26But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
27So 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?
28He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
shall we kill the tares ?
29But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
no let them live - your bombs may hit my followers
30Let 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.
direct command to let them grow and then let god reap them
38The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
39The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. 40As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
so christ would have said yes go gather those tares and burn them whenever you see them. but he didnt - he said let them grow.
and the harvest is not till the end of the world - so no early harvest -- and the angels are the reapers not man
but many will tell you they are the reapers - and that they are to pluck the tares from the ground early.
(sorry I needed a chuckle) still I don't see that it says to NOT tend the wheat. Any field with wheat and weeds left alone will not yield a harvest I assure you, (Jayhawk is not in my name for no reason
