the Catholic Church, and especially among the Latin American population, there is a great number of people who do prostate themselves, pray and worship images (or the saints and virgins they represent). I have seen them both in person and TV doing this. They light candles to their image (saint, virgin) and so forth. You must admit to have seen this done as well. This as stated in some of the scriptures is even an abomination to the Almighty. Perhaps you personally do not participate in these activities as may be the case with American Catholics in general but this is obviously not the case with all Catholics.

    Asherah
    Asherah, and its plural form, Asherim, from the Hebrew word pronounced ash-ay-raw, refers to a pagan goddess, also known as Astarte to the Canaanites and Ishtar to the Assyrians and Babylonians (where we get the name Easter). The common symbols of the cult were tree trunks with all of their branches removed and images carved into them. These standing tree trunks were the reason that some versions of the Holy Bible translate the actual original word of the Holy Scriptures, Asherah or Asherim, as grove or groves e.g. for 2 Chronicles 15:16, from the RSV and KJV:
    “Even Maacah, his mother, King Asa removed from being queen mother because she had made an abominable image for Asherah. Asa cut down her image, crushed it, and burned it at the brook Kidron.” (Revised Standard Version)
    “And also concerning Maachah the mother of Asa the king, he removed her from being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove: and Asa cut down her idol, and stamped it, and burnt it at the brook Kidron.” (King James Version)
    The Asherah Cult
    As the Scriptures above make clear, the Israelites, from ordinary people to royalty, were greatly CORRUPTED by the cult of Asherah. The Lord commanded them not violate The Second Commandment, but they stubbornly and foolishly often did it anyway (just as millions of people still do today), despite the efforts of righteous people and God’s true prophets to rid the people, who claimed to be God’s people.

    Dear Shoashana,

    With your various views and comments it is obvious that you are living under Law, (OT), whereas, we Christians are living in Grace, for the law has been fulfilled by Christ (man being incapable God had to send his only Son, to become a pleasing sacrifice). We Catholics, understand that the teachings have come to us from the Apostles, (you have to read the early Church fathers, and not the early Reformers to understand the Catholic faith).
    I sincerely hope and pray, that all your rantings against the Catholic Church does not sway a true Christian to fossake Christ and his Church, and become prey to your teachings.
    GOd Bless

  48. Shoshana says:

    Dear Salvador,
    Nothing could be farther from the truth. If I am living under the curse of the law then so was Yeshua and so were the apostles, who kept it to a greater degree than I do. I am simply following him; as he said if you love me keep my commandments. By his grace we are saved, but the Christian church in general has been mislead into thinking grace is something that came after Yeshua. No dear one, grace has been given to man since the Garden of Eden, my ancestors lived under grace and by grace they were taken from Egypt and in spite of themselves brought into the Promised Land. There has always been grace.
    Yeshua having kept the law does not dismiss the law. He fulfilled the promises of the law but as he declared, not an iota (yud) will depart from it till the new heaven and earth comes. Man is very capable of following Yahweh’s commandments; His Sabbath, His feasts, His food regulation; we can all do it just as the apostles and early Jewish and gentile believers did. They did it and so can we! The church under the influence of the Roman government changed all that, but Yahweh never changed it. The church will have to go through a period of cleansing and learning before it can fully join the bride of Messiah, this too will happen to those who sincerely meant it when they said “I do” to Messiah Yeshua.
    I realize the Catholic church teaches that they are the early ones that form and unbroken chain from the apostles, but did you know that there is a group of Baptists, and an Apostolic Nazarene church making the same claims? How could there be so many? The fact is all are wrong as none really do as Yeshua did. They follow the teachings of man, not of God. They follow man-made doctrines and creeds, and often trample God’s commands saying ”they are done away with”. They choose man’s way over Yah’s way. Oh wait, but that is just what many of my ancestors often did. Only by His grace we are all still here!!!
    The time will come when things will get very ugly here on earth and those who remain faithful till the end will see the truth. I do not have any teachings of my own, none; all I have pointed to is in the bible to be verified by those who leave their doctrines behind and study the book with an open mind and heart. As I stated earlier, far be it for me to draw someone away from my beloved Jewish Messiah Yeshua, he is the way, the truth, and the life. However, most of today’s church is no more his true church than most of the present day rabbinical Judaism. At the present time, one has a picture of a lawless Messiah and bride, and the other has no true Messiah at all. Praise Yah that this too will change in due time as the truth is revealed. I do pray that the Ruach will open some spiritual ears so that by Yah’s grace I may, perhaps plant a seed or two.
    Yah bless you in Yeshua’s name.

  50. shoshana says:

    This parable of the seed also fits in with Acts 15, as the seed grows in good soil so does the word of Yah.
    Acts 15
    1 Some men came down from Judea to Antioch and were teaching the brothers: “Unless you are circumcised, according to the custom taught by Moses, you cannot be saved.”
    This chapter clearly starts out discussing a salvation issue in a specific community, Antioch. There was a group of Judeans essentially saying you first had to become a Jew in order to be saved. This may have been because they taught that since salvation was of the Jews, and gentiles were considered dogs, and since even Yeshua himself basically healed only a couple of gentiles that pressed on him this was the case as well. One can see where this thinking would come about, especially seeing how Yeshua and the apostles and other believers kept Torah. Regardless of their motivation this whole chapter deals with the issue of first having to be converted to Judaism in order to be saved by the blood of the lamb.

    5 Then some of the believers who belonged to the party of the Pharisees stood up and said, “The Gentiles must be circumcised and required to obey the Law of Moses.”
    Here we see a sect of Pharisees who had accepted Yeshua’s sacrifice and in proper Pharisaical way insisted that they must be circumcised and follow Torah. OK, so no surprises there. This was their background and training; Torah study and oral traditions as well. The good thing was, these men being Pharisees are saved, they saw Yeshua as the promised Messiah, praise Yah! They correctly see that one is to follow the commands, as Yeshua did and told us to do. The only problem is that in this case they wanted the gentiles to run before they could even stand up (much less walk). They may have not considered that new gentile believers needed to be weaned from milk to meat. Maybe they had come in contact with gentiles that already where very familiar with Torah so it was not much of a step for them but this was obviously not the case with these gentile believers as they had to be admonished to keep four very simple rules. Rules that apparently they were infringing upon which indicates the level of paganism these gentiles were living prior to accepting the sacrifice of Yeshua. Notice the response given to the believing Pharisees, which echoes Yeshua’s own mention of a yoke: 10 “Now then, why do you try to test God by putting on the necks of the disciples a yoke that neither we nor our fathers have been able to bear?” The statement is made, reiterating the point of this chapter, salvation for gentiles is the same as salvation for us (Jews), by faith in Yeshua’s sacrifice: 11 “No! We believe it is through the grace of our Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are.” Then they go on to ascertain: 20 “Instead we should write to them, telling them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood.” Clearly there was a problem among this particular community of gentile believers with these issues. There were obviously no God fearers to begin with, for God fearers would in all likelihood not need these admonitions. Had they been God fearers they would have probably gladly follow Torah as the next step in understanding of scriptures and as a natural desire to follow the Master’s steps. After all, that is what discipleship is all about, to follow the steps of the rabbi under which one is discipled.
    Yeshua gave the apostles the task of making disciples of all nations. Why would they disobey the words of Yeshua and shorten themselves by just telling a specific group of new gentile believers that all they have to do is the four things delineated in verse 20? Really that makes no sense at all. The answer is reflected in the following verse: 21 “For Moses has been preached in every city from the earliest times and is read in the synagogues on every Sabbath.” How did the God fearers became so? They heard Moses being preached! The apostles knew this, all these NEW BABIES in Messiah had to do to get on the right track was abstain from the very pagan practices they were accustomed to and then as they would go to the synagogues and temple the Ruach would convict them of the rest just at it happened with the other God fearers.
    If these believers were to fellowship with the rest of the body of Messiah they would have to go to synagogue and the Temple on Shabbat for at this point Sunday meetings was not an option, the Jewish apostles and believers to whom these new gentiles were joined met on the Sabbath, kept the feasts and kept Torah so it was a matter of time before they too would do likewise. However, they felt it was imperative that they at least forsake their idolatry, fornicating, etc. They reached a compromise of sorts to get them on board, but this in no way meant it was the end of the line.
