Questions... unjuststeward.txtthread
I think I\'ve got a thorough understanding of your interpretation of this parable, thank you.
If this parable is teaching us God\'s principle for paying ministry expenses, why didn\'t Paul use it? (1 Cor.9:12-15)? He refused the \'right of support\' as an example to the flock. If he wanted to be an example of your view wouldn\'t he insist on support and how to get it from rich unbelievers?
Where are the unbelievers--why is Paul only talking to BELIEVERS of his \'right to support\' (which he did not use)? (1 Cor. 9:1-2)
Why does Paul praise the POOR Macedonians for their generosity when they gave \"beyond their ability...entirely on their own...\" and encourage the Corinthians to do the same? (2 Cor. 8:2,3,7,8)
Why is \"according to your means\" and \"according to what one has, not according to what he does not have\" worthy of praise? (2 Cor. 8:11,12)
Why is Paul\'s instruction to the Thessalonians completely opposite from your interpretation of the parable of the unjust steward? (1 Thess. 4:11,12 and 2 Thess. 3:6-12 esp. vs. 9)
Why did Jesus and the disciples allow Judas to hold the money bag even though they knew he was stealing from it? (For time\'s sake I can\'t reference it right now). What does that say about the import that Jesus put on money and the ministry? What or who was his faith in?
Is there an example or supportive teaching in scripture that supports or confirms your interpretation? What should we do with teachings and examples that seem to be contrary to your view?
