The Parable of the Sower

Proverbs 26
1 As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool.
2 As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.
3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back.
4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
6 He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage.
7 The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
8 As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honour to a fool.
9 As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouths of fools.
10 The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors.
11 As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.

This means there are good and bad rich people. At the same time there are good and bad poor people. People have free will so some people go back to their old ways. And some do not. Fools do not have honor. If you do not have a good and definite purpose in doing things then you are a fool. Just the same, if you follow the ways of a fool to send messages, you will get hurt. To discipline a fool, you do not argue like a fool. Instead whip, bridle and hit the fool with a rod. To those hurted with the thorn of this parable, it means their mind is clouded with corruption.

Same Direction from Hoobastank

But i'm not ever going to know if i'm right or wrong

'cause we're all going in the same direction

And i'm not sure which way to go because all along

We've been going in the same direction

You do not know the way or you are not sure which way to go, follow the guide you find in this blog. 

Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Isaiah 65:21 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.17For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

Okay to answer some people: I believe in reincarnation. When we die, we will be born again in a new heaven and a new earth. But you cannot remember what happened in your past life. I believe the Bible is a guide for living. This all written in this blog. So my advice is to seek the kingdom of God and enjoy life.

For houses of major religions, they have strong foundations and structural components that can withstand forces of nature but they really have to fix the structural damages brought by quakes. Number one is the way they treat women. For men, handle women with care for they are the weaker vessels. They are easily hurt physically and emotionally. They are not slaves rather treat them as equals. Just sharing a story about the University of Santo Tomas which was founded 1611, I know for a fact 'cause I have measured it in my college days that their old buildings have one-meter thick solid walls of concrete. That is why it withstood the test of time.

For houses of minor religions, meaning sects, its time for you to evacuate because your small house is severely damaged from the typhoon. For your kids sake, let them grow in the good soil. You know the film Hero?  So 'Jet Li' realized the reason why another assassin did not kill the Emperor when the assassin had the chance. In the end, 'Jet Li' lets himself be executed. This was known later as the Qin dynasty. See post: http://lukasabridged.blogspot.com/2015/04/hero.html

Matthew 13:3And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow; 4And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up: 5Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth: 6And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. 7And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them: 8But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. 9Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Luke 8:11Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. 12Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. 13They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away. 14And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. 15But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

Mark 4:4And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up. 5And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth: 6But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. 7And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. 8And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred. 9And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. 

Adagio means slowly. Major religions should change slowly for the same direction. One direction.
