...more wheat than tares...simply counter to scripture...

I think she meant in the wheat field and not in the whole wide world. If there are more weeds in the wheat field than tares, she is correct, it would then be a tare field with scattered bits of wheat. The parable, though, assumes a wheat field.

" If there are more weeds in the wheat field than tares, she is correct, it would then be a tare field with scattered bits of wheat." In general, I'll have to concede that, but I have encountered some congregations that the above descrption might fit.
