Mark 4:26-29
26 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;
27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.
28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.
29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.
Perspective
The Holy Spirit spreads the Gospel seed, the original seed is God's Anointed Word. The seed produces its own kind, believers in the Word of God. The believers (body of Christ) first hear and believe God's Word (receive and understand), then preserve, protect, and defend God's word!
​
The body of true believers are responsible for protecting, preserving, and defending the original seed, the Authorized Anointed Word of God. With so many Bibles available how can we determine which is the Authorized Word of God and which ones contain false doctrine?

The Lord said he would not leave us in darkness.
Deuteronomy 6:6-7
6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
