The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou that we go and gather them up? But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. — Matthew 3:11-12

The Lord sows good seed, and the devil is busy sowing his counterfeit. It can be hard to tell a tare from wheat. An immature Christian can be mistaken for a tare, so we have to be careful. Often times I am convinced, based on behavior, that I am seeing a tare in our midst, and chances are I am right, but only the Lord knows for sure, and He will do the separating at the judgment.

Even as a babe , I was not mistaken as a tare . A tare loves not Christ and this can be seen . A babe will still have the HOLYGHOST , and though they may not know what they will , THAT HOLY GHOST has their heart ON the LOVE OF TOTAL TRUTH and TRUTH ALONE . I speak by experience . Let me give an example some do and say and when they say it , I KNOW THEY are wrong. How often have we heard , you cant be too grave or you might scare off a babe , or etc. NOT TRUE . Its not true at all . Every word I heard , read , just edified me . I don't know how to put this into words . but a babe , even as infant as I was , JUST HAS THE DESIRE FOR PURE TRUTH . By grace the LORD put me in one book . SO it is true that I did learn in that book . But even as a babe when I visited churches , they were so empty at doctrine time . The LORD really does GUIDE the sheep . I cant take one ounce of credit for it . IT was GOD that put that desire in my heart and into the bible , and as I read , it only increased and I was fat and happy in JUST the bible . What you mean to say is , Lets say we walk into a grocery store and see someone talking on a phone , and maybe they got upset and got angry . And we just walk by and assume , OH they must not be a christain . NOW THAT is what we DO NOT DO . Because they might be , and yes they are in error and then later might repent real fast and even call that person back saying how sorry they are . NOW , if you are talking to one , and they just ripping it out and eyes are all over the place looking at half dressed women Talking bout parties and all that . YEAH , IT DONT TAKE LONG to discern . But to just assume someone is not a christain because of a glance or quick look , NO . One can always discern , IF the LORD IS WITH THEM , they sure can discern . Its quite easy to tell the difference between a christain in error , and someone who claims to be christain in error . But there is no way even a babe would be seen as a tare , if we truly have the eyes and ears to hear . A tare can trick folks into thinking they a christain . YOU BET . But a real babe in Christ , looks nothing like a tare . WHEN GOD changed me , the DESIRE was ONE fast CHANGE of heart and mind . A total flip around . Its knowledge , wisdom and understanding , THAT COME LATER . BUT THE HEART and MIND CHANGE for a whole new desire ,that is put in the heart asap .

Let me reword something . WHEN I said a tare can trick folks into believing he is a christain . NOT FOR VERY LONG THEY CANT . Let me explain that . Once I was reading something so accurate . So accurate . YET , yet .........their was a stirring inside me that something is not right . Well it was not with the article , because the article was all TRUTH . Yet I kept receiving this feeling SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT . WELL when I went through the SITE , I FOUND OUT REAL fast WHAT WAS NOT RIGHT , THEY PROMOTED NEW AGE BOOKS MAN . GOD IS WITH THE SHEEP . HE is with HIS OWN . And their is such a thing as Spiritual discernment of spirits . The reason most folks are so easily deceived , is because they are hermes men wise . Oh they got some head knowledge of the bible and they know some scrips , BUT their mind is as carnal as it ever was . The only difference is , they got religion , they got the mindset ITS JESUS they follow , but nope , its men . its men . its men . What makes us wise unto salvation through our faith in Christ , UNADULTERATED BIBLE DOCTRINE . and by unadulterated , I MEAN not scripture WITH MENS INTERPEATION of what THEY THINK IT SHOULD MEAN OR SAY . The call has been what . What has been the simple call, that by grace I have made FOR YEARS . ANd for YEARS it goes largely unheard . GO BACK INTO ONLY BIBLES . ONLY BIBLES , ONLY BIBLES . Folks , things would be cleared up SO FAST .

Plus intenet witnessing etc , can be harder . That is true . We don't know the person we are talking too . And many can seem christain but indeed are not . NOW the fruits will surface , but it might take a wee bit longer . The general mindset should be , I don't judge squat till I have heard and seen their responses . And what I do judge is DO THEY LOVE JESUS , OR DO they TWIST HIS SAYINGS . I know some folks believe mid , pre or post trib . I don't worry too much about that . BUT SIN is a whole nother story . See , if we have the HOLY GHOST and have learned those scrips . And lets face it , IF WE are HIS , HE WILL PUT US IN THE BIBLE , WE WILL HUNGER FOR IT . HE DOES that . IF we have the HOLY GHOST and have been in that BIBLE , It don't take long to get well learned in JESUS sayings and the apostels either . If a man has been following JESUS and says I have been a christain for twenty years , YET THEY OMIT and cannot grasp the simplicity of what the letters paul , jude , or others wrote , BUT rather twist , twist , twist to fit a teaching of men , WHAT HAPPENED in their walk IS MY QUESTION . Because a lamb WILL BE LED TO TRUTH . They have THE LOVE of the TRUTH on that heart . Its true , by grace , I read the bible a whole whole lot and still do . Not all read it that much , BUT after years and year , YEAH they SHOULD have known ALREADY . When that occurs , sometimes the simple saying , YE have need that one teach ye again comes to mind , BUT often its , LOOK OUT we got us a WOLF . WE got us a wolf . because a christain that is HIS , GETS convicted But a wolf JUSTIFIES .

The devil has been hard at work sowing tares in the church world, including many message boards. I hope you all will be diligent to be on the lookout for them here. I think Frienduff is right, that you can usually recognize the tares, but there are some times I am not completely sure. It may be that I know they are tares on the inside, but am wanting to believe I am wrong.

We do keep a watch on what is going on here, but figuring out if a person is a tare as opposed to a carnal Christian can be a challenge for me. Sometimes you are dealing with a person who is deceived because they happen to attend a church with false teachers. They will show up repeating the lies they have heard. There does come a point where it becomes apparent you are dealing with a tare, but Jesus himself warned us that we can pull up wheat by mistake if we are not careful.

He that sowed the good seed is the Son of man; 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.

I wish Jesus explained all the parables. It would help, but Jesus didn't intend for everyone to know these secrets about the Kingdom of God.

Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not; neither do they understand. And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

and their ears are dull of hearing
BUTERO............................O Butero . WHERE ELSE do we hear this language . IN Hebrews , For ye are dull of hearing Remember , paul goes on to say that by this time they should have BEEN teachers , BUT instead they have need that one teach them . I watched a video today . it fits in with the other one I sent you all . I will send it too . There is no doubt in my mind WHY GOD PULLED US OUT OF MAINSTREAM CHURCHES . NO DOUBT . THEY , HAVE BEEN BADLY INFILTRATED and getting worse all the time and much faster . There is no man alive that could persuade me , we are not in days like lotts and that we are not witnessing a massive , THE MASSIVE falling away viraling out of control now . VIRLAING OUT OF TOTAL CONTROL . The fruits are really ripening in the bud now . WHICH MEANS what I say to one , I say to all, WATCH . WATCH and BE READY and PRAY that none does enter into temptation .

I’m convinced that if the body of Christ had gotten its act together, come to maturity, and reached the fullness of knowledge in Christ, more would be revealed to us, including the meaning of all parables. What we consider the meat of the word is still pretty much baby food in the big scheme of things. We won’t get past it until the body matures.
