A Parable


There was a person who, by some fortunate event in life, came into the possession of a tulip bulb of a very expensive and beautiful variety.

However, this person knew she was not skilled as a gardener, nor was she confident that she could afford the costs associated with growing such a precious plant. In fact, she didn't even really care to raise tulips. Too much of a hassle; it would interfere with her other interests. She figured that if she tried to plant the bulb and nurture it, it would just suffer badly at her hands.

So, she cut it up and threw it out. After all, it would be such a shame for it to have to grow amongst weeds and and be neglected by an uncaring gardener. Much better off in the garbage, where it wouldn't have to suffer.

But Mike, that wasn't actually a tulip bulb. I mean it probably looked like one, and felt like one, but I know it was a weed. So it's totally fine to throw it out.

Nice job. AWFUL topic. :(

And I was about to accuse you of being an Arminian!
