Here is actually referring to obviously salvation sowing seeds, but you got this guy by the name of Ray comfort
Who uses this parable up and down?
He says well this is goes to show us that there's all kinds of false converts there in the world
Okay, because every single person here, you know, they had the seed and then there were a false cover
They weren't really saved in the in the first place
No, in fact the Bible is actually teaching us that there are three people saved and one was not
That's what it's teaching
But Ray comforts a fool
So when you put a parable in the mouth of a fool
He's gonna say that none of them were saved and then he builds this weird doctrine about this false convert movement
You know talk about Baptist churches specifically and he's saying, you know, everyone all you know, all these false converts
It's not repeating of their scene
He gets into repent of their scene. That's why they make a profession of faith and they never go to church
I
Need to go to church in order to be saved. I mean if they're saying they'll go to church
So he builds his complete tower of false doctrine because there's a parable in his mouth and because he's not saved
He's perverting it
See the teaching here and by the way, it's explained in verse 18
Look what it says in verse 18 here you therefore the parable of the sower when anyone here at the word of the kingdom
And understandeth and not then cometh the wicked one and catcheth the way that which was sown in his heart
This is he which received seed by the wayside. So this person was not saved
But he that received the seed into stony places the same as he that was here at the word and anon immediately with joy
Receiveth it yet hath he no rooted in himself
But do it for a while for when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word by him by he is offended
It doesn't say he lost his salvation just says he's offended. I offend people all the time. That doesn't mean they're not saved
Verse 22 he also that received seed among the thorns is he that here at the word and the
Cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choked the word and it become it unsaved
That was says become with them fruitful
You see say people can remain unfruitful
So for example, if there's a couple who can't have children, do we just say they're not really people
Oh
You guys aren't real people because real people have children. It's like no they exist. They're real. They're just unfruitful
Well the same thing here a Christian who gets saved
Can also become unfruitful
Okay by not doing anything and in fact, it says here the cares of this world the deceitfulness of riches those choked the word
Okay now look at verse 23, but he that received seed in the ground good ground
Is he that here at the word and understandeth it which also?
Beareth fruit so he understands it. What does that mean?
He got saved he understands it
But he also bears fruit and bringeth forth some 100 some 60 some 30 etc
So this explanation is very clear and this is a good principle for us to live by that
We're supposed to go out there preach the gospel see people saved
You know what?
There's gonna be some people who don't you know
We sow that seed and the devil is gonna try to steal that seed out of their heart three will get saved
But you know what out of those three two of them will fall away one will get offended one
Just gets choked by the by the cares of this world and one actually begins sowing. Amen
So we were trying to give the gospel to everyone
But we understand that not everyone's gonna get saved a good amount will and out of that good amount
Guess what will probably produce one soul winner. It'll come out and begin living for the Lord begin coming to church
They'll get baptized so on and so forth
