This could explain that feeling of emptiness I get from time to time.
Post verses from the Bible that will really make me think
This also confuses me. If anyone can help explain, that'd be great.
The Romans verse is mistranslated and jewed. God actually says don’t try to get revenge in public, I will bring about an appropriate time for you. So basically don’t be an asshole but don’t simply forget they wronged you either.
Thanks, user.
The Parable of the Unjust Steward.
The last two lines make sense but I can't even begin to understand what "make friends for yourselves by unrighteous mammon" and the master commending the unjust steward are supposed to mean. I even read St. Theophylact's commentary on it and I still have no idea.
The entire Book of Job.
Mammon means dealing with money. I guess the parable is teaching you to cut people slack on business deals and to forgive debts and not lose sight of the big picture when it comes to money. If the Steward had demanded every cent owed, his master would have gone broke. By only asking for partial repayment of those loans that couldn't be repaid otherwise, the steward managed to claw in enough money to save his master from going bust. So he pleased his master as well as the debtors. The steward managed to be shrewd and just in financial matters. The moral seems to be be honest and good with money so that people will trust you in spiritual matters and perhaps come to faith through you.
Judges 1:19
19Now the LORD was with Judah, and they took possession of the hill country; but they could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley because they had iron chariots
Never heard it put that way. Thanks for this.
