Question: Do non-Christians agree that the cause of the death of the sower in the parable of the sower happened?

<P0-S0> The baptism of Jesus and his crucifixion are considered to be two historically certain facts about Jesus. <P0-S1> James Dunn states that these "two facts in the life of Jesus command almost universal assent" and "rank so high on the 'almost impossible to doubt or deny' scale of historical facts" that they are often the starting points for the study of the historical Jesus. <P0-S2> Bart Ehrman states that the crucifixion of Jesus on the orders of Pontius Pilate is the most certain element about him. <P0-S3> Eddy and Boyd state that it is now "firmly established" that there is non-Christian confirmation of the crucifixion of Jesus. <P0-S4> Craig Blomberg states that most scholars in the third quest for the historical Jesus consider the crucifixion indisputable. <P0-S5> Christopher M. Tuckett states that, although the exact reasons for the death of Jesus are hard to determine, one of the indisputable facts about him is that he was crucified. <P0-S6> John Dominic Crossan states that the crucifixion of Jesus is as certain as any historical fact can be. <SEP> <P1-S0> Most Christians believe Jesus enables people to be reconciled to God. <P1-S1> The Nicene Creed asserts that Jesus will judge the living and the dead either before or after their bodily resurrection, an event tied to the Second Coming of Jesus in Christian eschatology. <P1-S2> The great majority of Christians worship Jesus as the incarnation of God the Son, the second of three persons of the Trinity. <P1-S3> A minority of Christian denominations reject Trinitarianism, wholly or partly, as non-scriptural. <P1-S4> The birth of Jesus is celebrated annually on December 25 (or various dates in January by some eastern churches) as Christmas. <P1-S5> Christian doctrines include the beliefs that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit, was born of a virgin named Mary, performed miracles, founded the Christian Church, died by crucifixion as a sacrifice to achieve atonement for sin, rose from the dead, and ascended into Heaven, from where he will return. <P1-S6> His crucifixion is honored on Good Friday and his resurrection on Easter. <P1-S7> The widely used calendar era "AD", from the Latin "anno Domini" ("in the year of the Lord"), and the equivalent alternative "CE", are based on the approximate birthdate of Jesus. <SEP> <P2-S0> preterm birth is the most common cause of perinatal mortality, causing almost 30 percent of neonatal deaths. <P2-S1> infant respiratory distress syndrome, in turn, is the leading cause of death in preterm infants, affecting about 1% of newborn infants. <P2-S2> birth defects cause about 21 percent of neonatal death. <SEP> <P3-S0> The Parable of the Sower (sometimes called the Parable of the Soils) is a parable of Jesus found in the three Synoptic Gospels in Matthew 13: 1 - 23, Mark 4: 1 - 20, and Luke 8: 1 - 15. <P3-S1> In the story, a sower sows seed; some seed falls on the path (way side), on rocky ground and among thorns, and it is lost, but when it falls on good earth it grows, yielding thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold. <SEP> <P4-S0> the parable of the good samaritan is a parable told by jesus in the gospel of luke it is about a traveler who is stripped of clothing, beaten, and left half dead alongside the road. <P4-S1> first a priest and then a levite comes by, but both avoid the man. <P4-S2> finally, a samaritan happens upon the traveler. <P4-S3> samaritans and jews generally despised each other, but the samaritan helps the injured man. <P4-S4> jesus is described as telling the parable in response to the question from a lawyer, ``and who is my neighbor? <P4-S5> ''who leviticus lev 19: 18 says should be loved. <P4-S6> in response, jesus tells the parable, the conclusion of which is that the neighbour figure in the parable is the man who shows mercy to the injured man -- that is, the samaritan.
