Bible Question: Should a Christian be a police officer? |
Bible Answer: 31 Matt 25:15 "To one he gave five talents, to another, two, and to another, one, each according to his own ability; and he went on his journey. 32 Matt 25:16 "Immediately the one who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and gained five more talents. 33 Matt 25:17 "In the same manner the one who had received the two talents gained two more. 34 Matt 25:20 "The one who had received the five talents came up and brought five more talents, saying, 'Master, you entrusted five talents to me. See, I have gained five more talents.' 35 Matt 25:22 "Also the one who had received the two talents came up and said, 'Master, you entrusted two talents to me. See, I have gained two more talents.' 36 Matt 25:28 'Therefore take away the talent from him, and give it to the one who has the ten talents.' The line I am looking for is skipped here. But one man hid his talent, and only had the same talent when Jesus asked for his talents back. As you see, he then took the talent away, because it wasn't used, in the faith that it could be developed. he had no faith with his talent. Whatever you choose to do with your life, if it is done for God's purpose, using your talents and skills for God, AND you are sure no to harm others out of malice or out of revenge, but rather to love and protect them, it would not be against God's law to do- because it is NOT using your skills and talents for God's purpose that God clearly is warning us against here. |
