„He also said to His disciples: “There was a certain rich man who had a steward, and an accusation was brought to him that this man was wasting his goods. So he called him and said to him, ‘What is this I hear about you? Give an account of your stewardship, for you can no longer be steward.’ Then the steward said within himself, ‘What shall I do? For my master is taking the stewardship away from me. I cannot dig; I am ashamed to beg. ‘I have resolved what to do, that when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.’ So he called every one of his master’s debtors to him, and said to the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’ “And he said, ‘A hundred measures of oil.’ So he said to him, ‘Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.’ “Then he said to another, ‘And how much do you owe?’ So he said, ‘A hundred measures of wheat.’ And he said to him, ‘Take your bill, and write eighty.’ “So the master commended the unjust steward because he had dealt shrewdly. For the sons of this world are more shrewd in their generation than the sons of light.” Luke 16:1-8
This
is one of the texts, that has incited the greatest disputes inside
and outside Christendom and was one of the reasons, why the pharisees
hated the guts of Jesus Christ. In Luke 16:14 the Gospel clearly
cites that the pharisees derided
Christ
in so saying for they took great prominence into being the lawful
citizen no matter the fact that they lived under roman dominion and
occupation. So a teacher who teaches the simpletons of society that
it is ok to steal and con – was not to their liking. Of course many
Christians, including me, in my times in the seminaries, have tried
to evade this passage by simply stating that the steward was
wrongfully accused ant then did all that – but that doesn't make
him any less of a thief, the problem what Jesus is addressing is not
stealing and disloyalty in itself, though it is mentioned, but human
reason while being a shrewd man. The problem is the necessity of
“white lies”. The steward in this passage IS a con-artist and is
really stealing form the coffers of his Master and Lord and is
rightfully accused of wasting goods. So his Master had any reason to
fire him – what makes this story significant is, that he didn't
try to deny that fact but started to bribe all the clients of his
master who had a debt with him. So that he doesn't have to do hard
labor or beg. Being a man who wasted his Masters goods, he had no
hopes of being liked by the simpletons of society, so going into the
workforce of Israel also meant, that he must suffer the scolding and
social bullying of the other workers, for being once rich and now
being poor. So it is not unfathomable that he doesn't like that
outlook in his life. So he chooses to bribe the clients of his
Master, so they would treat him in their houses. Its still like
begging but the socially more accepted form of that. Because he is
able to think shrewd and that can be of those clients advantage. This
is exactly how capitalism works these days, and why bankers and
technocrats who made the great mess on wall street weren't held
responsible. They knew too much and could damage the infrastructure
of banking too much if they there to be held responsible. The
government was simply too scared of them to let them get pissed, so
this is why they there not accused of any crimes and got away with
nothing. They could have done the same thing as this steward did.
So how many “white lies” can
an economy suffer? If to think that the household in this parable
there your life in God and the squandering of goods your sinfulness,
then what about “white lies”. Those things that people do, to
feel better, that they aren't actually lying but are doing the good
thing around the aspect of good, but not inside of it. Like blues
plays around the note and not the note itself.
What do I even mean by all that?
To understand, what I mean, let us go to the normal Christian life
and to the normal Christian thinking. Christians constantly use
“white lies” to comfort themselves so not to feel wrong in front
of the law. The first White lie that everybody has heard is:
1.
“If
you are a Christian – you are forever saved, for the Cross of
Christ lasts forever for your transgressions as long you can repent
from your sin.”
How
does that look out in the parable? The steward is accused of
squandering, admits it, and says he's sorry and expects for divine
mercy for being a meek child of God. The Master looks with pity and
disgust, that he had no idea, that he's steward was so criminally
blond and has him put into prison til he pays the bill. Every child
has learned from his/her parents that just saying sorry does not
resolve anything – you have to feel like it, and sometimes you have
to make up for it. The problem in Christianity is that we are not
able to make up for it no matter what we do – so saying our sorry
because Jesus loves us anyway is extremely disrespectful and
insultive. So if you speed as a Christian and call yourself a child
of God so to avoid a ticket from the officer, it is better you don't
do it in Estonia. In some regions you can be fined the double amount
for being Christian and speeding – especially if you are a pastor
or mentor of the church. The more renowned you are in the social life
of Estonia, the graver the punishment can be for you, then you admit
it the wrong way. I wont regard you as a friend if you come ranting
like this: “Hey
ho I just bribed a police officer into submission while speeding,
because I called myself a child of God and a pastor and he had pity
on me.” Then
I would respond to you like that: “This will hurt only for a
second!!” and you will wake up in the ER room and I will file a
comment at the police why I battered you near death. Lets try to
avoid such personal encounters of the fifth kind, because I don't
like aliens. And such Christians are very alien to me. So please
don't do this in your life. If you wanna speed with your car, don't
admit that you are a Christian and don't come bragging about to me!
Period!
2.
“Your
brother has to forgive you your sins seven or seventy seven times
seven times for being a faithful follower per day for Jesus told you
so!”
Ri-ight! This is one of the
reasons people actually rightfully hate the guts of Christians.
Again, just as on the first motion – nobody has to forgive you
anything, if you don't feel and act like you're sorry. Sorry is not a
magic word that allows you to ditch responsibility. While you are
expected not to hold grudges against your brother like you are not
expected to live on steam all the time constantly reminding yourself
who has wronged you how all the time, because that could give you a
hole in your heart and you could suffer from high blood pressure;
cancer; paranoia and depression. Not to mention that people don't
like to live around a man or woman who constantly reminds them what
they have done wrong – get over it. You got a life too, and not
your hatred. Vengeance is God's stuff not because he is so jealous
about it, but because it's not a healthy thing to constantly feel
about. And sometimes we get things wrong and later are ourselves
sorry for punishing the wrong guy for something. Don't punish
yourself and others by understanding the Gospel wrong – have a
responsible life and act. No Master of a household shall forgive his
steward seven nor seventy seven times seven times per day! Ever! Or
he goes broke!!
3.
“You
are not allowed to get mad, if you get mad, you are not a Christian!”
Please see previous section,
thank you! Jesus also got mad on people, but he never held a grudge
because of that, though he's opponents always did.
4.
“If
I lie to my family; parents; husband; children; workplace – it is
acceptable, if I buy them presents afterwards or then they don't find
out.”
Reflect back into parable – The
Master is the simple kind like the main character of the book “Idiot”
from Dostojevsky. Who was scientifically engineered to be always good
and not evil. As a side effect he was unable to perceive lies and
dishonesty by simply believing EVERYTHING someone did say to him,
being the subject of abuse by all the people around him. And now the
steward, while using his masters money buys him presents and the
Master really doesn't find out and gets bankrupt and they both end on
the street and the steward has to find a new idiot to feed on. Nice!
So can we buy off God the same way, fellow Christians? Any takers?
No? I didn't think so…
5.
I
can have more wives as a man of Christ if I can take care of them for
look how many wives did Solomon or David had!”
So you are a king, in a country
who's culture supports the tradition of having multiple wives and all
your wives and all the people around you, know it that you have them
like that, and are ok with it? Are you ok that your wives could have
multiple husbands too, then they are Christian? No? Why not!?
Reflect onto parable. The steward
was not just a steward for one Master but to many Masters in Israel,
to waste goods, they found out and confronted him and slew him, so he
could not tarnish their names ever further, then they went after his
family (wife and children) if he had them and sold them into slavery
to get what little money could be gained from them. Not a happy
ending to say the least…
If people would know and see,
most things would not happen inside the church – it's the very
reason, that people don't know, that some men or women allow
themselves such rights, what are not they right. One of the
subroutines of that white lie is the tradition in Baptism, that if
you are converting to Christianity and were divorced from your wife
you can remarry without any hissing and snarling by the church, for
anything happened in your unchristian life does not apply to your
christian life because of the letters of St. Paul talking of that
topic. Oh God, give me strength and faith against these kind of
Christians. Because of men like these, divorce is on earth, then God
meant that people should make up not brake up. Because of men like
these, who think a woman is a ona-hole to be rented for a time and to
be frown away then you don't like it anymore. Marriage is Marriage is
Marriage. If you divorce you make it possible that people can commit
adultery with your husband/wife – if you are marrying a divorced
husband/wife you are commiting adultery. It does not matter who your
other side there – if he/she was Christian or not; white; yellow;
black or red. You loved him/her and now you don't and now you got to
be a Christian and now you marrying a second time and need God's
mercy for doing so, and not sublimation, because juridically speaking
everything is according to the bible. No, its not!!
Reflect back onto parable: The
steward takes everything what he can find in his Masters house of
value and he could carry and makes a run for it to escape judgment –
is sent back by the next Master who receives him, for he is just a
petty thief who is on the run and gets scolded and humiliated on the
marketplace in public. Has to give everything back, his family, if he
has one, renounces him – even his parents. And he dies alone,
because no one dares to offer to such work or food. If he gets stoned
to death that would be considered mercy, because then he wouldn't
have to starve to death. He's only hope is to find a place to go
there people don't know him and start over under a new name with hard
labor.
6.
“I
can sacrifice my son; family; friends to have servitude with God!”
So you're a prophet now, huh?
Would you hire a man as your worker, then you know that he has a
drinking problem; that he is disobedient and don't listen to the say
of his peers and bullies other workers around while molesting the
female workers? Well? The prophets of God are prophets not because
they are great and awesome – they are owned by God just like the
pimp owns his bitches. Are you that much possessed by God and did He
say unto you “Sacrifice this and that in your life!” If not, than
why are you bragging?! Does they know too that you could sacrifice
them so easily? I mean – how many times do you have it your way on
a given day? A prophet NEVER has his way EVER!! He is as free as a
white sheet of paper in the hands of a writer. He's only freedom is
stand and receive the words of God like written on him, and if he
cannot give them like that, then he is cast away into the garbage. A
prophet of God once was asked to make food on shit and he complained
to God that he had never eaten unholy food and was allowed to use
only cow shit and not human shit so he would not feel so unholy about
it. But the order stood firm. A prophet had to name his children
Maher Salal Haas-Bas; “Booty” and “Strife” for at they
getting of age Israel would suffer humiliating defeat at his enemies
and exiled into slavery. Was that nice as a father or being children
of such father? But you say you wanna be such Prophet? FUCK YOU
SQUAREWAYS AND SQREW YOUR KNEECAP!!! I don't even consider you human.
You
can do this only if God asks you to, but as long God is not hounding
you with such requests, shut the fuck up and don't give Him any ideas
your family and household would not like. Being a prophet is the same
as being possessed by an evil spirit for the word in Greek exousiai
meaning
being filled with does not imply good or bad it goes either way and
it means nothing else is inside of you except that thing what is
inside of you. And only he has a lip on what shall happen and not
you! You wanna have a hamburger and Jesus says no – who has the
last say? The prophet is the pussy of God and God is his Daddy!
Understand and don't fuck with yourself!!
And
on this subjects was the steward while being shrewd commended, for he
didn't play nice and accepted being vile and went on with being that.
Because of that men and women of the world have a greater chance of
going to heaven as such, for they know exactly who they are, but
Christians and Jews by lying to themselves they white lies not, for
you can't lie to God. The moment you have the thought of lying to
God, God already sees that and then he sees your lie and you
believing that lie, that it worked and your sublimation and forget
that this lie was not a lie but the truth for not being checked
instantly. That's 5 counts of lying as one sin in your eye – you
will only ask for forgiveness for one count and all the other 4 shall
go unanswered and you will go to Heaven? Ri-ight! Why would God have
a disloyal unfaithful servant. Such a servant is like a katana
without a hilt. God wants to use you and you cut his hand and he lets
you fall. A meek servant is like a gladius with a hilt – while a
gladius is a close range short sword not capable with competing with
a katana, if it had a hilt. Compared to the gladius the katana is a
long range weapon what will cut the gladiator to shreds long before
he manages to lunge into combat range. But that will never happen
wihtout a hilt. So why should God care about some Christians
spiritual abilities, then that doesn't include loyalty to God? Going
to church and paying your 10% isn't necessarily loyalty –
con-artists can do that do, if they want to woo somebody out of their
belongings. Take the nice out of their lives and these so called
Christians will be gone from church like the morning dew in the broad
sun-light. Most of the people are Christian only because its their
brand and it earns them profit. If that brand wont work they would
find a new and better brand like the businessmen they are, not stick
with the old and go Titanic with their lives. Most Christians don't
wanna suffer until the end but want merits out of their faith.
If
you are evil, than accept that and be evil – don't lie to yourself
that you are good. Christians are always lying to themselves that
they are good! If they there good, they wouldn't need the mercy of
God to live on. A good man lives by his own right not by God's right
because his right makes him God over his life! A Christian lives by
Gods right because he accepted being dead in this world for his sins
what brought Christ onto the cross (baptistry) and resurrected by
God's Mercy and not Justice!! Mercy basically means that you failed a
test in school and the teacher granted you a second run on it though
you normally would not imply for that because you deserved to fail
class and repeat it. For the other students didn't need mercy to have
that test done. So how can that man, who had mercy scold someone for
failing his/her test and saying: “You must repeat this class now,
for you failed!” I mean, I haven't seen a single Christian who is
righteous in front of the law and yet the Christians are those who
demand to uphold the ten commandments! Why!!? They can't even uphold
them by themselves and now those who aren't even Christians should be
able to? How!!??! If they never witness that in a Christians life?
Get out of town, bitch! And take your dog with you!!
If you're good, then you're
godlike and not like the rest of humanity. That means, people should
be able to see that in your life without you ever even mentioning
that to them. I mean a 500 euro bill doesn't have to tell it to you
what he is – you will grab him with fanatic frenzy in your eye
looking in all directions if you see him lying on the pavement nobody
around but you, happy that you found it! Only if something is wrong
with that 500 euro bill would you need to say out loud what it is.
The
same goes to Christians being Christian on the internet or anywhere –
why would they say that out loud that they are. Can't they other
words prove it by itself? You never say: “I am drinking milk now!”
to your family if you are drinking milk, because they already know.
Why would you say the simple and obvious things if people are able to
understand normally? The steward did it simple and obvious and was
thus received as such – and that angered the pharisees. Because
they didn't like a teacher teaching that to the simpletons out of
fear, that the simpletons would grow too smart-ass and would not
accept their business nor teachings anymore. The pharisees constantly
feared that Rome would come and take everything away from them.
That's why they did not like Jesus! That in their eyes Jesus was
corrupting the people just as Socrates was corrupting the youth of
Athens. He made them know they don't know. A pharisee wants to be the
master of faith to have his PhD or something else in Theology so he
would have priority to charge for his motions he does while teaching
or anything. But Jesus taught something else, what didn't needed the
central body of church to be in its place. And for that he was
crucified – granting people the torrent version of Faith to God!
What made pharisees so pissed was that Jesus claimed that they can't
serve money and God at the same time. I mean they there holding the
offerings of Israel – the sodokite in the temples and they in the
synagogues. So how on earth could Jesus say, that money and God
doesn't fare well! But if you corrupt yourself than you open yourself
for black-mail; for discovery that strips you from your office so you
will loose all – so you cannot see that money as your own. Or else
you will go insane like a dog in a supermarket in front of a meat
counter. For a dog it is not understandable that there can be so much
meat and nobody is eating that. If you see your offices finances as
somewhat your own you present yourself to the same danger. Today you
think this is mine; tomorrow you think I have some of mine. These are
the stages a teenage shoplifter goes through before he can steal. 1)
I want candy 2) I don't have the money to buy that candy 3) The shop
has so much candy, but I don't 4) It is fair to have candy as a child
5) The shop wont go broke for me having this small quantity of candy
6) the boy steals candy sometimes they get caught and learn the
lessons sometimes not and start stealing greater goods because they
body was introduced with epinefrine (fear) and adrenaline (excite)
and it felt good. All the fiefs in the world are in fact adrenaline
and epinefrine junkies, for they didn't get caught or even if they
were they felt it wasn't so big of a deal to stop that thought. I see
it every day in my office being a security officer in a supermarket.
Mothers with children coming to steal toys because they can't afford
them but they child deserves them and the shop is evil for not giving
em for free; grannies who want to bribe their grand-children so they
would hang out more with them, but don't afford with their pensions
that kind of love; Christians offering cheap redemption for the
expense of living a certain way and dressing a certain way and acting
a certain way while being unable to perceive the other who don't live
like that as even humans. Do they own the Heavens that indulgences
should grant anything in Heaven? What ever did Martin Luther say
about indulgence? Money does not earn you anything in Heaven! Nor do
good deeds – you don't praise your axe for being a good axe and
doing his job great. You never even mention it. So why would God
praise a Christian for Christian conduct? You only did what was
expected of you, so what! If somebody chops wood with an axe he says:
“I chopped wood!” not “My axe chopped wood!” the axe holds no
personality in here and neither do the Christians in front of God so
how on earth can somebody be angered that a non-Christian does not
understand or does not care of him being a Christian and not
respecting that. I mean, Christ was constantly disrespected – did
he stop? No! Do Christians stop out of disrespect? Hell yeah!! That's
what they do! How many Christians do you know who turn the other
cheek? If you slap a Christina in the real world on the cheek he goes
world war II on you and treats you like Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I
never saw a Christian who can turn the other cheek very well. I never
liked that quote in the bible that I should be doing this – one of
the reasons being bullied in school, for attending Sunday school and
the other classmates knew about it. I always tried to fight back and
not turn the other cheek, so they didn't believe my Christianity very
much and I wasn't baptized back then and it didn't feel nice having
it many ways. First feeling down for being bullied; second feeling
down for having to turn the other cheek; third to not turn it and
feeling down; fourth to feel the impact that I wasn't believed to be
a christian there and feeling absolutely down. Just because I took
the stance of a proud warrior who saw other people as a possible
target to prove his faith against. Of course they had to fight
against that. If I had understood turning the other cheek correctly
back then, I wouldn't be so hostile with my body language and other
stuff and would have found more understanding and friends. Turning
the other cheek is like turning the next page and not getting
stumbled on what happened on the previous page – not because you
are weak and they are strong; but because they can be better, and you
allow them to show themselves from a better point of view or don't
care if they don't coas you will move on while they are having that
problem and not you. It means don't accept alien shit in your brains
– don't eat shit and die on it! Why would you accept any offense as
though it is yours? Do you really wanna own your pain; your hurt;
your humiliation, when you are saying to yourself: “This is
happening because I am something bad and I have something less than
he so I must feel bad about it…!” Why?? Why would you lie to
yourself like that? Most bullies can bully because they victims don't
fight back and accept it. A bully is always in fear of public
renounce, so every time you play sheep, you encouraging the bully to
bully you even more, because he felt good being godlike and you his
subject. This is the reason why bullies should be constantly scolded
by the public so they wouldn't take it for granted that some people
are fair game for them because nobody really cares. Also The bully
should be given positive reinforcement – so he could channel his
angers in more positive ways, so he doesn't feel like he has to bully
something around. Bullies bully because they feel jealous, because
somebody gets undeserved attention from the teachers or others, so he
proves by bullying that this kid is not so great at all.
If a boy calls you a bitch the
proper response is not cry but: “What? You wanna fuck me that you
see it that way, or you wanna date me?” give that shit back to the
asshole and don't accept it!
If the boy scolds you for being
fat like a pregnant chick - “Yeah! I am pregnant of you, what
should we name yours?” Also “I wanna be the big moma in the opera
who sings last!”
If
you are ridiculed to be four eyes (glasses) “Glasses earn more than
dicks!” There is always a calm solution to not accept the shit of
somebody else who is not understanding you and labeling you. Why
would you stop living your life for not finding belief in somebody
else? You don't need the bully nor anybody to believe in you to live
on. Let them pass and move on. Chaaaarge! It's your life and Your
Self not theirs!
