The Wheat and Tares and the Ten Virgins: The Overlooked Parables of Jesus

By James Elliott

The Wheat and Tares and the Ten Virgins are two parables that are not often talked about by theologians, bishops, and the fivefold ministry of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers. And this is due in part, in my opinion, because there is an obscurity as to who are the tares and the five foolish virgins in those parables that the Lord Jesus is referring to, who are not only in the world, but also who call the Lord Jesus as their Savior.

So, the tares that I’m going to put a spotlight on are those preachers and false teachers of God's word be they called Pastor, Bishop, Apostle, Elder, Father, Minister, Reverend, Dr. Reverend, Reverend Dr, whatever title these tare preachers and false teachers of God’s word prefer. And of the doctrines the devils that have been sown, through them, into the body of Christ, as well as who are the five foolish virgins out of the Ten who got left behind.

Denominations that

Support LGBT Ministers

and Preachers

While it is having been recorded in history how the Devil, in the latter half of the 20th into the 21st century has opened the door for unrepentant gay priests into the Catholic Church, who in turn sexually assaulted teenage altar boys.

The Devil, at the same time, has been placing his so called ministers of righteousness (2 Corinthians 11:15) into positions of leadership in protestant denominations to not only to promote the acceptance and inclusion of unrepentant LGBT members sinning against God into the body of Christ, but to offer various talking points to defend their position. So, I am going to do two things which are, first cite the Protestant denominations and ministries who promoted unrepentant LGBT members into positions of leadership, and the second is to include all of the denominations and ministries who have brought up various talking points for those denominations and ministries reasons for doing so.

On November 2, 2003, the Episcopal Church consecrated openly gay Gene Robinson as the Bishop of New Hampshire. And as recently as July of 2018 the Episcopal Church removed restrictions on same-sex marriage, a move that allows all couples to wed where they worship, even if their bishop disapprove¹.

In March of 2015, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) announced a change in its constitution that embraced a more inclusive definition of marriage, defining it as being between two people instead of between a man and a woman. With this change, PC (USA) becomes the largest

Protestant group to offer a nationwide welcome for LGBTQ couples. That allowed the Rev. Kaci Clark-Porter and the Rev. Holly Clark-Porter to walk down the aisle at Wilmington, Delaware’s First and Central Presbyterian Church to become ordained Christian ministers².

On July 15, 2016, the United Methodist Church’s (UMC) Western Jurisdiction unanimously elected the denomination’s first openly lesbian bishop the Rev. Karen Oliveto, senior pastor of Glide Memorial Church in San Francisco³. The United Methodist highest court in April 2017 nullified the Western Jurisdiction consecration⁴.

On November 2017 Joy Everingham became the Methodist Church first transgender appointed as a minister in the church with the church’s knowledge⁵.

And on February 2018 the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) celebrated the transition of St. Matthew Trinity Lutheran Church in Hoboken New Jersey pastor from female to male whose birth name is Rose, but she now goes by the name of Peter Beeson⁶.

The question arises, how can you be a minister or pastor, but think that our Most High God made a mistake when He created you, all the while knowing that the scripture says that the Lord had formed them while they were in the womb (Jeremiah 1:5). So that minister or pastor feels the need to correct how the Lord God created them through hormone therapy and genital reconstructive surgery?

And it must be said that those Christians who are confused about their biological reality cannot lay the source of their confusion at the feet of the Lord. Because the word of God clearly says that He is not the author of confusion (1 Corinthians 14:33). So, for those churches with families that have children that this minister and pastor preside over, the one thing that’s certain is that confusion is going to reign supreme.

Now the Denominations that support the LGBT in ministry have offered several talking points to justify their inclusion into the ministry and they are that the LGBT were born this way, the LGBT view of Sodom, the Holiness code being obsolete, the Lord Jesus not saying one word about homosexuality during His ministry, and the writing of Paul against homosexuality. And what I’m going to do is go through each of these talking points and show how they go astray from the word of God.

LGBT Were Born This Way

Ministries that support gay and lesbian Christians who believe that they’re born with same sex attraction are saying that our Most High God created them, since he is the giver of life (Genesis 2:7), with their desire for the same sex (i.e., The Lord instilled in gay and lesbians a gay gene). The reason why this belief is absolutely untrue is because the word of God says in James 1:13-15 "Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: but every man is tempted when he is drawn away of his own lust and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

The Lord did not instill in them, when gay and lesbian Christians were conceived, with their desires for the same sex. Because had He did then the Lord our God would have sinned himself by creating men and women to have the desire to violate his own commandments (James 1:13).

And on August 29, 2019, in a new study published in Science involving the genomes of nearly 500,000 people in search for the single gene that causes homosexual behavior. There findings shore up the results of earlier, smaller studies and confirm the suspicions of many scientists: while sexual preferences have a genetic component (Translation: scientists have identified five DNA markers associated with sexual behavior, but none with the power to predict the sexuality of an individual), no single gene has a large effect on sexual behaviors (i.e., homosexuality amid all sexual behaviors, adultery, fornication, bigamy, polygamy, etc... is a choice).

There is no ‘gay gene’, says lead study author Andrea Ganna, a geneticist at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard in Cambridge, Massachusetts⁷.

This study’s findings, is again, proven in what written in the book of James 1:13 in that our most High God doesn’t tempt any man or woman to sin against him (i.e., The Lord instilling in a man and woman a gay gene). But he or she is tempted when they are driven by their own lust and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

And the same thing applies to men and women who suffer from transgenderism in that the Lord did not instill in them while they were in the womb with their desire to covet to live their lives as the opposite gender. Because had the Lord did, then again, He would have sinned Himself by violating not one, but two of His commandments (Exodus 20:17; Deuteronomy 22:5) for mankind to obey, as well as, what’s written by not only in James 1:13, but 1 Corinthians 6:9.

In the book of 1 Corinthians 6:9, the Apostle Paul under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit (2 Timothy 3:16) wrote "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind…."

Men and women who call themselves Christians that suffer from transgenderism, beginning from the latter half of the 20th century until the present, if those men and women want to follow through with their lust of the flesh commitment (1 John 2:16) to live their lives as the opposite sex, will become abusers of themselves with mankind by men taking estrogen pills to grow breasts and obtain a high pitch feminine voice. And have surgery performed on them to mutilate their genitals by having their penis (save the skin which is surgically fashioned into a clitoris) amputated⁸. Also, one or both testicles are amputated, and their scrotum is surgically fashioned into a vagina⁹.

And women can take testosterone pills to grow a beard, obtain male pattern baldness, and have a deeper manly voice. And have surgery performed on them to get a double mastectomy and an add-a-dick-to-me.

Men and women who suffer from transgenderism try to rely on science, whom the Lord had increased the knowledge of in the last days (Daniel 12:4), that mankind who are working in the field of study of psychology and psychiatry have perverted, to justify their feelings of thinking they’re the opposite sex, rather than the source of all knowledge, our Lord God almighty, whose understanding is infinite (Psalm 147:5). However, this must be said about men and women who suffer from transgenderism and their reliance on science to justify believing that they are the opposite sex from which they were born.

A science that promotes the idea, not reality, but the idea that men can be women and vice versa. That gender is a social construct, rather than a biological reality. That transgenderism is 100% biological in nature, rather than 100% coveting in their desire. That field of study shows its adherence to science to be situational at best to downright untrue overall. And it must be also said that it is a fact that there is absolutely no difference between transgenders and trans species¹⁰, transageism¹¹, transableism¹², and transracial¹³, in that all these trans are coveting to be something that they’re not (Colossians 3:5).

In the book of 2 Thessalonians 2:11 the Apostle Paul writes And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie. There is no stronger delusion, in my opinion, than for a man to think he’s a woman and vice versa. Or a man who identifies as a female and a dragon lizard or a six year old girl. Or a biological white man and woman, such as Shaun King and Rachel Dolezal, who identifies as being black!

The LGBT and Supporters

View of Sodom

The city of Sodom, along with the cities of Gomorrah, Admar, and Zeboim were all destroyed by the Lord for the wicked offenses that those cities inhabitants were committing in the full site of the Lord in Heaven. And even before the Lord destroyed the city of Sodom after Lot was led out of the city (Genesis 19:29), God’s word testified of Sodom in the book of Genesis 13:13 that the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the Lord exceedingly.

And that when the Lord of heaven and earth let Abraham know his intentions of destroying the city of Sodom where his nephew Lot was staying, Abraham bravely bartered the Lord down to if there be at least 10 righteous people that reside in Sodom the Lord promised that He would not destroy Sodom for the 10 righteous sake. Now that left Lot and his wife, Lot two daughters and his sons in law. Now that is only six people, four less of the ten that the Lord said that he would not destroy Sodom for. So, Sodom had to be a place where wickedness reigned supreme.

In the book of Genesis 19:1-5 God’s word says that "There came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground. And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant’s house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night. And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.

But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter: And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them."

Now the talking points that LGBT Christians have used in reference to the men of Sodom, who surrounded Lot’s home wanting to know (i.e., rape) the two angels that came into Lot home is that this was not about homosexuality, but about hatred of foreigners¹⁴ and the men of Sodom wanted to have power over the angels that came into Lot’s home and make them feel like a woman¹⁵.

To the first point if it be the case that the men of Sodom wanted to rape the two angels who came into Lot’s home was because of a hatred of foreigners, then why doesn’t the word of God show Lot, who was a foreigner of Sodom (Genesis 19:9), wanting to know him when he pitched his tent and called Sodom his home?

And to the second point is that anytime a man only sexual desire is to penetrate another male, whether or not it be by rape, that’s still homosexuality that the Lord condemns as an abomination unto Him in Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13.

When Lot tried to offer the men of Sodom, who surrounded his house, his two virgin daughters to do with them as they wanted. But those men got upset and threatened to deal worst with Lot (Genesis 19:9) and pressed forward to break the door down to get at the angels so they can rape them.

And those men that surrounded Lot home were so determined
