In Luke 8:11 Jesus explains that the seed he was sowing out to everyone, (that would bring an abundant crop for some) was the "Word of God."

So, what was this "Word of God" that he was sowing? I doubt that he was passing out those Old Testament scrolls (so it was not the Bible).

Others have told me that the Word is Jesus. But that does not make any sense in this context. And others told me that his "Word" was his teachings. But the people who say that don’t explain what that particular teaching was, so I just assume they don’t know.

Do you know what Jesus was sowing in the Parable of the Sower? He called it the "Word of God" and said that people hear the word of God and "Do It." So what did he want those people "doing" so that they would have an abundant crop?

I have asked similar questions before, but no one has admitted they don’t know… but their answers lead me to think that they don’t know. Is anyone here willing to admit that they don’t know?

More context on the Kingdom Gospel is in my biography.

Jesus was sowing the Original "Word of God" in the Parable of the Sower. Luke 8:11

And since the New Testament did not exist at that time, would you trade your Word of God and Paul’s teachings of sacrifice for sins for the Original Word of God that Jesus was actually sowing?

Puzzle from http://gospelenigma.com

The New Testament did not even exist when Jesus used the term "Word of God" in the Parable of the Sower (Luke 8:11). So why in the world would believers think that something that did not exist would be included in what Jesus himself called the "Word of God?"

Was he sowing out Bibles?

Just exactly what was Jesus sowing out to all those people that would bring a "bountiful crop." It certainly was not the Bible… and it certainly was not himself if he was the one who was sowing that word.

Was it his message?… and if so, what particular message of his was called the "Word of God?"

This question (puzzle) comes from the Gospel Enigma e-book.

It is common for ministers to say that the Bible is the Word of God, and John 1:1 says: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

So, the conclusion would be that the Bible is their God.

To make the puzzle even more interesting is the fact that Jesus himself was speaking about the Word of God in the Parable of the Sower, long before the New Testatment came along (and I doubt that he was sowing the Old Testament out to the people either)

I think the Word of God is something other than the Bible… something much more profound than 1500 pages of reading. So what do you think? Is the Bible the Word of God that Jesus was speakng about in the Parable of the Sower… and the Word which is found in John 1:1?

Or is the phrase "Word of God" just being used to elevate the status of people like Paul/Saul, who in fact was rather active in terrorizing the Original disciples (Acts 7:58-8:3).

Question from http://gospelenigma.com (Ch. 6)

Matthew 7:16 you shall know them by their fruits, does this scripture gives you a clue. For those who believed that the apostle Paul was a scholar, let’s define scholars first before claiming what Paul was. A Scholar is somebody who has a great deal of knowledge, especially an academic who specializes in a particular arts subject.

No offense, but Paul was no scholar. The man went around causing havoc among God’s people and if he really had as much knowledge as people claim him to have, then he would have known who Jesus was through scripture since the old testament does tell you about the coming of Christ and he wouldn’t have been going around doing the things he did. By the way, Paul teaching comes from the old testament books. So instead of saying he was a scholar tell people the truth, Paul was clueless.
It wasn’t until Paul was baptize that Paul received the Holy Spirit and it was the Holy Spirit that was teaching Paul. So the things Paul knew came from The Holy Spirit, not from Paul being a scholar as the church would like you to believe. If anyone should be called a scholar, it would have to be the disciples since they walked with Christ and was taught by Christ.
And to be able to sit down and write books from their experience, now that is what a true scholars, is. But to say that Paul was a scholar is like putting a little leaguer in with the big league.

We had a nine year old boy who came to the mission to preach one day and the boy had a lot of knowledge. reminded me of the apostle Paul cause he just went from scripture to scripture preaching away but at the end of the service, when the guys went to ask the boy some questions, dealing with the things he taught the boy was clueless.

If Paul was here today, I would have questioned his teaching since a lot of his letters are nothing but a big jigsaw puzzle scrambled around from different scriptures out of the old testament. There are letters that Paul writes that if you sat down (in which I did) and went and found where he says it is either written or scripture, it would have been found in all different part of the old testament. And for those who believe Paul to be all mighty with his teaching, he isn’t. cause there are things that Paul says it is written, which isnt even in the bible. Paul was nothing but a man who sat down with a pen and a pad and picked scripture from the old testament to add to his letters including scriptures of his own belief which is not written as he claim.
Paul may have been choosen by Christ, but Paul was also a liar according to his own letters. since not everything Paul claim to be written is found. anyone can sit down with a piece of paper and pen and write the things Paul wrote. the bible tells us to test the spirit and if you read for yourself the things of Paul, you will know that most of the things Paul wrote are taken out of context, words have been subtracted and added from the scripture he has used.
I believe Paul’s letters are what Paul believed but I would never teach most of the things Paul believes since most of the letters are contradicting and rather it was meant to a certain group of people, why in the world would we teach it to everyone if it was not meant for everyone. If we were to remove Paul’s letters from the bible, I believe it would help us to grow and learn the ways of Jesus and not the ways of Paul.
Paul says he doesn’t allow women to preach, that is not any man call since that is not the way nor the truth. and for a man to tell a woman she can’t preach, is not of God and if its not of God then it shouldn’t be taught. God may have used Paul, but he also used Satan.
