Wheat and tares look almost identical while they're growing. You can't tell the difference between them until it is harvest time and you can see the fruitful grains of wheat on the stalk.
This is why you can't pull out the tares early -- you'd risk destroying the wheat, too.
Analogous to what’s going on now - by setting up the scenes so that, for example, the terrorist BLM flag is flown at our embassies, the B- and C-level DS scum and general marxist sympathizers feel empowered to show their true, ugly selves, clearly showing the disparity between themselves and real God-loving, country-loving, family-loving, patriotic Americans. When the time comes, marxist, anti-American trash can be easily identified and removed.
Almost as if the FATHER uses metaphors to educate the souls of men... ?
In all seriousness though, yes. God/Word(Jesus) is the Alpha and the Omega. What dont the heatherns understand? Peace and Grace and praise The LORD. <33
I agree, been reading this parable over and over again, and it's the only thing that makes sense. so amazing to see it happen, makes it hard to focus on the regular world...
There is evil because man sinned and fell, and God, in His unspeakable love and mercy, rather than justly ending humanity then and there, chose instead to endure us and our evil works for a season while He graciously gathered in those He elected to salvation for His own glory and the glory of Jesus Christ.
Some people are like wheat, all good and everything, some like tares, not good. They will be separated at the end! Basically you can’t always tell which is which, but God knows!
People have free will and some people do bad things. If we want a good world, we must fight for good and choose to serve God. God gave us the dominion over the earth, it is ours to rule. Will we rule with or without God is the question though. God is the measuring rod for right. When we redefine good and evil on our own we get in trouble.

nobody is redefing anything. God is finding the people that are doing bad things, to the ENTIRE PLANET. You can't do that. And obviously He needs our help by fighting for good and serving God.
Man was given free will and chose to sin. The wages of sin is death. God is perfect and cannot coexist with sin. Christ came down here to offer himself as the ultimate sacrifice for our sins, giving us the ability to be right with God. We must choose to believe in Him and accept his free gift.
Because Jesus said his plans through interesting, non-straightforward ways (parables) so that people would talk about them and question them, just like we’re doing right now! Always question everything, and after a lot of question answering the answer seems to always be ‘Jesus is right’.
Fun fact:

God is completely in control. Trust in Him. Accept His Son Jesus. And whatever you do, stop watching TV.
Way ahead of you buddy :)

it's tough rn

It's worth reading Mathew 13: 36-43. It helps explain the parable further.

you yourself just said

I’m not quite sure what you are saying.
I was answering the question “why is there evil...?”
We overcome evil when we are individually transformed by God’s character and fight with Him against spiritual evil.
Man was given free will and chose to sin. The wages of sin is death. God is perfect and cannot coexist with sin. Christ came down here to offer himself as the ultimate sacrifice for our sins, giving us the ability to be right with God. We must choose to believe in Him and accept his free gift.
Hmm, smart.
If your a Godly person, why would you question his decision or plan for us?
Because Jesus said his plans through interesting, non-straightforward ways (parables) so that people would talk about them and question them, just like we’re doing right now! Always question everything, and after a lot of question answering the answer seems to always be ‘Jesus is right’.
