Subject: Can tares become Christians? |
Bible Note: Hi CDBJ, Thanks for answering my questions. I enjoyed your poem. Actually I read it from another posting. Some follow up questions for all forum participants are: Do you think it is reasonable to assume that the wheat being God's chosen people and the tares doomed people? From the parable I sense that we cannot do a whole lot about the tares except being aware of them (being harmful). Do you think it is reasonable to believe that we have tares in our churches? Actually this question does not help individual church as we start questioning our fellow believers (i.e. Is my elder a tare?) Is it possible that perhaps the tares are not aware of themselves of what they are? These folks might have been hypnotized or brainwashed and think they are serving the true living God. iktoose |
