Unfaithfulness in the Unrighteous Mammon Prevails Kevin_Patsy

I am a deeply troubled believer in Christ Jesus harmed and long neglected by today\'s evil churches. If their leaders are true to the Word of God rather than apostates, usually an evil servant such as a Church Growth Movement pastor runs the show and dominates his needy, for which exceptionally severe judgement is coming (Matt. 24:45-51). If I find a church faithful in doctrine with a good servant, he usually disppoints me with his flock\'s utter unfaithfulness regarding the unrighteous mammon, that is, worldly wealth. They won\'t even let me teach Luke 16!-- a critical passage without which they will continue to refuse my requests in the face of Jesus\' own words (Matt. 5:42, 6:42, 7:7, and 18:5-7) for fear of being made poorer. I condemn the stinginess of today\'s American churches in Jesus Christ in His holy Name! Let us examine Luke 16:9, the actual command from our Lord, to be truly obeyed. Prepare for pandemonium among the churches! Let it be known that many texts of Luke 16 are corrupt in verse 9. Worse yet, Christian authors have prophesied falsely from the corrupt text translated into one of many English translations. Scribes or printers in the seventeenth century shortened the Greek word for \"(when) ye fail,\" eklipe^te, to \"(when) it fails,\" that is, \"when the mammon of unrighteousness fails\" (eklipe^i / eklipe^). Even secular historians understand the strife which the addition of an iota into the word \"homoousios\" in the Nicene Creed caused; here we see a change of an important personal ending in sacred Scripture. This mistake, taking \"eklipe^i\" with perhaps half a T and no E as a finished word in place of \"eklipe^te,\" will lead many readers of Luke 16 to misunderstand Jesus\' command as follows: They will see need to prepare for the depletion of the wealth of unrighteousness rather than the need to prepare for THEIR OWN financial failures! I translate \"eklipe^te\" as \"whenever ye may lose your homes.\" Many believers even among authors have interpreted from corrupt texts and concluded that the command is for each believer to befriend many mostly poor Christians for welcomes in heaven for the afterlife by means of ill-gotten wealth rather than for each congregation to befriend several specifically wealthy people out in the world in the here and now for future welcomes in everlasting dwellings belonging to unbelievers and still available during persecutions when our homes get confiscated or when God calls us to give our houses away (Matt. 5:42) so that we Christians fail financially. Burn the books of false prophecy, O Lord Almighty! I pray. Jesus\' point in the commanding part (verses 9 through 13) is fourfold: (1) We are commanded by him to have members of our congregations meet and befriend the wealthy people out in the world and not free to accept the ways of the worldly poor as God\'s will for His people. (2) If we fail to obey this command, like most Americans in Christ, Jesus asks who will give us endowments for His work, and for most of us nobody will. Therefore, we see most American churches operating on tight budgets, still stingy if they have tens of thousands of dollars in the bank. All American Christians in my experience have feared financial loss whenever I manifested my neediness or begged, and nobody has ever surmounted these fears in my experience. Still, Jesus Christ wills that we have access to wealth... if we obey Him regarding Luke 16:9. (3) Jesus refuses to trust anyone who complains, \"If only I had...\" as an excuse for sin. If you had an enormous fortune, would you willingly give it away to a mental patient who dare impoverish you with his insane request? Only the congregation which is faithful in the least, in the unrighteous mammon, could faithfully go broke out of love for their Lord, and it is just such a congregation which Jesus Christ would entrust with plenty. Are you aware of such a congregation? (4) Finally, we cannot serve both God and Mammon (Money). The current situation with Church Growth Movement leaders keeping as many people as possible sitting in their pews on Sundays as possible and serving the world through the week rather than sending as many people out into foreign nations to spread the Gospel is just terrible. I can\'t wait for the Master of Matt. 24:45-51, the state legislatures and the governing boards of churches and hospitals if not Jesus Christ Himself, to wise up and return to amputate each \"evil servant,\" assign each his portion with the hypocrites for teaching to the effect that \"you should be terribly heartbroken for asking us for anything\" in Jesus\' name despite Matt. 7:7, kick them out into the cold outer darkness of homelessness and weeping and gnashing of teeth, and even then beat or flog them, according to Luke\'s account, according to the extent of their knowledge of their wrongdoing in charge. Worst are the pastors who turn God\'s needy over to hostile psychiatry to be bound and wracked and ruined and caused to sin habitually with \"witchcraft\" (Gal. 5:19, Gk.; Matt. 18:5-7). I have suffered in perilous poverty and abominable affliction for far too long to forgive these evil men, and I cry out for faithfulneess in the unrighteous mammon!-- and for judgement of the evil servants! Our Father Who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. The kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven...
