Gregor,

Did the Lord commend the unjust steward???!!

His master did, but does master <=> God? Everbody assumes this, but why must it be so?

9 I tell you, use worldly wealth to gain friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings.

Perhaps the above verse has been misinterpreted -- Maybe Jesus was speaking cynically of the folly of the unjust steward's conniving.

That is, Such kind of dealing will not get you into heaven, though it may preserve you a little while on this earth. This is the only thing that makes sense to me given the scriptures following.

How could what the unjust steward did be considered commendable. He covered up his misdeeds with a lie. Such would only be commendable with the sons of this age, IMO.

God desires honest hearts.

Interested in others opinions.

Regards
Barry
