God’s word doesn’t teach the tares are saved so that would be impossible unless you want to claim God lies. Do you see where this is going?

All things are possible with God, including preterism.

Right, we know it’s possible for God to call a tare someone He already knows will never accept Him. If a tare did become saved then that would make God a liar because He already said a tare was someone who would never accept Him. Do you think it’s possible for God to lie?

But then you have to claim it’s impossible for God to call someone a tare that He already knows will never accept Him. All things are possible so you contradict yourself.

I agree not everyone is in the kingdom of God. Here’s how I see it … If there was a harvest in 70AD then you can have chief priest and Pharisees being removed at that time. Interestingly enough they are also said to be of their father the devil in John 8:44 and the tares are called children of...

I agree, and since in reality a tare weed never becomes wheat in a farmers field, it would seem best to say the parable should be understood from God’s perspective. Here’s another problem to consider though, in Matthew 13:39-42 at the harvest the angels gather the tares out of His kingdom and...

I agree, it’s not really an all or none situation. Let’s take a drunkard for example. They are on the 1 Corinthians 5 list to be excommunicated but if a person is putting forth effort to stay away from alcohol and has shame and remorse over their chemical addiction then the church should also...

You bring up a good point, in Matthew 13:38 it says the field is the world. In Matthew 13:24 it says a man sowed seed in His field. Then in Matthew 13:37 it says He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man. So if we conclude that the field is the whole entire world then the whole entire...

Right, and that is the end result of saying tares should continue in the church instead of excommunicating them as the Bible says should happen.

1 Corinthians 5:10-11 gives a list of reasons for excommunicating a person from the church. It is Biblical to excommunicate a tare.

I asked about your church, if your church truly believes tares are to grow along side the wheat then your church should allow just anyone to become a member. Is that the case in your church? I can tell you this, I’ve never been to a church that didn’t have a statement of faith that they required...

If Hitler was a proven tare then Christians should be in agreement that Hitler should’ve been allowed to continue his campaign and grow with us, without interference from Christians.

So just anyone can join your church? An unrepentant openly drunkard can become a church member? How about an atheist? Can a group of them join your church and be allowed to have discussions with other members about why God doesn’t exist?

He’s not rooting for some to be unsaved but it’s not impossible for God to call a group of people tares that He knows will never accept Jesus as savior. And since that is a possibility claiming all things are possible with God has no bearing on the parable. I do accept that. I just don’t call...

What about allowing tares to grow with wheat? What does that mean? I wouldn’t think that means allowing unrepentant tares to join a church.

So you are saying it’s impossible for God to call a group of people tares that He knows will never accept Jesus as savior? I thought all things are possible with God.

Hebrews 6:18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: Since all things are possible with God, we know it’s possible to have a scenario where a tare will never be...

Yea, absolutely. Also I looked at all the parables this morning and non of the other parables are interpreted using an untrue physical reality. The parable of the tares would be the only place that I can find where a parable might be interpreted that way.

Right, but you have the tares being allowed to “grow together” <4885> to grow together, increase together. Where does Paul allow the 1 Corinthians 5:11 list to increase together with believers? Answer, nowhere. We are to be separated from them.

Here’s what Paul has to say … 1 Corinthians 5:10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. 11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a...
