There was a rich man who had a manager, and charges were brought to him that this man was wasting his possessions. And he called him and said to him, 'What is this that I hear about you? Turn in the account of your management, for you can no longer be manager.' And 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, and I am ashamed to beg. I have decided what to do, so that when I am removed from management, people may receive me into their houses.' So, summoning his master's debtors one by one, he said to the first, 'How much do you owe my master?' He said, 'A hundred measures of oil.' He said to him 'Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.' Then he said to another, 'And how much do you owe?' He said, 'A hundred measures of wheat.' He said to him, 'Take your bill, and write eighty.'The master commended the dishonest manager for his shrewdness. For the sons of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than the sons of light. And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous wealth, so that when it fails they may receive you into the eternal dwellings.

Rather, Jesus wants us to be shrewd stewards in the sense of utilizing our resources wisely-to advance His kingdom and bless others. I don't get it. Seems to contradict itself.
>>80071579Jesus goes on to say:>One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much. If then you have not been faithful in the unrighteous wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches? And if you have not been faithful in that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own? No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.
>>80071579It doesn't contradict itself at all, though. If one was to acquire a great deal of wealth through dishonest means and then be 'generous' with it, they'd just be giving back to the people they stole from.
>>80071597Bro it's cope everyone would want to be rich but they can't so they cope.
>>80071597>honesty is some intrinsic virtue that always gets rewardedExcept no it isn't. Honest people are probably the most exploited of all.Weird little cult leader just wants people to be losers like him.
>>80071877>>80071806Atheists coping hard as always.
>>80071927People willingly wanting to live a miserable and poor life is succumbing to the elites wishes where we rent all their materials and beg for crumbs. Just because you are poor doesn't make you any more righteous or virtuous than a well-off man.
>>80071953Unless the system is inherently designed to benefit shitty archetypes of people.
>>80071877You never heard about the satanic pedophiles and jews who rule the world?The bible itself says this is a fallen world ruled by satan. A level of hell because it has a degree of separation from god.Jesus is saying not to be of the world.On the contrary, you could be like hillary clinton skining the faces off children, shoving them in boxes full of spiders, and waiting till they ask to die before killing them to sacrifice them to molech and drink their blood.
>>80071978This is the board that popularized the Chad vs Virgin meme. Chads not only is he goodlooking but blessed also with intelligence, status and material wealth. If you think it's an own on your part to think you can bypass all of their superiority with some kind of magical spiritual blessing believing in Jesus go for it but call it what it is: a cope.
