Wed, 02 Jun 2010 21:18:26 +0000

my grandma bought me a necklace a long time ago and there was a paper in it that talked about the mustard seed and your faith, and i can’t seem to find it now.
the necklace is gold and its a white heart and in the center is a mustard seed.

i know that there is something in the Bible about a mustard seed, and if any of you know, please tell me the meaning?

Thanks!
God Bless :]

Why does the Bible incorrectly state that the mustard seed is the smallest?

Tue, 27 Apr 2010 21:23:01 +0000

there are many other seeds that are smaller, for example orchid seeds are almost microscopic

Matt 13:31-32: “the kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed which…is the least of all seeds, but when it is grown is the greatest among herbs and becometh a tree.”

*bonus error: mustard plants are not ‘trees”

The Mustard in the Bible versus the Quran (2)

Sat, 09 Jan 2010 21:19:39 +0000

The mustard is mentioned five times in the Bible, all of them are in the New Testament being not mentioned at all in the Old Testament.

The mustard is mentioned two times in the Quran.

Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed from that moment.

Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?

Jesus replied, “Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.

The Quran mentions more miracles that have been done by the Lord Jesus e.g. when he talks while he was a new born.

In addition, The Lord Jesus put two difficult criteria for a faith that is as small as a mustard seed.

According to the Lord Jesus, you will never ever find a Christian who has a faith as small as a mustard seed.

The Quran does not put such criteria for a small faith.

In addition, the Quran says that Allah shall set up scales of justice for the Day of Judgment, so that not a soul will be dealt with unjustly in the least, and if there be (no more than) the weight of a mustard seed, Allah will bring it (to account): and enough are we to take account.

The Mustard in the Bible:

Matthew 17:20

New International Version

He replied, “Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

New American Standard Bible

And He said to them, “Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.

English Standard Version

He said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.”

King James Version

And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

Luke 17:6

New International Version

He replied, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.

New American Standard Bible

And the Lord said, “If you had faith like a mustard seed, you would say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and be planted in the sea’; and it would obey you.

English Standard Version

And the Lord said, “If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.

King James Version

And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.

The Mustard in the Quran:

Chapter 31: LUQMAN (LUQMAN)

Verse 31:16

QARIB:

On the day of resurrection we shall set up just scales, so that no soul shall in the least be wronged, even though it be the weight of a grain of mustard seed we will bring it we suffice as reckoners.

SHAKIR:

And we will set up a just balance on the day of resurrection, so no soul shall be dealt with unjustly in the least; and though there be the weight of a grain of mustard seed, (yet) will we bring it, and sufficient are we to take account

PICKTHAL:

And we set a just balance for the day of resurrection so that no soul is wronged in aught. though it be of the weight of a grain of mustard seed, we bring it. and we suffice for reckoners.

YUSUFALI:

we shall set up scales of justice for the day of judgment, so that not a soul will be dealt with unjustly in the least, and if there be (no more than) the weight of a mustard seed, we will bring it (to account): and enough are we to take account.

The meaning of the verse:

And Allah shall set up the just balances for the Day of Resurrection; on the Day of Judgment, there will be a balance which will weigh only good and bad works (so that no soul is wronged in aught) no one will have his good works diminished nor his evil works increased. (Though it be of the weight of a grain of mustard seed, Allah will bring it; He requites for it.

And Allah suffices for reckoners to count all things; Allah is enough as Preserver and Knower.

The mustard in the Bible versus the Quran (1)

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 22:24:33 +0000

The mustard is mentioned five times in the Bible, all of them are in the New Testament being not mentioned at all in the Old Testament.

The mustard is mentioned two times in the Quran.

Matthew, Mark and Luke give the Parables of the Mustard Seed; they said that the kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed.

In addition, Mark claims that Mustard seed is the smallest of all the seeds on earth; and when it is planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants. This Mark’s claim is scientifically wrong.

================================

The Mustard in the Bible:

Matthew 13:31

New International Version

He told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field.

New American Standard Bible

He presented another parable to them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field;

English Standard Version

He put another parable before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field.

King James Version

Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:

Mark 4:30-32

New International Version

30Again he said, “What shall we say the kingdom of God is like, or what parable shall we use to describe it?

31It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest seed you plant in the ground.

32Yet when planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants, with such big branches that the birds of the air can perch in its shade.”

New American Standard Bible

30And He said, “How shall we picture the kingdom of God, or by what parable shall we present it?

31″It is like a mustard seed, which, when sown upon the soil, though it is smaller than all the seeds that are upon the soil,

32yet when it is sown, it grows up and becomes larger than all the garden plants and forms large branches; so that THE BIRDS OF THE AIR can NEST UNDER ITS SHADE.”

English Standard Version

30 And he said, “With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable shall we use for it?

31It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when sown on the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth,

32yet when it is sown it grows up and becomes larger than all the garden plants and puts out large branches, so that the birds of the air can make nests in its shade.”

King James Version

30And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?

31It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:

32But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.

Luke 13:19

New International Version

It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air perched in its branches.”

New American Standard Bible

“It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and threw into his own garden; and it grew and became a tree, and (A)THE BIRDS OF THE AIR NESTED IN ITS BRANCHES.”

English Standard Version

It is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his garden, and it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air made nests in its branches.”

King James Version

It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.

————

According to Mark 4:30-32:

Mustard seed is the smallest of all the seeds on earth.

When it is planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants

Scientifically speaking, Mustard seeds are about 2 mm in diameter; but they are not the smallest of all the seeds on earth.

Orchid seed is the smallest of all the seeds on earth.

The dust-like orchid seeds are the smallest with about one million seeds per gram.

On the other hand, when Mustard seed is planted, it grows and becomes 2 to 6 feet high and it will never ever become the largest of all garden plants.

Herein we have a problem:

According to the Christians’ faith, Jesus is God and Creator, and He must know that:

1- Mustard seed is NOT the smallest of all the seeds on earth, and

2- When it is planted, it grows and becomes 2 to 6 feet high and it will never ever become the largest of all garden plants.

Hence, it is either one of two:

1- The Lord Jesus has no idea about the Mustard seed.

2- Mark has no idea about what he wrote.

================================

The Mustard in the Quran:

Chapter 31: LUQMAN (LUQMAN)

Verse 31:16

QARIB:

(Luqman said ‘my son, if it should be but the weight of one grain of mustard seed, and though it be on a rock, or in the heavens, or in the earth, Allah shall bring it. surely, Allah is the subtle, aware.

SHAKIR:

O my son! surely if it is the very weight of the grain of a mustard-seed, even though it is in (the heart of) rock, or (high above) in the heaven or (deep down) in the earth, Allah will bring it (to light); surely Allah is knower of subtleties, aware;

PICKTHAL:

o my dear son! lo! though it be but the weight of a grain of mustard-seed, and though it be in a rock, or in the heavens, or in the earth, Allah will bring it forth. lo! Allah is subtile, aware.

YUSUFALI:

“O my son!” (Said Luqman), “if there be (but) the weight of a mustard-seed and it were (hidden) in a rock, or (anywhere) in the heavens or on earth, Allah will bring it forth: for Allah understands the finest mysteries, (and) is well-acquainted (with them).

Luqman, the wise man taught his son and said:

O my son! Even if it, namely, the evil trait, should be the weight of a grain of mustard-seed, and even if it be in a rock, or in the heavens, or in the earth, in other words, in the most concealed place therein, Allah will bring it forth, and He will call that person to account for it. Truly God is Subtle, in bringing it forth, Aware, of its location.
