Dr. Pitre, I could listen to you for hours explaining the Gospels and the connection to the Old Testament.

Wonderful teaching on the symbolism. I love how parables do not mean what we think they do at face value. Thanks for you teaching Dr Pitre.

Another mind blower. Thanks Dr. Pitre

Thank you Dr Pitre .as soon as I see a video from you it lightens my day. Thank you and God bless you.

Thank you! I love seeing more deeply how the scriptures reveal the heart of God to us.

I like that the mustard seed started small end ended up as a shrub rather than a towering tree. I think it pushes humility in a big way.

Dr. Pitre you are amazing, Thank you so much and God Bless You.

Thank you, Dr. Pitre.

I highly recommend the purchasing the entire series, I got it for Christmas and it's absolutely great

Fabulous insight. Thank you Dr Brant!

What a wonderful meaning and great explanation.....!!!!!

The way Dr. Pitre starts with the definition of terms is classic. He then puts the elements together and voila, the argument is complete and the theological point is made.

Thank you, Dr. Pitre have a blessed day.

Hello from the land of cedars The cedar is in the middle of of Lebanon flag 🇱🇧 the cedar is known to live in high altitude in cold mountains covered with snow for half of the year days. We have a small forest called cedars of God because they lived for hundred of years and cedars are often associated with the attribute of eternity.

Thank you. Sometimes reading the Bible is difficult. This definitely makes sense for me. God bless🙏

Thank you for sharing. Have a good day today

Love this episode after lifting up and speaking highly of the worldly kingdoms, symbolized by the Great Cedar and then the lowliness, the suffering continues as usual for the Kingdom of Israel and the Catholic nation to this day and age. A hidden power in faith and trust. We continue to be held in humility to sharpen our humanity and properly blend the forbidden knowledge and how it is tapered and tamed by humility and grace to yield a greater Kingdom, a more solid foundation not worldly and physical, but a nation that God Himself will intervene in righteous measure and timing to defend and crush even Egypt back then and present day Super Powers to yield His great goal for us. Gods intervention is soon and depicted in Revelation even more dramatically then the Exodus and parting of the Red Sea etc. The humility is of such an unattractive appeal not welcoming to those God intends to weed out.

i learn more every episodes from dr.petrie than in any other oodcast.

thnkas Dr Brant, that was excellent

What a seedy parable!

Thanks!

Excellent! Very interesting, thank you.

Excellent explanation Dr. Pitre 😍😍😍 I was thinking of the mustard tree to be a big and a massive tree. But this explanation corrected my erroneous understanding of this parable and this reminded me of the deep insight at which we have to look at a parable ♥♥♥

Thank you Dr Pitre for the great video. Wonderful Bible lesson.

I contemplated on this parable for awhile prior to becoming Catholic and it was only after I converted that I realized it was the Church. I think the growth of the Church is right and the expansion from Jews to gentiles as well, but I also came to the conclusion that it likely pertains to the development of doctrine as well.

Great video!

🙏🕯🌹🕊❤️

Thank you ☮️✝️👍🤗

Wonderful analogy of the two seeds

Jesus parables frequently draw attention to symbols of humility, like the mustard seed.

something super different from what I've always heard.

Your many references to it being like a garden brings to my mind an Old nursery rhyme. Mary Mary Quite CONTRARY HOW DOES your Garden grow Also Mary had a little Lamb. Everywhere Mary went The Lamb Was sure to follow Oedipus much All consuming mother much

This seems to be Dr Pitre commenting on the readings for the 11th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year B.

Hi Dr. Pitre, do you think the opposite for those who oppose the Church which is the mustard tree, are also represent the weed parable? Meaning, that there’s only one tree, the Church, while those who rebelled against the Church, are like the scattered weeds?

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="919">15:19</a> why not ? The old Israel started with 12 sons, the new Israel started with 12 apostles. The new Israel came out of the old Israel. _"Come out of her, my people"_

I think he misses the main point of the Gospel. The kingdom grows in a mysterious way, and it is God at work. God calls for us to participate in this work of building the kingdom by planting the seed, but then we must also trust that God will bless our work and make it bear fruit.

You have a strange concept of a graft - maybe it's a case of us being divided by a common language 🤔

Paul teaches the Church, the body of Christ. Only revealed in Paul’s epistles (revealed as a mystery-secret hidden) to Paul.

just like the arabs and jews...what does egypt had that they didn't steal from other the jews and others.......ask them?............

Orchids have the smallest seeds. You would think God would have known something like that. Now a regular person living in the middle east two thousand years ago, may think a mustard seed is the smallest. But a person that claims to be magical and all knowing would know the Orchid has the smallest seed. Either Jesus didn't know, or he lied.
