Then he went on his journey. 16 The man who had received five bags of gold went at once and put his money to work and gained five bags more. 17 So also, the one with two bags of gold gained two more. 18 But the man who had received one bag went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money. 19 “After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them. 20 The man who had received five bags of gold brought the other five. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with five bags of gold. See, I have gained five more.’ 21 “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’ 22 “The man with two bags of gold also came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with two bags of gold; see, I have gained two more.’ 23 “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’ 24 “Then the man who had received one bag of gold came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed. 25 So I was afraid and went out and hid your gold in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.’ 26 “His master replied, ‘You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed? 27 Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest. 28 “‘So take the bag of gold from him and give it to the one who has ten bags. 29 For whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them. 30 And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ |

User ID: 1052341  Puerto Rico08/10/2013 02:54 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Well the Bible was "altered" at the first Council of Nicea, some books were left out on purpose (Book of Enoch and perhaps some others), certain areas of text were also altered to make it more favorable to Large Hierarchical Religions, like the Roman Catholic Church. There is also the matter of mis-translation in different versions of the Bible. However, if one reads the Bible with a certain level of discernment, and doesn't necessarily accept the meaning to be what your priest or pastor says they are, and if one pays particular attention to the actual words and teachings of Jesus Christ, then I fully believe the word of God is still readily available to you in the Bible...

I would point to the fact that even though the book is divinely inspired, it was written down by humans... And it was willfully changed at the Council of Nicea to promote religion, particularly hierarchical religion...Never forget, Constantine knew the Roman Empire was failing, so he morphed that Empire into a Church...The Roman Catholic Church! I just don't think you can throw out the whole baby with the bath water in this case, because I do believe the word of God is still present, you just have to be discerning...
