My view is that the seed was the word of God, in a different parable, in Luke 8:11, the seed is the word of God. So the seed (word of God) that was sown by the Son of man only produces wheat. Satan sowed a false gospel that only produces tares.

The wheat was sown first then the tares. Who’s the wheat if everybody was a tare at one time?

Thanks for looking at the Greek on the word “sowing” I’ll update my notes on that so I can be more accurate the next time. I think so. 1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of...

Yes, I absolutely agree a tare can’t become wheat in reality and that should be the context in which we examine the parable. Some of my thoughts were that the enemy sowed the tares when men slept is when John 9:4 takes place. John 9:4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is...

That’s a good question and I think @PinSeeker gave a good answer that I agree with. There is something that maybe you can give your thoughts on … I think we would all agree that Satan can’t create the seeds or tares that he sowed. Satan can certainly produce lies and false doctrine to deceive...

Interesting what ChatGPT said. In 1 Corinthians 15:54 it says this mortal must put on immortality. The word “must put on” is <1746> which means … The verb ἐνδύω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of putting on clothing or being clothed. It is often used metaphorically to...

Perhaps it could be understood as immortality is living forever vs being cast into the LOF is dying forever. Both exist forever but only one is considered immortal.

Excellent. I’ve looked at this myself and here’s my take on it … The fullness of the Gentiles, which coincides with the times of the Gentiles, should be looked at beginning with the times of the Jews. The Jewish kingdom began at Sinai, when the Shekinah glory dwelt in the Tabernacle and later...

Ok, if I have your view correct then … Satan sows the tares, the tares have a choice, but from the moment they are sowed it is known that they never will choose to repent. Wouldn’t that mean Satan does have the power of death? Satan has a choice as whether he sows tare seeds or not, so if...

If a tare has a choice then a tare can be saved, right?

Yes, that’s why the idea of this parable being written from God’s perspective gets brought up. From God’s perspective He knows ahead of time who is or isn’t saved and that knowledge doesn’t change. So it is reasonable to say the parable is written from God’s perspective. But if we continue with...

Alright, if your church wouldn’t tolerate a Calvinist then a Calvinist isn’t a tare, right? Tares are people who are allowed to grow along side the wheat.

If someone were to attend services at my church and start trying to convince others that God doesn’t exist, that person wouldn’t be allowed to “grow” with the wheat, they would be asked to leave. If that same person were to attend the church you go to, would that person (tare) be allowed to grow...

At least you are being consistent. Although I think that’s a tough position to defend and I doubt too many unbelievers would even tolerate the view that Hitler should’ve been allow to continue on. I would say most people will find it extremely offensive. I certainly wouldn’t include that when...

Ok, I agree that a tare can’t be saved. This would also mean that Satan still has the power of death and is able to keep people (tares) in darkness. Do you think Satan is bound from the power of death and bound from keeping people in darkness?

Nope, I don’t agree with your hermeneutics so why would I want to try to see your opinion? We would have to agree on how the Bible should interpreted first before we can go any further. I have repeated exactly what you said in another post and you give me the same treatment. I think it’s best...

From God’s perspective only He knows who is or isn’t a tare and from God’s perspective tares should not be pulled or killed by anyone or any angel lest wheat is pulled or killed also. Why would any Christian not want to do the will of God? If it’s God’s will that a person like Hitler be allowed...

Well clearly Jesus calls believing a work. So salvation has to come first else its a works gospel. Oh, and don’t tell me what my doctrine is, I’ll tell you. That’s how we are supposed to treat each other, right?

John 9:3Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. 4I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. 5As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. These...

Ok, so per your view there are no goats or tares in the millennium or Satan’s little season? They all got separated and removed at the second coming? I’m not arguing against that view, I just want to make sure I understand it.
