Yes, I DID mean to say "Hebrew" rather than "Greek".

The Hebrew word "malah" ("ma' alah" מַעֲלָה) is considered to "feminine" "gramatically", (not "sexually") because of the construction of the word, because it ends in the letter "ה" and not because a stair is particularly "female". This is the same for most European languages and particularly for those derived from the Greek or Latin. Like English, the gender of a word has an affect on it's modifiers, the choice of verbs and adjectives.

I am not sure if I agree with the premise that the "Word of God" contains "tares". "Tares" are a form of weed that, for all intents and purposes, looks like wheat but does not produce fruit. The "Word of God" is pure Truth, and as such, cannot contain "tares".

Mt 13:24 ¶ Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:

25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.

26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.

27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?

28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?

29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.

It does however, not gloss over the sins of man, including those whom are the "Called" of God. God presents us warts and all, in both "desirable" AND "undesireable" stories.

However, the Bible DOES say that the church (small "c") will contain "tares". That is, it will contain those who CLAIM to be "Christians" and who for all outward appearances SEEM to be "Christians" but whom on the Last Day will hear the Lord say, "Depart from me for I never knew you."

Natman wrote this;
I don't think so. I would say that, in this parable, the "good seed" ("wheat") are those who are true "Christians". The "tares" are those who profess to be "Christians" but in reality are not. The "enemy" is Satan. The "field" is the "visible Church".

You left out verse 30
Mt 13:30
"Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.' "

Jesus is clearly speaking of "people", not the Bible.

You have several hearers: those who hear and don't understand; the one who hears and immediately receives the heard word with joy, but has no firm root and stumbles at the first affliction; the one who hears and allows concerns about the world to choke the truth, and the one who hears it, understands it, and bears fruit (to varying degrees) as a result.

While the two parables have some similarities, they are different, and the two final lessons drawn from them are different.
