Chingeutti,
Where did you pick up your quote from C, the atheists web site. As Ardie would say a little selective.
Now let's look at the full quote and context to reveal your fundamental dishonesty.
THE PARABLE OF THE TEN MINAS
Luke ch.19 v.11 to v.26
11While 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. 12He said: "A man of noble birth went to a distant country to have himself appointed king and then to return. 13So he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas. '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. 21I 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? 23Why 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 he has will be taken away. 27But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them--bring them here and kill them in front of me.’ ”
Now Chingeutti a question for you, What is a parable?
Oh you don't know? You tell him Ardie you have nothing against any religion do you? Oh you don't know either?
Well you were very quick to jump in with three cheers weren't you.
Macquarie: parable...A short allegorical story designed to convey some truth or moral lesson.
If you're not honest enough to admit you downloaded this from a web page and have never held a Christian bible in your hands I will sort out all the other quotes of Jesus and the rest for you. One by one.
