Observation backed up by empirical evidence points to an undeniable truth, a truth for us in our times. God's anointed are in a field of weeds, that is, an imitation of the truth. Hence, false religion.

Matt.13:40 As therefore the darnel weeds are gathered up and burned with fire; so will it be at the end of this age. 13:41 The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his Kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and those who do iniquity, 13:42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and the gnashing of teeth. 13:43 Then the righteous will shine forth like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

Bad association spoils uses habits, truth! The anointed are also in a war with their own fleshly mind that war cannot be completely understood without having the life of Christ Jesus indwelling a person; where fleshly thoughts war against the life of the mind of Christ, no more so than a man can completely understand a woman carrying a child's life for nine-months.

The life that an anointed person carries is Christ life, the only way that life lives in us is by Holy Spirit. None of God's anointed take themselves out of the field of weeds, no more so than they give themselves the mind of Christ, which mind was created for them by Holy Spirit.

Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.

The truth in its purist form comes from Christ mind for humans. Subsequently, God is the one restoring truth in his children by His Holy Spirit. That Holy Spirit created and established the foundation of truth with God's anointed two thousand's years ago. The restraint lasted not even one hundred years. God “allowed” it to be removed, not by man will, or even the devil's, which corruption puts all of God's anointed into bad association with fleshly teachings - weeds!

Christ did not glorify himself in his flesh upon earth, none of God's anointed should either. God will take out his children by Holy Spirit from the weeds, which Holy Spirit created them in first place. Hence, any that presumptuously run ahead of Holy Spirit will come up short, and will have fights in their flesh with themselves, and with other anointed followers creating the division of the fleshly mind, proved by its fruitage.

1Cor.3:1 Brothers, I couldn't speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to babies in Christ. 3:2 I fed you with milk, not with meat; for you weren't yet ready. Indeed, not even now are you ready, 3:3 for you are still fleshly. For insofar as there is jealousy, strife, and factions among you, aren't you fleshly, and don't you walk in the ways of men? 3:4 For when one says, "I follow Paul," and another, "I follow Apollos," aren't you fleshly? 3:5 Who then is Apollos, and who is Paul, but servants through whom you believed; and each as the Lord gave to him? 3:6 I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase.

1Cor.3:10 According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another builds on it. But let each man be careful how he builds on it. 3:11 For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ. 3:12 But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or stubble; 3:13 each man's work will be revealed. For the Day will declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will test what sort of work each man's work is.
3:14 If any man's work remains which he built on it, he will receive a reward. 3:15 If any man's work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire. 3:16 Don't you know that you are a temple of God, and that God's Spirit lives in you?

What restores truth is Holy Spirit, as the mind of Christ was created by Holy Spirit. Peace will not come to any of God's children by fleshly thoughts. Hence, empirical evidence proves God's anointed are still thinking in a fleshly mind as the weeds are whom they are attached to. But they have hope in an established foundation created by God's Holy Spirit two thousand's year ago before the restrained was removed, and false religion took over. It behooves all of them to stay with the truth, which truth was created by Christ mind in Holy Spirit, waiting upon God's time table to take them out of the field weeds to glorify God's name, and not their own upon earth!

1Cor.1:29 that no flesh should boast before God.
1:30 But of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption: 1:31 that, according as it is written, "He who boasts, let him boast in the Lord."{Jeremiah 9:24}

Romans 8:6 For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace;

Romans 12:16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Don't set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Don't be wise in your own conceits.
