It's similar to the parable of the good fish and the bad fish in the same net.
It's Christ's teaching that his Faith would never, ever, go out of existence, but that there would come to be a lot of GENUINE believers, and a lot of HYPOCRITES, in the same Church as it grew and developed.
The parable explicitly forbids any ***radical***
attempts, once the development has occured,
to create via schism, ANY so-called "purified"
Church.
JWs, and Luther,
Ellen G. White, and others who made radical attempts to do this, ignored this
teaching.
