Discuss Luke 16 Page 12

Okay; which Scriptures of the Prophets in particular, "No longer speak to us?" That is an error and ignorance of the eternal authority and purpose of ALL OF GOD'S WORDS! Things that are harder to understand we need to grow in grace and maturity for the Lord to show us, "as we are able to hear it." Paul said some things that seem to contradict what Jesus said, but the lack is in our understanding.

Note, vs 9, "that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for" a whole range of sinners, of all stripes. The law and the prophets ceased to speak after John the Baptist. Matt 11:13, Luke 16:15, Romans 10:4, Gal 3:23-24, and finally, "And the law is NOT OF FAITH" Gal 3:12, coupled with Romans 14:23, "for whatsoever IS NOT OF FAITH IS SIN". Folks don't like it, but it is veritable truth...

Vs. 16."The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it." We can define the point in time, when the OT stopped speaking to us ( Heb 1:1-2). It was John. Matt 11:13 says, "For all the prophets and the law prophesied UNTIL JOHN". Since John, we have been spoken to by our Lord Jesus Christ, through the Holy Spirit, and the Word.

Verse 9: We can not buy our friendship with Jehovah God and Jesus Christ, but by using our material assets to further Kingdom interests, we prove our friendship and love not just in word, but also by our actions.

There are two sides of the gulf. meaning two sides of heaven.

@Black-Adultery is ONLY applicable to "MARRIED" persons while
Fornication is ONLY applicable to "UNMARRIED" (SINGLE) persons 1 Corinthians 7:2 - Luke 16:18

There is no repentance after death. After death, the judgement. It is wise, therefore, that we strive to earn a place in the Lord's Kingdom by being true to His divine will while here on earth.

Some believe in fairy tales, Some believe in lies from false cults, some enjoy religion.
Jesus Christ said Except a man be Born Again he Cannot see the Kingdom of God Jn 3:3,5,7
Jn 14 :6 Jesus Christ is the ONLY Way to escape Hell

Luke:16:16

What does it mean to " write eighty". Does it mean he paid eighty in which case he would be out of the rich mans debt and therefore reunited with him because he is no longer subservient to his debt. Is this possibly a statement that the manager has performed his intended task of reuniting the rich master and his debtors.

Unto Abraham, were given the 10 commandments. The law of God. Written by God's own hand in the plan of Salvation. He handed it to moses, and moses handed it to the people. The people who are us. The prophets told of God's ppl who will die because of ignorance. They told of a Messiah to save the world. But, We have put aside The Law of God. If only we could embrace The Law and keep the Faith of Jesus, then Salvation will sure come unto us.

i love it

It teaches us that u can be praised on earth because of the things you have, while ignoring the word of God, doing things against the will of God,,,,, the day you leave the earth you will be the last, you will not be treated as a king as u were in earth

I agree with Biblefan! The Holy Scriptures has a lot of symbols that God will discern to us, if we are not so quick to question a passage that "seems " like it contradicts another. I feel this has to do with our Spiritual life and that we have a choice to be filled with the HOLY SPIRIT or we can chose to ignore what it is saying to us, before it is too late ! once we have made that choice there 's no turning back repenting or being prayed out of eternity! Jesus wants us to serving Him now, because he cant help us once we go into eternity! So, none of God 's WORD disputes another...Pray for discernment of God 's WORD...

It is written in ecclesiastic that the dead know not what the living do or even have a memory. .and no reward but are forgotten. ..this parable given by Jesus dispurt this...

whether you are a good ,Bad or ugly person.you were created in the imagine of God like just like the angels. Angels can not ever die or completely be annihilated or not exist. So since the fallen Angels seperation from eternal god were kicked out of heaven, they must exist some were. So god made a place call hell for them. Always remember the real interpretation of the word hell means forever suffering My fiend Luke 16:23 is not an imaginery story, but of live events jesus talked about. Hell is not a metyphor or some curse word,it is a literal horrible place made for fallen angels SFEG not men. However, When men refuse to be born again or chose jesus as lord and savor from hell, he is all ready bond to go to to hell. Today is the day salvation for you and whosoever, because tomorrow,next week, month, or year could be last time before death seperatates you from time to eternity. Genesis 2:7 Death separates the body from the soul. Your soul is eternal and has to exist somewere forever like the fallen. Man will never not exist beyond the grave or you will always exist forever because of your soul. Matthew 10:28 Please!! do some follow up reseach on this matter and chose wisely. If you fail to go to heaven forever, hell is the alternative forever, because man was created to exist fovever. This is whats unique about the creation of man and angels vs. all the rest of creation of God, we the power of belief and choice. I hope to see you in heaven!!

Anyone preaching some kind of a second chance 19-31 after death is a great deceiver. Salvation is now, actually today. This means we need to die saved and living saved whether we are rich 'poor, educated, uneducated, health or sick with any kind of diseases. The other point is that there is nothing inherently evil in riches and something inescapably good in being poor. We are ALL saved and judged by our attitude today and now to Jesus Christ.

the unfaithful steward may actually be a picture of Jesus himself --- humanity in general could be the debtors and jesus the debt collector --- we are reconciled to god by paying some of what we owe knowing that we fall short of paying in full

ECCLESIASTES 10:19 COMMENTS 5 02 2015 4:10 AM Not because we do not need money, but we need in every day living only. In Luke 16:13 we cannot serve two masters. Temporal things is good, but the eternal things is the best. 2 Cor4:17-18 . Lord, thank you for the wealth is in you. A-men.

This talks about a place to me that I surely would not want to end up, and those of us that want to be saved should take heed to this warning! Jesus is the only redeemer, only he can save us from torment and the only thing we have to do is ask him and follow him.

On verses 1-12 is all about a Character that can be TRUSTED, As a citizens of the Kingdom of God We must possess this Trustworthy character,how can God trust us if others can trust us, if others can trust us how much more our Father in Heaven?, the context of this verses that Jesus want to teach us is that we can be TRUSTED by the Righteous and even the Unrighteous.......God Bless....

Verse 8 is KEY to understanding this parable. Who are the children of light? They are the followers of Jesus. Jesus is the light of this world. John chapter one verses 4 and 9 explains this. So, the lord speaking here in verse 8 is NOT Jesus! Jesus does not praise the unjust! The Bible says Satan tries to deceive even the elect, One must recognize this when it occurs! Who would say cheating is wise? Remember HELL is an everlasting habitation! There are the followers of God and there are the followers of unrighteous mammon, one can not be both no matter how generous one is with the money. In this example money was stolen and given away so that the people receiving the stolen money might treat the thief as a friend and give him employment. Who would want to hire a thief except people that are unjust and want to steal themselves. In truth, accepting a false reduction in debt is stealing also. They were all thieves, children of darkness. And NO, they are not wiser than children of light! That is a lie and Satan is the father of the lie. Jesus gives the gift of Divine substance that enriches life, the substance of truth, fairness, equity, love, peace and everlasting life.

his is the fantastic good news as we are now no longer under the heavy Tribal laws of Moses and the leadership of the old Prophets , even today 's Priests, and their father, an elected Pope and his decisions. We are free as being awakened to our identity as a Son of our Father creator as Jesus Christ, the Word of I am that I am.

Michaela...to be saved is to be redeemed, to be snatched from the jaws of hell by our Saviour. Think of it as a person out at sea drowning or in the deep end of a pool, then a lifeboat or someone comes by and pick them up out of that state or someone caught in a burning house, then a firefighter comes to their aide. It is just like that with Jesus, once you have accepted Him wholeheartedly as Lord and Saviour that is to put away all sin, He will abide in you and you will be a changed person. No one can serve two masters St. Luke 16:13 , so you must choose to either walk with Christ or live in sin. If you choose the sinful path homosexuality - being gay , then 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 Galatians 5:19-21 Romans 1:18-32, makes you aware of the fact that you will not inherit the Kingdom of God. Choose wisely and turn from the ways that displeases God and seek after Him, He will deliver you from sin.

What I or you "think " of Luke 16 9 is of no consequence, is it? Only what God means by it, is valid. And only He can give a person the correct intrepretation, after rightly dividing the word, by comparing every verse from the entire bible, concerning the subject. God being soverign, certainly can not care what we "think " about anything. Again, being soverign, He does not have to "check " with us. You see, mankind has never had an original thought of his own, because only God is soverign. If mankind did, then he would be in competition with God, and the Bible declares very clearly that God is the "only " soverign.

Answer to Shmoeul nona In regards to the question what did Abraham mean when talking about the great gulf. Answer This is an insight into Hell and Paradise. The great gulf is talking about the Bottomless Pit. When Jesus descended into the heart of the earth for three days he entered into paradise. We get this from Jesus telling the thief on the cross Today though will be with me in Paradise. After three days Jesus took all of the dead saints to heaven with him.

Q What was the Intention of Jesus when he said Lazarus was laid at his gate V20 . A He meant that the rixh man was seeing this man every day when he go out come back home. So the Jesus message to us, who many people was see every day like Lazarus, have we done anything for them. Q What is the meaning of V26 there is a great gulf fixed.....etc. A Jesus is telling us while you are in this world, do your duties as GOD asked you, because after we die will be too late to correct our mistakes sins. GOD bless you.

Luke 16 13 are daughter Coleen ran away from home, she says she still believes in God, she is saved, she is 18 years old, but she says she wants to live her life, she ran away from home, living the wordly life, but says she still love God, I know what she is saying is true, but as verse says you cannot serve both, right now world views and the world got hold of her, please pray for her

The chapter is nice. Because it teaches us that there is a heaven hell and its our choice to go to either one of those places. I pray god that when I die ill go to heaven because I know that hell is not that nice.

in understanding this scripture.God said to me when I am faithful to another mans.That can also be my Pastor.so when I amfaithful to his ministry.God will give me my own
