They need to being about simpler entry to the plant for individuals in want, and the verse they based mostly the group’s identify on reads, “And God mentioned, Behold, I’ve given you each herb bearing seed, which is on the face of all of the earth, and each tree, within the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you, it shall be for meat.”
For the Deckers, it’s clear what that verse means, and there’s nothing cryptic about it, for them.
