It is sad to hold that opinion and I don't wish to be judgemental but it was very odd and unsettling thing to experience. Perhaps they felt that way about me also I don't know but yeah I have no other explanation
It seems prideful and condemning of me to think that I might know or be able to know if someone has a soul or not and it also seems to counteract that God wishes that all be saved but at the same time the concept of soulless humanoids would fit with the rephaim/nephilim hybrid idea so 🤷♂️. Just thoughts I have
agree, the parable of the wheat and the tares explains a lot! I've noticed that George Washington & Thomas Jefferson also referred to it, and that's why it's so important to study history.
I was a teacher too, know what you're talking about. and it's interesting when you look to see where they are as adults/many with criminal records:(
some links related to the parable, SO much information at the Mount Vernon website.
"Washington routinely incorporated familiar biblical idioms into his working vocabulary, including: "forbidden fruit" (Genesis 3),3 “fat of the land" (Genesis 45:18),4 "seven times seven years" (Leviticus 25:8),5 "thorn in our side" (Numbers 33:55; Judges 2:3),6 "first fruit" (Deuteronomy 26:2),7 "sleep with my Fathers" (Deuteronomy 31:16; 2 Samuel 7:12; 1 Kings 1:21),8 "neither sleep nor slumber" (Psalm 121:4; Isaiah 5:27),9 "all the days of your life" (Psalm 23:6),10 "like sheep, to the Slaughter" (Psalm 44:22; Acts 8:32; Romans 8:36),11 "engraved on every man's heart" (see Jeremiah 17:1; Romans 2:15),12 "seperating [sic] the Wheat from the Tares" (Matthew 13:25ff),13 "a millstone hung to your neck" (Matthew 18:6; Mark 9:42; Luke 17:2);14 "wars and rumors of wars" (Matthew 24:6; Mark 13:7),15 "good and faithful servant" (Matthew 25:21, 23),16 and "take up my bed and walk." (Mark 2:9; John 5:8-12).17"
George Washington was a farmer...there's a farmer in the parable. GW also had a special 16 sided barn for the wheat.
I've long held the belief that the tares among the wheat are soulless people.
I developed this teaching in inner city. Some you could tell by their eyes.
I have seen a couple people personally who literally had this appearance and had taken or a possessed appearance. Was very creepy and unsettling.

Could you elaborate please?
