Default Re: $600/week Unemployment is Keeping People From Working - 07-25-2020, 11:13 PM

I see the $1,200 stimulus and extra $600 in unemployment payments as a "seed fund", much like the parable Jesus told of the servants being given talents.

The first two servants double their talents, bringing their totals up to 10 talents, and 4 talents, respectively. The last servant buries the talent, keeping it safe for his master. When the master returns, he scolds the one servant. In this parable, talent could be seen as a representation of hard work and money.

Matthew 25: 26 "His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:"

Those that were wise took that stimulus money and invested it in the stock market, doubling their money and making Jesus and Trump happy. Those that were slothful and wicked took that gift and squandered it on rent and food.

Quote:
Matthew 25:29 " For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath."



Those that squandered their generous gifts on rent and food should not be given even more to squander, but instead should have what little they have taken away.

Like the talents, Jesus wants us to use the tools we have at our disposal to get even more. The stock market wasn't around back when Jesus walked the Earth but it is now. I'm sure this is how Jesus would have treated sick people if the stock market and privatized Healthcare, giving everyone the opportunity to make a tidy profit to cover their healthcare costs were around in His time:
