MATTHEW 25:30 THE UNPROFITABLE SERVANT

[Fred J]

The body of Christ found in Paul's epistles will be in heavenly places.......only believing Israel will be priests in the kingdom on earth

Again i disagree strongly.

The body of Christ mentioned in Paul's epistle is the church on earthly places.

1 Corinthians 12:
12. For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
13. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond of free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
25. That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.
27. Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.


The body of Christ, the church, since the beginning consist of the remnant of Jews and Gentiles in 'equality' and 'oneness'.

From then on when their time on earth is up, they die or in other word, asleep, Jews or Gentiles alike await for the 'first resurrection'.

...only believing Israel will be priests in the kingdom on earth

You're still in ancient Israel and Temple and under the Law and bound.

Acts 9:
15. But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto Me, to bear My name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:

In all the epistles of Paul addressed to the Gentile nation churches, he prophesy all the promises of God 'equally' to the Gentiles and Jews now in one body of Christ.

There's no such divided testament that only the believing Israel will be priest in the kingdom of earth and in Heaven.

Again it's merely your usual 'spin' and 'twist' varying from the actual and truthful New Testament account.

Hope you get it or in vain am just talking to a brick wall.

It should be understood that the basic problem in understanding the Parables of the Talents and the Minas can be found in who we believe is the man who goes away for a time to receive a kingdom?

My understanding is that the man who goes away for 1,000 years is Satan, whereas many "Christians" believe that this man is Jesus.

When we introduce an error in our understanding of the parables, then where we end up is not what we would hope for, becoming the servant of the wrong person/entity.

But that is the "sacred tradition" that many follow.

So you mean to testify that before leaving satan gave talents to his servants?

Then after 1,000 years he return to have them give an account of their labor?

And he orders for the unprofitable servant to be cast into outer darkness?

Is the Kingdom of Heaven the kingdom of satan?

How do you study the parable?

Best you change your glasses or get one from the Kingdom of GOD, and not kingdom of satan.

Matthew 25:
14. For the Kingdom of Heaven is as ..................................................

Ask youself, how can satan fit in the parable about the Kingdom of Heaven is as?
