Bible Discussion Thread

I have been struggling with Matthew 13:12 for a long time now. Why should the one who has a lot be given even more and the one who has little be taken away even the little he has. The interpretations; I see are those making it as if it were the parable about talents - that the one who makes talents work for "interest" is favored over the one who buries them. But Matthew 13:12 does not address the action, namely what people do with what they have and the resulting consequences. It is simply saying: give the one who has much and take away from the one who has little. Why did the original writer leave this ambiguity? Was the translation perhaps not faithful? Surely Jesus in his teaching from this boat is in fact giving something to those who do not have much, i.e. enriching the ignorant, for they do not have what his disciples have. He did not run from people saying you are ignorant, hence I will not bother with you... Any reasoned explanations?
