Mat 13:
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.’”
Can't god overpower this enemy and put morality in all of us? Why is he letting someone mess with his creation?
The parable seems to suggest God has been outwitted/circumnavigated.
Why would God want to over power his enemy?
Do you not understand the point of spreading the gain is to test, sift and harvest the grain?
How can God test the grain if not by forcing it to go though trials? how can the grain be tested if it grows with out contest?
When we grow we want bigger yield bigger fruit for less effort.
When God grows He want stronger grain. More resilient to drought, or over watering due to a storm or reduced exposure to the sun due to a chocking weed.
