What the Bible says about light and seed

The True Light "In him, (the Lord Jesus) was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it. The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world,…the world didn’t recognize him." John 1:4,9.

The Good Seed and the Weeds “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seeds in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away. Matthew 13:24,25.

Was This A Typo?

Was This A Typo?
From: Ask a Teacher. http://gracethrufaith.com/

Q. In one section of your commentary entitled “Seven Major Prophetic Signs Of The Second Coming” you say the following. “Already nearly one out of every four inhabitants of the world is Muslim, and like most Christians and Jews they don’t really know what they believe or why.” Are you really saying that or was there a typo error?


A. There was no typo. Research shows that most Christians, Jews, and Muslims cannot articulate the basic tenets of their faith. They believe what they’ve been taught to believe without doing their own study to confirm that it’s what their religion really says.

For example, even though Jesus clearly said that no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born again (John 3:3) a majority of those who call themselves Christians do not believe it’s necessary to be born again. A majority of those who call themselves Jews don’t follow the Law of Moses and don’t take the writings of their prophets literally, and a majority of Muslims either don’t know or don’t accept all the Quran requires of them.

Some follow a particular religion because of the culture in which they were raised, others because of the influence of someone they fear or respect. But comparatively few have done sufficient independent study to become personally persuaded that what it teaches is worthy of their commitment.
