John I'm a bit confused..help me out. Jesus' parables about "having" and gaining more (or rather, being "given" more) I've always equated with the blessed people. (not evil usurists). That is, they've been given the secret to the kingdom by God (and a down payment on the kingdom to come) by the Father...But contrariwise, contrariwise, those who have nothing now (Pharisees),,even what they "think" they have will be taken away in the future. How am I misinterpreting this? Thanks in advance.

@tensforme How am I misinterpreting this?

Jct: My exegesis on why the parable of the talents is Jesus telling us how to stiff our usurers is at my site called poembibl dot htm and there's a prose version in scc3 dot htm in the court case to the Supreme Court of Canada. Do you really think Heaven has alleys where men weep and gnash their teeth? Where the master has the servant slain in front of him (parable of the minas).

Jesus simply threw them off his parable by saying "the kingdom of heaven is like" and then he described the Hell we're stuck in because usury makes Heaven into a Hell. Ending the positive feedback on debt makes Hell into a Heaven.

They're springing up everywhere. Africa trading with mobile-phone minutes, Arabia with mobile-phone card credits, Hours in Ithaca, Greencredits in LETS,  Facebook, Twitter, Craigslist, offering social currencies to their databases, the banks get no interest. Use of interest-free time-based currency is unstoppable.

@kingofthepaupers Is there such a thing as; Interest-Free Currencies ? (Usury-free)..We would have to print our own fiat Currency, and as the Government allows the Banksters to print our Currency, therefore we would have to get rid of the Government (system) first !...All of which i'm in favor of...Peace..

@freedombiteback

Jct: And we don't even need to go after the usurers, just start our own usury-free economic life-boat and let their ship go on sinking for lack of customers who are now switching to online or other interest-free currencies.

@kingofthepaupers King James Bible; Ezekiel 18:13:

Hath given forth upon usury, and hath taken increase: shall he then live? he shall not live: he hath done all these abominations; he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon him...Thank you for Defending the Faith..Peace.

Wow, only 3 comments?

Very clever, and very sound.

Be well.

Jct: He not only identified Hell: the Rich taking interest from the Poor, but he also identified Heaven: the Rich helping the Poor with interest-free loans. Paul Corr II, 8:14!!!

There is nothing intrinsically wrong with "fiat" money as long as you can pay your taxes for the services paid with it.

Thank You. I have always said fiat money, and interest, and usury, were evil and so called Christians who engage in taxes, and investments, and bank accounts that give interest, and Social Security, were all un-Christian values and they were engaging in un-Christian conduct. This gives a totally different perspective on Jesus on the Cross. He was killed by the bankers! This rock's on so many levels! Jesus died to secure our natural rights to substance as money which ensures freedom & peace!
