possibly. There is much to consider for sure. Just thinking ... There is a rich man and a manager. The manager says: my master is taking the management away from me. I’m not strong enough to dig.
I am ashamed to beg.
Luke 16:3 Lexicon: "The manager said to himself, 'What shall I do, since my master is taking the management away from me? I am not strong enough to dig; I am ashamed to beg.
Strong's Greek: 1871. ἐπαιτέω (epaiteó) -- to beg
‘I know what I will do ... I am not strong enough to dig. I am ashamed to beg (ask alms.)
And
his master praised the unrighteousness injustice, ...Praised, applauded the unrighteous injustice
Matthew 23:23-25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for
ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have
omitted (cut, leave off) the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and
not to leave the other undone. [24] Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel. [25] Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
Makes me think of their saying to one ‘it is a Corbin’ and they suffered them no more to do ought for father or mother. How they so quickly said to do this, but strike that out. And through this exempting (cutting in half) they could keep not only themselves blind but others as well. Deceiving themselves from ever seeing their failure; in if you fail in
any part ...you fail in
all.
his master praised the injustice. The Pharisees who were ‘lovers of money’ were listening, scoffing (to hold up the nose in derision at Him). ‘the love of money is the root of all evil’. The Pharisees didn’t have our luxury to wiggle out from under being ‘lovers of money’. Since He told them that was who they were ‘lovers of money’, while they snubbed up their noses in derision and distaste at Him.
...his master praised the unrighteous injustice of the ‘unrighteous manager’. No man can serve two master.
Which master praises unrighteous injustice? That which is highly esteemed among men...praising unrighteous injustice...is a detestable thing before God.
Then ...Make friends by means of riches of unrighteousness injustice...so whenever it fails (to cease) they will receive you into ‘the eternal age long dwellings.’
Luke 16:9 Lexicon: "And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by means of the wealth of unrighteousness, so that when it fails, they will receive you into the eternal dwellings.
There is a rich man and a manager. The manager says: my master is taking the management away from me. I’m not strong enough to dig. I am ashamed to beg.
Immediately after He moves on to: the rich man and
a beggar.
