Luke Chapter 16 Discussion Page 4

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.

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.

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.

The rich man being in hell does not mean that all rich people will go to hell Remember the rich man in acts chapter 10 whose generosity brought salvation to his house by means of peter if I may ask what would have happened to the rich man if he was generous while on earth

I thnk u ppl of God 4caring us nd loving us even on social ntwks Am happy tht we can get th bible while we are online on facebook May God bless u all

Money is neutral it s only a medium of exchange Mammon is a spirit of greed It s the word term used in the original writings Love of Mammon is the root of all evil

I ve heard people say this is a parable I personally do not believe it is I believe God is giving us a stern warning that hell is real and this is just a small preview of the hell to come in the lake of fire and brimstone The bible says as I live saith the Lord God every knee shall bend and every head shall bow and confess that I am Lord and no man comes unto the Father but by Me Every person controls their own destination you can go up or down It s your choice

Your advancement in God and life greatly depends on your commitment and faithfulness to HIS assignment in your hands.It is require of us to be faithful to our fellow men also,for God use men to test our hearts.

I beleive that we all fall short as to the way we live, so who are we to judge, yet we do! I am a strong beliver that if you have not learned to repent of your sins then you are destinty to live enternal in hell. Learn to Forgive, Learn to Love, Learn to support your Fellowman, and always trust and beleive in God.

I have found myself to be guilty of such a crime towards my sister-in-law and heer husband. They tend to do eveerything the biblle says not to' and I get so mad at them as tho I've not sin before. It would be the same if that woould have happen to me instead of the rich man. We must treat oone another as God treats all of us. I'm no better than them when I pass judgement. May God forgive me.

I believe this scripture has a twofold meaning as to who will receive you into their eternal habitation. First of all in every day life calamity times will come, disasters of all kind, fires, floods earth quakes ect. and you don't know who God will send to your aide, and it plainly infers to storing up good works or your treasures in heaven that (GOD/JERSUS will receive you into their everlasting tabernacles.

God is sure not an author of confusion. Whosoever shall divorce his wife for anyother reason other than fornication causes her to commit adultery and if he takes or marries another woman he commits adultery. Thus divorce is absolutely wrong where it is not as a result of one spouse cheating on the other. See mat 5:32. Marriage is a serious business and should not be delved into blindly. May God give us the grace to strive on Amen

Brother God do not make mistakes you say both want things to get better goods that is the will of GOD whatever made you fall in love with her from the beginning think on these things and talk to each other and I mean talk GOD IS LOVE

There is hidden wisdom in God that can be of great help to the saints, and the entire universe.

As we think about the reason why Lazarus was carried into Abraham's bosom, and the rich man died, then opened his eyes in hell, being in torment. Lazarus lived by faith, and not by sight. We are justified by our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and even though Lazarus lived dependent on the crumbs from the rich man's gate, God sent the dogs to lick his sores. The rich man live in purple, and fine linen, dependent on his riches everyday. Jesus had already said man cannot serve God, and mammon. What is highly esteemed among men, is an abomination in the sight of God. Only by faith in the shed blood of Jesus Christ can we be justified from our sins, and thus Lazarus was justified, therefore the angels carried him into Abraham's bosom. The rich man trusted in his riches, and was not justified. Not by works of righteousness which we have done that God has saved us, but because of His mercy that He has extended to us at the cross of the Lord Jesus Christ. When we place our faith in Him we too will be justified in His presence. Have faith in God, and do not trust in your riches to get to heaven.

I think they are wisers than us, that is why we need to be sober and be vigilant.
The Lord has tell us, so that we will not be ignorant of devise.

The rich young man asked Jesus what shall I do to enter the kingdom? He answered sell everything and follow me. It was the day he was going to Jerusalem. Of course any man would have to be totally crazy to give up everything to follow a beggar to persecution. Today that would be considered immoral and insane. I have done these things and now have become a beggar. I sold my Ferrari to pay for the debt I incurred going to Jerusalem. I sold my forty thousand dollar watch and everything that could make me appear rich. I now ride a bicycle and have to beg for a living. I can say that in my living envelope I have seen it all. I have now reached the kingdom. From here I can lift all of humanity to a better place, the kingdom of God.

This means we have to share the little we have with others so that we can have the chance to live in Abraham's bossom

My brother,GOD is not an author of confusion.YOU have been join,no one put asunder. pls pray to GOD,He will amend your marriage. thanks.

It makes sense that if we would treat our neighbor as ourselves. We would love them and help them in their time of need. We would use our money, our riches to benefit and do good to others, as we are stewards of the money and the gifts of God. Let us share all of God's righteousness.
