--- Quote from: bobf ---Read Daniel 4 as a kind of parable of God "destroying" a soul.  God destroyed the king's carnal self and raised up a new man in its place who was humble and loved God.

The tares are removed from God's kingdom which is within you and burned.  The tares are not converted into wheat.  They are destroyed.  Your old carnal man is destroyed and you are raised a new man in Christ.

The prodigal son had his soul APOLLUMI before he was made alive.  All must APOLLUMI their soul in order to find it.  All of our souls were carnal.

So is the tares, the carnal mind?  Then what is the chaff of the wheat?  

I've always thot of the chaff as the stuff to be burned, our carnal thots/mind???

thanks.

I see your question and maybe I'm wrong so don't quote me.  Those are separate parables.  One about wheat and chaff, another about wheat and tares.  As I understand, the tares and chaff symbolize the same thing (carnal self) when applied inwardly.  Both are separated from the wheat after it is grown and burned.

Laren,

I found an email where Mike answers exactly what you are asking.

From what I understand,all the parables are the same. they all say the same thing that many are called but few are chosen. Mar 4:13   And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?

Laren:
thanks Sorin and bobf, both of your posts were helpful.
