Beloved friends in Christ
Lets talk about context
Can there be more than one context within a verse of the bible
lets look at Mark 4:13-20
13 And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?
14 The sower soweth the word.
15 And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.
16 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;
themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.
18 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,
19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
20 And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.

7. There the context of the reason for the words
8. There the context of within the flesh
9. There the context of within the body
10. There the context of within the spirit
11. There the context of the past, present, and future
12. There the context of eternal
And these are all found to be part of that parable
with love and an holy kiss blowing your way Roy
