What might mold be symbolic of?

[nebula]

In the Books of the Law, there is a fair piece dealing with mold and what to do about it.

Now taking the principle that that often in Scripture things described in the physical have a spiritual application, what might mold be a representation of symbol of specifically?

(I am thinking that the nature of mold might make it something more specific than just blanket "sin." But what might that be?

The main thing about mold is that it cannot live in the sunlight.

If you drag mold out into the sun light, from it's dark and secret place it dies.

If you drag sin, any sin, out from it's dark secret place into the burning light of CHRIST JESUS it dies.

I don't think mold represents a specific sin, just sin in general.

[Matthitjah]

It thrives in damp dark places.

Mold is everywhere in the environment and cannot be avoided. It reproduces through spores and those spores are in just about any home any where awaiting the right conditions to thrive. In the outdoors it is harmless but abundent. It needs to feed on something to grow yeast, cellulose, and sugar are good substrates. The right kind of mold indoors and in the right environment can become a health concern and even deadly.

We can do things to promote it's growth by not allowing in plenty of fresh air and light.

It will not grow if we do not feed it.

It is symbolic of an organic growth. Just kidding, I understand the scab your picking at sis.

It actually plays a role in keeping the environment healthy in certain circusmtances by helping to break down organic materials. It is also critical in the production of certain antibiotics.

Mold will positively, absolutely, not grow on a Twinkie, that is why you should never eat those darned things. They are most certainly not organic material.

Peace,

I am going to have to tell my husband that!!! he just loves those things!

I never gave mold any thought until Nebulas post but I love this thinking, I am going to have to remember it and pass it along. I have a housebound friend who believes there is no sin found within her simply because she doesn't talk to anyone but a few family members. This is a something she would understand, thanks.

LOL at Dave!

Thanks for the responses.

Anyone else?

Great Job! Never notice that in the Books of the Law have to check it out now. Thanks Nebula if someone would have told me I would look at a discussion on mold and find it interesting I would have said you are nuts. But this has been both interesting and educational for me.

all the points i read here are cool ,,, i can relate

neb comes up with some twistin stuff and i love it

mold what a concept

so i take out that block of sharp cheddar and i see some mold growing on it ( dont get sick here )

and doing what my daddy taught me i cut off the mold and eat the clean stuff

so how i see it (my OPINION )

im a block a cheese ,,, as i live my life jesus trims the mold off till im acceptable

or i see it this way

i see a unsaved person ,,, but thru the mold i know there is good in him

or maybe this way

i see a christian that aint living right ( his fruit is moldy )

mold as hunter said cant deal with the light

and i think ive seen mold grow on everthing ive ever put in a fridge

it feeds off of rot

love in christ arrow

Possibly mold specifically here refers to not sin specifically, but someone who has become complacent and is just doing the "status quo" in their walk.

ohhhh man.... i was hoping that by eating them with all the preservatives in them that I could out live Methusila.... if I dont eat them, I will not last as long as Moses did (120)

I like how the twinkie was discribed in the movie (staring bruce willis, i believe) in office building during the Christmas party......

come to think of it, i dont think i have ever seen any green black or red or white on one... other then the cream filling.....
