The Gathering and Burning of the Tares Is To Be Celebrated As God´s Will.

When God gathers up and burns the evil ones and those filled with abominations, we as Christians are to celebrate, because it is God´s Will.  Just as Jesus spoke of this in Matthew 13, we are not to take our own vengeance out on the unrighteous, since only God knows who is to be burned in the final judgment day.  Nevertheless, it is a great and beautiful celebration.  We are chosen to be among the saved, because we believe in Jesus Christ, sought out the mercy of God, and gave up our sins willingly.  God in his merciful goodness, directs his benevolent love toward the righteous, and He saves us from the evil that wants to destroy all who follow Jesus Christ.  Christians are not of this world, not a part of the evil that hates God, and not of the abominations that have stolen the souls of the wicked.  Since you already know about their ultimate destruction, it would be wise to separate from what God hates.  You now already know and are aware of the mystery of the Kingdom of God, that those without should not even be converted and their sins never forgiven.  If they give up their sins willingly and seek God´s mercy then that is between them and God.   .  

Matthew 13:24 - 13:30

24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:

25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.

26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.

27 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?

28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?

29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.

30 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.

John 15:17 - 15:19

17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.

18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

Mark 4:11 - 4:12

11 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:

12 That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.
