They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. 3They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control.

Why submit to rules and regulations like 21 "Hands off this!" "Taste not that!" "Touch not this!" — 22 referring to things that perish by being used? These rules are determined by human precepts and tenets; 23 they get the name of 'wisdom' with their self-imposed devotions, with their fasting, with their rigorous discipline of the body, but they are of no value, they simply pamper the flesh! 1 Peter 4:18 And if the righteous man is scarcely saved, where will the irreverent and sinful man appear? |

Like hatred, unkindness slander and every evil and negative trait that a soul is enslaved to. Incubation, for those with these deadly viruses of the soul which manifests in our 3D physical form. God is Love and He will not endanger Heaven with these illnesses of the spirit and soul. All of us will be weighed on the scales of Justice. Make sure that the light in you is truly the Light of Heaven, if it isn't great is your darkness and you do not love the Light, you love your own ego more than God the Creator. |

You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities.'..This parable has nothing to do with money, it has to do with faithful servitude according to your abilities based on how well you hear and understand what Jesus' Kingdom is all about. These 'servants' had abilities some more so then others. How the servants use their talents for the good or for the bad is based on how well they understand how Christ wants them to use it. The talents are how well we apply the wisdom and knowledge and love of God to each soul in regards to the gospel. Are our talents being appropriated correctly? Are we presenting the gospel as it was presented by Christ Jesus or are we presenting a distorted gospel that has the Name of Jesus attached to it? If a servant is hearing another voice other than the pure voice of the Shepherd of the souls of men, then they are putting the talents to waste and void any good affect that the gospel has on souls. The Money Perverts who distorted this parable of Christ Jesus I do not envy at all. However if we close our eyes to the abuse we to will be held accountable. Its not about money it is about the gospel and that is the talent which we are to wield, the sword of the Lord. Some have more skill than others on wielding the gospel. But God has placed responsibility on all servants, from the lowest(me) to the very highest learned and educated woman and man-the powerful. Some are Wise Virgins(servants of the Kingdom) and some are Foolish Virgins(servants of the Kingdom). By this parable alone we see that we will all give account for our use of talents(responsibilities). Notice that Matthew chapter 25 revolves around Christianity and the servants(you me and all that name the name of Jesus). All 3 parables in this chapter are about our Christian duty to be faithful to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Preaching, casting out demons and prophesying or any kind of Christian service can be deduced to 2 levels: are you doing it according to the gospel or are you doing it for your own agenda or the agenda of others? All lot of people here alone in this forum talk alot about God but what are their agendas and are they presenting the gospel of Jesus Christ faithfully and accurately, the heart has to ask. But you cant fool Christ, you can fool others but the price of accountability was made clear by the Son of God. |

By this parable alone we see that we will all give account for our use of talents(responsibilities). Notice that Matthew chapter 25 revolves around Christianity and the servants(you me and all that name the name of Jesus). All 3 parables in this chapter are about our Christian duty to be faithful to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Preaching, casting out demons and prophesying or any kind of Christian service can be deduced to 2 levels: are you doing it according to the gospel or are you doing it for your own agenda or the agenda of others? All lot of people here alone in this forum talk alot about God but what are their agendas and are they presenting the gospel of Jesus Christ faithfully and accurately, the heart has to ask. But you cant fool Christ, you can fool others but the price of accountability was made clear by the Son of God. It would be a shame and travesty if we used others for our own benefits; fame wealth power, political or otherwise. It would be worse if we did it at the expanse of the person or persons in feigning genuine frienship at the cost of the others we use-key word: use. I hope most of us will not be found guilty of using others in such a cruel manner. It would be even worse if we are found guilty in using the fame and power of the Son of God in such manner. And I think that many will be found in this travesty. Vain glory is fleeting when you compare time to eternity. ...did we not in your Name do these many works? The Son of God turns to them as says: 'truly I never knew you' Matthew 7:21-23 21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’ Either one is for the Truth or one is against the Truth. Anything in-between is deceit and deception. Either way the decision is made. I was walking I was walking into walls I'm back again I just keep walking I walk into a window To see myself And my reflection When I thought about it My direction Going nowhere No one...no one is blinder Than he who will not see |
