If I was walking by a feild and noticed it was overgrown with weeds, but it had wheat growing within, here and there. Wouldn’t it be wrong to condemn the feild? The wheat may be valuble to the owner in times of famine. Even if the owner is a close friend, its not our feild is it? But His. Tim
 
If its his property can’t he do what he wants with it? I mean, as long as whatever act he’s doing isn’t hurting anyone is it anybody’s business? :ehh:
 
Um, won’t the wheat eventually rot anyway? We have wheat around here and if it’s not harvested, and just stays in the field in case of “famine”, it won’t be usable anyway.

When you say “His”…did you mean God’s?
 
If you aren’t speaking metaphoically, wheat that is growing here and there among weeds is unharvestable (if that’s a word). Farmers now days use combines to harvest; they don’t go into the field an pluck wheat off of individual plants, which would be too time consuming for the farmer. And no, you don’t have the right to burn anyone else’s field no matter if is filled with weeds or not.

Now, if you are speaking metaphorically, then, I don’t know what you are driving at. But, I’ll hazard a guess and you tell me if I am right.

Is the field other Christian communions? If so, you are saying that destroying the other communion would mean destroying the few true believers in it as well? I don’t think that’s a good analogy because destroying heresies cannot possibly destroy those who are already inclined to believe the truth. In fact, it might free them to leave it and come home to the Catholic Church where they truly belong.
 
if you tried that where I live you’d be arrested. A farmer can burn his field only during certain times of the year and only with a permit. It is necessary to get rid of volunteers, especially in the cotton fields. Now, apply that analogy to Church work and see if it works.

Very much. I am conserned in what I see going on across denominations. My mom-Catholic, my dad-Baptist, who am I to ask which one is truly saved, but I see their strengths. So am I to say a denomination is wrong. This is a question to anyone who thinks that defending the faith includes condemning a “feild”. Sorry if I offend anyone, it just seems repelling to me. Thank You, Tim
 
No need to apologize, I understand your perdicament. My parents personally don’t have a religion, and my Uncle who lives with us is extremely anti-religion. However, the Catholic Church does teach that Non-Catholics can be saved.
