1. Tares are sinners that fully acknowledge their need for God's grace in Jesus Christ? . . . or . . .
2. Tares are self righteous Pharisees who "thank God they're not like other people"?

Hint: Luke 18:9-14
No one would argue the Pharisees or Sadducees, and many more falling under the category of either self righteouesness or licentiousness the apostles go into children of God and of the devil and doing rigjteousness and loving your brother.

There is no difference between a sinner and a pharisee with the exception that the pharisee feels he is unlike other men, both are sinners the prostitutes and publicans just repented of their sins (in the one direction) and the Pharisees needed to repent of their confidence in their own righteouessnes by the law, which would never justify them

And Christians never commit immoral acts and still remain Christians ?
And many non-Christians do not lead more moral lives than some Christians ?

Sorry. Can't agree.
And Scripture would disagree with you. For it says we used to live sinfully in our past lives as unbelievers, but we are not that way anymore.

"For we ourselves also were once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another." (TItus 3:3).

"Thorns and snares are in the path of the wicked:
whoever guards his soul stays from them." (Proverbs 22:5).

And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will (2 Timothy 2:26).

"Once you were alienated from God and you were enemies with him in your minds, which was shown by your evil actions." (Colossians 1:21).

"For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;" (1 Thessalonians 1:9).

"
We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loves not his brother abides in death. Whosoever hates his brother is a murderer: and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him." (1 John 3:14-15).

"
And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in wickedness" (1 John 5:19).

"
In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever does not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loves not his brother." (1 John 3:10).

"
For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do--living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry." (1 Peter 4:3).

"
Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them." (Colossians 3:5-7).

"But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger" (Romans 2:8).

"
As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance," (1 Peter 1:14).

"He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathers not with me scatters abroad" (Matthew 12:30).

"He that rejects me, and receives not my words, has one that judges him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day." (John 12:48).

"But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you." (Romans 6:17).

"Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God." (1 Corinthians 6:9-11).

Apples and oranges. I'm glorifying God; you're mocking His children.

If you can't understand that then there's no hope for you whatsoever.

I am not an animal whisperer so I dont know which has their righteouesness of themselves of Moses but it was between two pictures the cat with dogs or the aligators and whatever that other is here (below) I just liked the cat picture

I posted a cat and dogs and it was not appreciated and I showed the other picture the come up in a google search on that psalm (which was of aligators and something I could not identify) Ken identified it for me, that it was a goat, I said how dumb do I feel I have goats

My sister with my goats

View attachment 122067


I dont know who is doing this Freud slippin thing but I really have goats
I'm confused....on the one hand you don't know what a goat is and on the other you're a big goat fan. I guess I'm not sure how to tie that together. What I think really happened is that you didn't notice the irony....just like a few other ironic things that escape your sphere of recognition.

Don't take the internet tranasctions that you set into motion as a personal attack..IT only shows insecurity on YOUR part. Expect rebuttals and comments that do not necessarily reflect what you believe. Such is the world of cyber space. Stay focused on CHRIST, period..who needs all this "more accusations and personal attacks? IT gets you nowhere. Better to be silent and thought a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt.

You said you are a sinner and you do sinful things and yet also believe you can do God's work, too. You said, I quote,

"I LOVE THE LORD IMMENSELY!!!! . . . but I am a sinner.

I get mad when people flagrantly cut me off, I appreciate a woman's femininity, I would kill in order to protect innocence, and there are a multitude of other sins for which I have been, am now, and will be guilty of in the future. I love God, worship Him, honor Him, glorify Him, serve Him, repent to Him, attempt to emulate Him, have faith in ONLY HIM. Sin does not have dominion over me but I am a sinner nonetheless. But I am a loved and forgiven sinner at that!""

How can you hold anyone to any moral standard of goodness if you do not even uphold such a standard of goodness or morality yourself? You also said that sin shall not have dominion over you, yet you then contradict yourself and say you are a sinner. Now, lets understand something here. When a person does not have sin having dominion over them, that means they have stopped sinning (Because it does not control or have dominion over them anymore). This is what the Lord calls for all of us to acheive. Jesus said be ye perfect as your Heavenly Father is perfect.

How is it your job to hold someone to that which you perceive as God's standard? Is that in line with not trusting anyone that doesn't have the same view as you?

Never said it was my standard. God's Word is the standard; Hence, why I use Scripture. Also, Jesus used real world examples (parables) to illustrate spiritual truth. OSAS cannot be illustrated using a real world example.
