Yes of course, however there is naturally good soil, it is receptive, if all soil is the same then it would seem to me there is no point to the parable.
Granular soils with a loamy texture make the best farmland, for example, because it holds water and nutrients well.
Having said this, it does not mean that I am arguing that the good soil is without sin, which @Macabeus seems to think that I am implying, which is really outside of the whole point of the parable.

It's OK D....we don't have to agree.
I WILL continue to say that God requires our obedience...
If you don't agree...you don't agree.
I do wish you wouldn't call obeying God an "embellishment"...
It doesn't seem like an embellishment to me...it seems like something God wants from me,,,a believer.
He requires nothing, no embellishments from non-believers/ they're lost anyway.

I don't have to take it up with Google Translate.
I was born here and speak Italian.
Here's your Italian lesson:
Nessuna refers to nouns....female nouns
Nessuno drops the "o" ..... male nouns
When speaking about people,,,like in this thread...it's nessuno---mix of male and female.
If it's only a group of females ,,,then it's nessuna.
There's more but I think you get the picture.
I'd like to use this opportunity to say that THIS is why Greek lexicons are VERY LIMITED in how we understand "the Greek".
If we don't speak Koine Greek,,,we shouldn't be discussing it.
We simply don't know enough...even if we studied it our knowledge will be incomplete.

I couldn't agree with you more.
That image is this:
Isaiah 5:20
20Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness;
Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
It's just that I'm so tired of posting it and I thought the image was worth a thousand words.
It seems to me that those here that say we are to obey God are called evil...
And those that say it doesn't matter, are called the righteous by Jesus' death.
We all believe in Jesus.....so I think obeying God is important.
