@VictoryinJesus It's all about being ready for the Lord, isn't it? when He comes...read all your wonderful post here. Still I’m not settled on the virgins. ‘Wise’ varies as in He takes the foolish to confound the wise. It is not you but me. Kind of like your recent battle with Paul. Not asking you to convince me and I’m not trying to convince you. I just don’t see how the wise ...if their oil (light) was the light of Christ ... they wouldn’t give to those who didn't NOT ask for light, but DID ASK for light ‘to go out to meet the bridegroom’. The wise didn’t give for fear there would not be enough light ‘Christ’ for them and another. Not to mention all the countless verses of giving to him who lacks. Even the ‘depart I never knew you’ in the you didn’t visit me in prison, you didn’t give me food when I was hungry, you didn’t give me water when I was thirsty, or clothe me when I was naked’ the ‘doing’ in when He comes being toward those who lack. Instead a hoarding up of seek after your own and not the things of another's. Not ‘I will gladly spend and be spent by you, although the more I love you the less I be loved.’ Paul said it but it could have easily been said by Jesus Christ as well. ‘Gladly I will spend and be spent by you. Though the more I love ...the less I be loved.’ Proverbs 16:8 Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.
...better is a little with Christ than great revenues without Him.
With but they lacked opportunity...was not the share your light with us ...opportunity for Christ to increase? Why would God oppose giving to a brother on need or without?
Another struggle is the one son who wasted all his living on rioting and joined himself to that country eating husk ...he would have been as those foolish who ‘wasted it’ maybe to come and knock, crying “I am without”! Then the command if you hear a knock, open it...with He who doesn’t love his brother hasn't heard the voice of he who knocks. ‘I am without’! I stand and knock...open!
2 Corinthians 6:11 O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart (Christ)is enlarged.
Mat 25:11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
Mat 25:12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
John 13:7 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.
Luke 22:55-57 And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them. [56] But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him. [57] And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.
Filled but not running over the top, not overflowing?...which the ten virgins is also about lending? Why is it considered good they didn’t share oil?
