  This quote is from a Kingdom Ministry of 1995. What does the phrase "Substance sufficient" mean ?

  What does speaking God’s Word boldly not mean? [uw p. 175 par. 13] It

  does not mean being harsh or defiant in our manner. (Substance sufficient)

  This appears to be a muliple choice question with the answer they want in bold. Are they saying the wheat is limited to anointed?

  In Jesus’ illustration at Matthew 13:36-43, the wheat represents (the faithful men of old; the great crowd; anointed

  Christians), whereas the weeds represent (all nonbelievers; imitation Christians; the scribes and Pharisees). [uw p. 179 par. 7]

  Hi Jerry 1,

  I think what they are saying is that the substance (the gist - what it's saying) in God's word is the motivating factor not what we might say maybe resorting to harsh words to get across the meaning. Therefore, it's enough (sufficient) for God's word to speak for itself.

  Does that make sense?
