A further question is how does deracinating tares also deracinate wheat?
If it was a case of false Christians being killed, I think it would be very positive. After all we are not to be yoked with unbelievers, and we should shun false doctrine.
Conversely if all deceptive bibles were destroyed, it could have an adverse affect, because a very bad bible still contains the witness of Christ, and some measure of the gospel.

Positive?
How is positive?
Because they are removed without any further hope?
oh wait, they will be raised up as all in the graves will at the endtimes to be judged
Howver, what would be more positive is that with time, with seed and water, and HIS tilling the soul of their heart, they might be converted
That is more positive

Yes. I didn't want to "like" your post. It just didn't seem right ro
But yes, I agree with you.
just as the scripture clearly states in both John 5 and Revelation 20
after the 1000 year reign
and after Satan is let loose (once again) to deceive and to gather the "supposed "kings" of the earth" for the great battle

What is with the "pretender and contender" It is what Jesus Tells us...All one has to do is read it as a young Child would read "See Jane RUN".
I think you Joefizz simply wants to argue. It is ok to argue with me or others on this forum over something that is NOT already defined but to argue with WHO.....WHO.....Jesus...then Jesus wins every time and it makes those who argue against His WORDS look like FOOLs.....

Depends what you mean.
When Jesus had finished he asked the disciples:
(51 Jesus saith unto them), Have ye understood all these things?
thereby indicating that all the parables here form a collective whole, so you cannot just take these parables in isolation. (Well you can, but you will miss the full picture).
When you read them alongside each other, then it gets more interesting still.
(In a sense all the parables about the Kingdom of heaven also form a collective picture, but that is not quite what I am saying here; here Jesus gives various seed parables, and these form a collective whole, along with the other two parables here).

I don't know why this causes so much hostility. I kind of thought it was obvious:
Matthew 22 22 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables
I am simply applying the same logic to parables as we apply to scripture, by seeing all the parables as a whole, as a body of thought, a kind of meta scripture, and then cross referencing within the parables.
