Paradoxical tentalents.txt
James J suggests this parable has "the master" (God) asking for immoral earnings from his servants. Even the suggestion to put the money in the bank and get interest would have been against the Torah law against usury.
The more you think about this parable as it would have sounded to the people of the time, the more strange it seems.
I think the chances of us getting at what Jesus actually mean, if he ever said it, are slim.
Still, like many parables it can be made to fit in with what ever current thinking is, and thereby demonstrate that that current thinking is based on "Biblical principles". Or am I being cynical?
