Bible Note: Dear Luis, Okay, I have to work from the basics up, so to properly understand, I must ask more questions. Thank you for your patience. The word "mammon" is used by Christ in three instances. One of those instances are "no man can serve two masters" (Matthew 6:24 and Luke 16:13). Since Christ was clearly lucid, coherent, and rational, we must assume that if he used the same word again, he meant the same thing. Let me ask, therefore, how your personal revelation interprets the following verses (the other places where Christ uses the word mammon): And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations. He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own? (Luke 16:9-12) In Him, Doc |
