Luke.8
- [18] Take heed then how you hear; for to him who has will more be given, and from him who has not, even what he thinks that he has will be taken away."
I suspect that they didn't pay attention to "how they hear", and so as they are given to go on with more of the same. Whereas, if they had not "thought evil in their hearts" about others, even what they had would be taken away.

I'm not positive but I believe they interpret it as those who hear with their WHOLE HEARTS and believe in Christ with their WHOLE HEARTS will (in the long run) be blessed with much more then those who merely say they hear and believe and think they know but put their wants (material) first. Those will in the long run be losers and end up with nothing.

So, I suppose they interpret as "he who wants to have faith in jehovah's existence will receive more faith in jehovah's existence" - I thought that was probably something like it - I suppose it must be or else they'd be more careful with the way they keep building those sort of doctrines - "more will be given".
As they hear that very passage, they've already neglected the advice - "take heed how you hear".

Yeh that seems to sum it up nicely. In order to really want to know more it must come from the heart.
