What if God sowed the earth with His seed, and satan sowed the world with his, and God simply let the two grow together till the final harvest, where then they would be separated?
God is funny about sowing multiple varieties together.
Really.
Leviticus somewhere.
He really is a touchy mother fucker. Figured you'd be up to speed on that . .
I figured most of you would be able to recognize the parable of the weeds Jesus told in Mat 13.
Matthew 13New International Version (NIV)
The Parable of the Weeds
24 Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25 But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. 26 When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared.
27 “The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’
28 “‘An enemy did this,’ he replied.
“The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’
29 “‘No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are pulling the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.’”
