You substituted "tares" for "goats". While on the surface it looks they are identical, the salvation of the wheat is not dependent on their acting in love but believing on the Lord Jesus Christ. The wheat are genuine Christians, while the tares are merely professors or false Christians.
Now notice what is said in Matthew 25:32: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: So this is not about individual believers but about NATIONS and how they treated Christians. But the parable is enigmatic in that it appears to make salvation dependent upon good works. However justification is by grace through faith and not of works lest any man should boast. So this has to be interpreted in that light.
Therefore John Gill has this comment which makes sense: Yet Christian professors seem only here intended, as the following distinction of them, their final state, and the reasons of it show... but then the judge, who is of quick understanding, will easily discern the one from the other; such as have the oil of grace in the vessels of their hearts, together with their lamps, from such as have only the outward visible lamp of a profession, but destitute of the grace of God;
There are many who identify themselves as "Christians" but have not experienced the New Birth. And unless a man is born again he cannot enter nor see the Kingdom of God.
it’s just repetetive teaching about judgement day and the truth that we’re going to be judged on what we actually do . it’s the same throughout the Bible .
“The wheat are genuine Christians, while the tares are merely professors or false Christians.”
right. you see how your saying “ the tares are merely professors or false Christian’s “
What defines these categories you’re talking about ?
What they actually do right ?
the ones your calling “false Christian’s “
are the ones who don’t repent and do good they are workers of iniquity servants of the devil his children
“
In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil:
whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.”
1 John 3:10
“the field is the world;
the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; the enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; and shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.”
Matthew 13:38-43
It’s just an image of judgement day when Jesus returns to judge the world in righteousness but the real version not the modern day version people invented
It’s repetetively taught each adding some other detail but the judgement remains exactly the same
If your saying “ real Christian’s repent and o ey the lord they love other people in deed and truth “
And “ false Christian’s” go on serving the devils Will by thier works . Then we would agree.
It’s a parable that’s talking about this same judgement
“
Who will render to every man according to his deeds: to them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: ( children of the kingdom )
but
unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, ( devils children ) of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;”
Romans 2:6-9 KJV
It’s the same every time
“When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: Then shall the
King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world children of the kingdom )
for I was an hungred, and
ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and
ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and
ye took me in: naked, and
ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and
ye came unto me. And
the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.”
Matthew 25:31, 34-36, 40 KJV
note it’s all about
what they did loving others
“Then shall he say also unto
them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: ( children of the devil )
Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you,
Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. And
these shall go away into everlasting punishment:
but
the righteous into life eternal.”
Matthew 25:41, 45-46
The whole doctrine about no one’s going to have to answer for our deeds or that’s not how god is ect ect is all flawed the judgement is laid plan and bare for all to know and it is true Jesus doesn’t tell lies or make up stories
Your right there’s a slight difference it is because , each time adds more details of the same thing that’s really how the entire Bible works it’s called “ apocalyptic literature “
Yhe same spirit was talking about the same things from the beginning I could wuote fofteen different sections of scriptire that teaches the exact same eternal judgement
when your saying “ not real Christian’s or professors only “ what your saying is
faith without works is dead being alone
