You are wallowing in equivocation jumping between spiritual and physical.
Can you plant at ANY time of the year any plant like wheat or corn?

Gombs:

Redundancy.
There was this guy in the Bible that sowed in famine time-not a favorable time, a wrong time, the circumstances were against him, ...emm, sombody please remind me his name...he decided to sow into the land, he sowed anytime, there was always a time to sow. It is decided by the sower, God gives seed to the sower, it is the sower's job to sow. Moses and God were not playing grammar class when they wrote down "seedtime and harvest" instead of "seed time and harvest time" as a lot of you wish it was.

I am not mixing physical and spiritual, call nannymcphee, she was the one talking about seasons and natural course and semantics. When Isaac sowed did he consider weather, seasons and natural course? Was he being spiritual or carnal like you lot? When Jesus went to harvest fruits when it was not the tree's fruiting period, was he considering the harvesting season as you carnal lot keep bringing in natural seasons and course?

Meanwhile, I other new, you cunningly avoiding this question... for obvious reasons. See it here again

Can you explain why Jesus went to a tree and demanded for a fruit even when He knew it was not its time of fruiting?

vooks:

Nonsense. Nobody sowed anything during famine nowhere in the scriptures

You are yet to explain to us what Harvest in Genesis means not to mention seed time.

Please tell me why Jesus cursed a tree out of season

Gombs:


Na wa o! Candour, you see the kind people I debate scriptures with? Oya, go to Genesis 26, from verse 1, especially veree 12. His name was isaac!

Shame on you! You claim to know, but you keep making simpleton outta yourself. Simple Bible studying o!

I'm done with you, neonates and sissies are not worth the time.

Cheers

So you knew who did that and you pretended not to. Paste that verse here and show me where Isaac sowed in famine

Actually Gombs, lot of conclusions we've drawn from scripture that scripture didn't actually say. This unfortunately is one of them. let's examine

What is good for the goose is good for the gander
It helped your sorry pathetic case when you resorted to name calling as in above "Good morn and then Mr. 'Serpent sleeping with eve heretic'"

mbaemeka:
Bro Gombs and Bidam. I am happy you saw him evading the questions that turned his illogicalities on its head. I told you he doesn't know scriptures yet he would be the first to speak. Very similar with the serial monicker changer. How any bible student could not tell that you were referring to Isaac just shows what we have to contend with.

As per the *coughs* others. Don't cast all your pearls to swine o! Not everyone will understand at the same pace. Jesus told his disciples repeatedly that he would resurrect but guess what they did on the 3rd day- they went to embalm his body.Which means they still expected him to be dead regardless of how many times he told them that he would raise his temple.

I assure you what is happening here is a foundation school. Many will go back to proof-read the contradictions they always held unto as truth. Also be wary about those who say "he was referring to Jews here, he was referring to accusers there" but when Jesus was teaching about tithes in Matthew 23 the same group will ignore that he started by saying "the Kingdom of Heaven is like" and then claim that he was under the law then. At the end of the day they will call you a thief for giving tithes and then use other gospel books to call you names, forgetting that when Jesus taught most of what he said, Jews, accusers and Pharisees were part of the same audience.

Very funny things I tell you.

Gombs:


You did not see Vooks' blunder right? I understand

Examine the verse yourself. Thanks

Actually Gombs, a lot of conclusions we've drawn from scripture that scripture didn't actually say. This unfortunately is one of them. let's examine Isaac's story in Genesis Chapter 26 again

Gen 26:1
And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar

we can see here that there was famine in the land where Isaac currently dwelt and it was where Abraham had suffered famine previously (Gen 12:10) and most likely, this place was the land of Canaan (Gen 12:5-6). He left there and journeyed to Gerar; the land of the philistines. He most likely wasn't content to stay there and like his father before him, he wanted to go into Egypt. This is where God appeared to him warning against Egypt

Gen 26:2-3
And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down to Egypt; dwell in the land which i shall tell thee of: Sojourn in this land, and i will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;

Note the bible didn't say he wanted to go into Egypt but we see that God already knew his thoughts. He had already left his place of abode and had sojourned to a new territory (Gerar) with the intent to end up in Egypt but God asked him to stay in this new territory and he'll still bless him there and he obeyed.

Gen 26:6
And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:

If you say he reaped more than what the philistine farmers got, you'll be right (thats what the bible said) but there's nothing in the bible to say Gerar also shared the same fate (famine) as Canaan at this point in history.

Bidam,
What about this:
"So you also, when you have done all that you were commanded, say, 'We are unworthy servants; we have only done what was our duty.'". - Luke 17:10

Gombs:


Well, you're right

vooks:
Nobody said Paul was poor, that's your own invention probably not off your head
Once again,
Paul gave his
1. Time
2. Money
3. Privillege

Time is very obvious from the record of his journeying. Money is evident in that he is on record at least twice WORKING hard to maintain himself so as not to burden the churches. Paul partly funded his mission work. That means he gave his money to the ministry. No different from a minister who buys their instruments out of his savings. Paul was entitled to support for his work. 1 Cor 9. This is a right he waived.

You may ridicule his suffering and persecution but I won't join you. He did it for the sake of the gospel. So could you please explain to us how these immense sacrifices were rewarded given that there is a 'principle' of giving and receiving?

Bidam:
You should take time and study scriptures, pls. And read well what my post says without applying strawman.

Firstly i never ridiculed Paul's persecutions and sufferings those are your statements not mine.

Secondly you implied Paul was poor by you ridiculing about him not getting any "rewards" when he gave his time, money and priveledges for the gospel according to you.

The multiplicity of the 7 churches he planted, was it Paul's effort that multiplied it or God? Remember Paul planted the churches as seeds, what did God reward him with?

Even if he waived his rights to support did you NOT notice his doctrinal stand on GIVINGS he kept emphasing to the corinthians? Remember Paul dedicated a whole chapter 8 and 9 of 2 corinthians on christian generosity? Why would he do that since you said he doesn't want to burden the churches?

Moreso at the tail end of Paul's ministry he was a prisoner and wasn't working, if he gave all his money to the ministry, can you tell us where he got money to rent his OWN apartment for 2YEARS in rome doing nothing till he was to appear before nero in Acts 28:30?

We have left "seed time" & "harvest", its now famine!!

First things first, Gombs why did the bible say seedtime & harvest(without time) ?

mbaemeka, care to join?

LambanoPeace, also comment because you started the whole thing!

Bidam:
I am not a CE member, Let me help your scriptural ineptitude...Seed time is set by MAN, the time for harvest is SET BY GOD, whatever meanings you read into scriptures ARE your insinuations. Paul planted, Appolo watered, who gives the INCREASE
