MEILYN: oh, its a parable sire. Dont take it word 4 word. That was why Jesus called it a parable. It was talking about something different. That i know 4 sure. i know it has nothing to do with skills. Oh nw i get u, dats what i was trying to let ha know.

obadiah777: what is a parable ? >>>> is a succinct, didactic story, in prose or verse, which illustrates one or more instructive lessons or principles.

now the parable of the talents is a parable of what will take you into the kingdom. what would take you into the kingdom ? knowing God and having a close relationship with him and studying to show yourself approved and doing the instructions that you are studying about. this is how you make it into the kingdom

[b]so how do you get to achieve all these ? the lord gives each person a talent ( meaning he would introduce each person to the word ). now you are only going to get a bit of it and then it would be up to you to draw closer to the lord with the little bit you were given by multiplying it. scripture says take one step towards me and i will take two towards you. scripture says i am at the door knocking and he who opens the door i will come in and sup with him. so this is how you multiply your talents, you assume diligence to make your election certain by getting in the words and linking the precepts to the get the full picture of the kingdom of heaven and its secrets. by doing that you are multiplying the little that the lord introduced to you initially. it is the parable of the seed sown on the fertile ground and the hard ground. the one on the fertile ground grows and gets bigger and stronger. the one on the hard ground is choked out and cant get its roots to go deep. thats what it is all about. studying to show yourself approved. studying to quicken your soul. the words in the bible is the spirit of christ ( john 1 vs 14 ) and by studying it diligently you are quickening your own spiritl and syncing your spirit to christs spirit and becoming christlike ( john 6 vs 63 ) ( romans 8 vs 16 ).
[/b]

so the lord deals only in scriptures, his word. nothing else. when he wants you to multiply your talents, he wants you to study more so you can get to know him

the talent is the amount in weight of initial word you were introduced to.

MEILYN: okay, u know thats a parable. Its talking about the kingdom of Heaven and how to make it.

14 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own
servants, and delivered unto them his goods. You have to work to make the kingdom of Heaven, the road to Heaven isnt straight and easy, it is rough, so Jesus used dis parable to make people then understand some few things.

15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man
according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey. everybody were created according to their ability, the journey begins.

16 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents. This man worked, and kept the commandments of God, till the final end.

The second man did same.

But the third man was rebellious and was preaching grace, he didnt keep the commandment of God.

21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. went to Heaven, because he was a faithful servant.

Same with the second.

The third man, was nuked. Lmao

That was what Obadiah meant, not by studying alone, practice what you study, multiply your talents by reading the bible and working 2wards perfection, then you will be that faithful servant.
Hope u understand now? Am on mobile, u know its difficult to type.

U only expantiated on my summary Meilyn.

How can you bear fruit if you don't practice what you preach (i.e. obeying God's command) Faith without works is dead.

And it's not about you saying you live the word alone, you need to share the light as living epistles.

obadiah777: lol it was a cute picture though i tell ya lol. she look like she was cleansing her emotions with the hard crying lwtmb. oh yes i am thanking God. I am seeing seeds planted flourishing into trees with their own seeds. to God be the glory and the pleasure is all mine. i need to thank you all for giving me the opportunity and for being a willing vessel. the pleasure is all mine. you guys made me earn a few stripes in the kingdom and for that i am always thankful. and what do you mean you did not contribute ? ahh you forget quickly. there have been gems you have dropped that has even shocked me. in fact i have had several moments of reading you guys posts and all i saw was seeds flourishing. the types of questions asked, the precepts dropped etc all indicate the flourishing of seeds by everyone of us. so we all did each other a favor. NOW TIME TO TAKE THE KINGDOM FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER
