NOETHNICITY:The Parable of the Ten Minas 11 While they were listening to this, he went on to tell them a parable, because he was near Jerusalem and the people thought that the kingdom of God was going to appear at once. 12 He said: “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to have himself appointed king and then to return. 13 So he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas.[a] ‘Put this money to work,’ he said, ‘until I come back.’ 14 “But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, ‘We don’t want this man to be our king.’ 15 “He was made king, however, and returned home. Then he sent for the servants to whom he had given the money, in order to find out what they had gained with it. 16 “The first one came and said, ‘Sir, your mina has earned ten more.’ 17 “‘Well done, my good servant!’ his master replied. ‘Because you have been trustworthy in a very small matter, take charge of ten cities.’ 18 “The second came and said, ‘Sir, your mina has earned five more.’ 19 “His master answered, ‘You take charge of five cities.’ 20 “Then another servant came and said, ‘Sir, here is your mina; I have kept it laid away in a piece of cloth. 21 I was afraid of you, because you are a hard man. You take out what you did not put in and reap what you did not sow.’ 22 “His master replied, ‘I will judge you by your own words, you wicked servant! You knew, did you, that I am a hard man, taking out what I did not put in, and reaping what I did not sow? 23 Why then didn’t you put my money on deposit, so that when I came back, I could have collected it with interest?’ 24 “Then he said to those standing by, ‘Take his mina away from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.’ 25 “‘Sir,’ they said, ‘he already has ten!’ 26 “He replied, ‘I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but as for the one who has nothing, even what they have will be taken away. 27 But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them—bring them here and kill them in front of me.’” |

In as much as one has to be careful about religious talks cos of the tension. I believe the mods have to step in to caution some peeps. If u don't understand anything, the bible/quaran is there for u to read and meet someone to explain. Some PEEPS(they know themselves) are anti-christians. They are MUSLIMS and trying to make mockery of the christian faithfuls but dare insult their MOHAMEED and you will see how they react. Though we all know that he is the reason why islam is the way it is to the world, JIHADIST, calling. Non muslims INFIDELS, and asking the rich to sponsor jihad in. Exchange for their paradise. I have gone through the quran and I won't be tempted to start quoting the surahs where it is written before this trend turns to another thing |

Re: 5 Things some Christians Wish Jesus Didn't Say by menxer: 4:55pm On Feb 14, 2016 |
iliyande: What are you trying to say? The forgiving or not forgiving God is the creation of man. "God" has no hand in that because it is human to forgive implying holding or bear grudge against someone. If your God forgives then he/it is not fit to be God but Man. PS : I withdraw my above comments because if my definition of God is at variance with others' it does not mean either is wrong, based on our spiritual perspective. |

oluwaseyi000: pray to God to open your spirit to understand the Bible before you read it, if not you'll be reading it like a news paper. This parable was talking about the healing power of Jesus Christ. Jesus started His Healing with the Children of God (those chosen by him to inherit the blessing ie Israel) but this lady was an outcast (so to speak) but needed Jesus to heal her daughter. So Jesus simply told to her, that healing belongs to the children of God in that parable. However, the woman exercised her faith by saying nothing was impossible for Jesus to do, by saying that her daughter, though an outcast, can still benefit from the healing after the children of God have been healed. Jesus also responded to her faith and her daughter got healed. Don't see anything slavery about that. It's like attending to your family needs before others. 1 Like |

paschu: Did you read those verses? No you didn't. Jesus is believed to succeed David in his throne but in heaven but from a blood line cursed by God according to Jeremiah 30:36. There are so many like it in the bible. Confusion and discrepancies. You van read more here: http://www.answering-christianity.com/101_bible_contradictions.htm |
Re: 5 Things some Christians Wish Jesus Didn't Say by paschu: 5:47pm On Feb 14, 2016 |
xtremrules: No the Bible does not contradict itself, and our God is not the author of confusion. If anything, it's our unserstanding of the scriptures that needs to be stregthened out. 1 Like |

paschu:I really hate to acure. You really didn't read it. Just believing what your pastor and parents said. Genesis 8:21 And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done. That was God's word. But now.in book of revelation Revelation 8:8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; 8:9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed. What will you call that. Love? |
