Weeds also have roots.
Before you call me wrong for comparing people to weeds, let me pre-empt:
Jesus did it, and we are to “have the mind of Christ”.
References available upon request.
I am aware of the reference in His parables. You might also note that He was using it in the context of His role in getting us to the Kingdom of Heaven and even said to let the weeds and wheat grow together to be sorted once the wheat was ready for harvest and finished with: 36 Then he left the crowd and went into the house. His disciples came to him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.” 37 He answered, “The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man.
I get accused of using Scripture out of context, but I really try hard to keep my references within the intent.
