SCRIPTURES & ART: God lets the wheat and tares co-exist, but not indefinitely. There is a moment of judging and separating. There is a heaven. And there is a hell.
COMMENTARY: Applying our knowledge from the doctrine of original sin, the Parable of the Wheat and Tares, and the Great Commandment of love of neighbor can go a long way in repairing the damage.
