Agreed.
However, the issue that has come up, and the common misunderstanding of this passage, is that of the unified narrative that spiritually connects Paul's words of "
dishonoring servants" to Jesus' "
evil servants." Jesus does not say they lose their salvation but rather will suffer consequences, and Paul says they are of the same "
great house." Which means they are
not referring to a loss of salvation, or those outside the church-- which makes the context that of handling the gospel...and a specific need to keep it straight.
Straight how?
That is the point that I have been addressing (on more than one thread). It is a major problem that has us doing exactly what Paul told us not to do, which is all the squabbling over scripture.
But it is a much bigger issue than that by far. Which would not be obvious without joining both Jesus and Paul in spirit toward all truth, just as Jesus has arranged for our benefit via the Holy Spirit. As Paul advocated, this is our way to "
press on."
If not...then, well, one may certainly
not press on and remain in partial truth until death, and then wake up to all they otherwise missed during their lifetime in the world.
But that is simply not what is prescribed in the scriptures if one has and ear to hear the overarching unified spiritual work of the Holy Spirit regarding the gospel during the church age. And, yes, maybe that is too much for some people...it certainly was for the apostles, at least that is what Jesus told them:
John 16:12
“
I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now."
But us? ...
We are not suppose to just hear, but do.
