But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth
the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an
hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. Matthew 13:23
The sower soweth
the word. Mark 4:14
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. Mark 4:20
But 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. Luke 8:15
In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1
And the Word
was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the
only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John 1:14
And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear
the word of God, and do it. Luke 8:21
For he whom God hath sent
speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.
John 3:34
If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the
scripture cannot be broken; John 10:35
Just like humans living off food
and water every day. A wise man lives off The Word of God, written down in all the
world's religious writings and through the good ideas and thoughts he receives each
day.
How should one evaluate religious texts and extracting the good out
them? Baird T. Spalding said an
important principle, when it comes to religious scriptures: "Truth is the same
regardless of the book that presents it or the teacher who proclaims it."
It applies very much his own book series where
spiritual thruths and
lies placed in the mouth of known and
unknown masters like Jesus and Buddha. The editor of the journal, The Seeker,
Sven Magnusson 1930-2008 said the following wise words:
Ignorance is
natural. One is not born rich on knowledge. But one can tread it wise search path,
listen to knowledgeable but critical persons, to read good literature and not naive
to accept everything. To travel on the wise search path consists largely in
increasing your knowledge, lucidity your sense and after review to submit attitudes
that do not have it good basis in experience and senses. The critical examining
thought is the search instrument number one.
I usually pray a sincere
prayer, and I read a chapter from Gospels and makes my
I AM affirmations,
morning and evening. I am a follower of Jesus, whilst recognizing the there is
wisdom in other religions. On my
Lovepage are some words of wisdom
from many wisdom teachers
