Matt  13:36-40  is  talking  about  true  versus  false  teachings.  41  does tell  us  that  Jesus  will  also  clean  out  from  his  kingdom, people  who  are  doing  lawlessness.  The  fact  that  both  false  teachings  and  false  teachers  will  be  cast  into  the  fiery furnace   shows  that   Jesus  will  not  allow  either  to  remain  alive  and well in  his  kingdom.   Of  course,  these  people  continue  living outside  his  kingdom,  as  they  weep  and  gnash  their  teeth.  Truth  does  not  appeal  to  them, so  they  want  to  stay in  their  lies,  but  this  does  not  make  them  happy.  However,  Mark 9:42  helps  us  to  understand  that  they will  drown  in their  lies.  43 to  48  helps  us  to  understand  that  no  matter  what  it  is  that  stumbles  us,  no  matter  how  much  we  love it or  feel  we  need it,  we  must  cast  it  away  from  us.  Nothing  is  worth  Jehovah  finding  us  unacceptable. 
with  affection  from  Marken
