Tony "Two Scoops" Marino :

No dilemma. In the time of Jesus, the black mustard seed (Brassica nigra) was considered the smallest of all seeds commonly sown by farmers in ancient Judea. Measuring roughly 1 to 2 millimeters in diameter, it was a familiar metaphor for everyday agrarian communities

রাহাত 🧩 :

Im a muslim myslef but when that verse was read my mind went to the fact that the mustard seed was the smallest, ON THAT FEILD. As it mentions in the verse shown.

Eguy blessed :

Finish the rest of the parable, Mustard seed grows into a mighty tree.

JNM :

Jesus does not explicitly say, “This is the smallest seed on Earth” in modern scientific language. He is speaking in the context of a parable to people familiar with local farming and gardening. The Greek text is often understood by scholars in the context of seeds that would be sown in a field or garden by his audience.

Sabi :

Because the mustard seed was known as one of the smallest seeds, Jesus used it as a metaphor to show that the quality of your faith is more important than the quantity. Just like a tiny seed holds the potential to grow into a large tree, even a small amount of faith can have a huge impact.

maxedoutjosh :

As a Christian, I actually respect Korra. Her arguements are typically quite thorough. That said, with this example, she’s reaching a lot calling this a dilemma. For example, when a teacher says “Everyone is here.”, is the context the classroom, or the whole world?

i_oqa_man :

The smallest seed in the world is the orchid seed. However, Christ was teaching about the Kingdom of God, and the mustard seed was a better representation of the theology He was conveying. Unlike orchid seeds, mustard seeds grow into large plants, making them a fitting analogy for the Kingdom’s growth. Moreover, the mustard seed was familiar to Jesus’ audience, so His disciples could readily understand the illustration.

Andy Ramsden :

There is no dilemma. He was speaking to farmers about the smallest seed that would be planted. It’s a parable about how something so small can grow exponentially large, like His kingdom and our faith. Don’t waste your time.

ff :

It is a parable, not a science lesson; it is meant to explain moral and spiritual values

alucard :

in Greek the word used for seeds is "σπερμάτων" which are seeds you plant to eat like wheat for example so the mustand seed is the smallest eatable seed of the first century Judea

Bob :

‘Like an orchid seed’ ‘what on earth is an orchid seed?’ Is how I imagine the conversation would go had he said orchid seed.

KingDawah :

Yessir 🔥

Edhen :

In this case, it really was the smallest seed at the time, and as you yourself say it was part of a parable. If he had compared it to a seed that people back then didn't know, then the parable and therefore his teaching would have made no sense.

chris :

according to a mustard seed what is the smallest seed can grow as big as a trre
