CORPORATE SIN! THE UNJUST MANAGER, CEO, MD.,WHO EXCELS IN HIS PERFORMANCE CONTRACT, WINNING TRUST OF THE COMPANY OWNER, BUT TURNED HELL MATERIAL.
TAKE SERIOUS TIME TO READ TO THE END. The message I bring here is not mine, neither my personal intellect/imaginations, but simply just explaining what Jesus Christ exactly taught his disciples. I completely beg to disagree with hypocrites deceiving themselves and the world, plus their charlatans who had twisted this Christ's teaching to support the idea that money obtained by fraud can be used to advance God's kingdom on earth. The text is Luke 16:1-13, King James Version Bible. Verse 1. "And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods." AND HE, Jesus Christ himself, not me as Israel Laban, his mere servant. SAID... UNTO HIS DISCIPLES, taught his believers who include us. THERE WAS A CERTAIN RICH MAN, a business tycoon, owner of group of companies, WHICH HAD A STEWARD, Greek Οικονομος, OIKONOMOS, from οικος, OIKOS, a house, or οικια, OIKIA, a family, and νεμω, MENO, I administer; a Chief Executive Officer, CEO, Managing Director, MD, who superintends all concerns of the companies, and report to the owner, having the products of the field, equipments, business transactions, decisions, manufacturing generally, and so on, put into his hands for this very purpose. THE SAME WAS ACCUSED OF HIM. Information was brought to the company owner who was his boss. This information was not gossip, allegations, for this Chief Executive Officer, Managing Director offered no defence against it. WASTED HIS GOODS. Had been profuse and profligate; and had embezzled, squandered his master's substance. This was criminal conduct, not neglect, neither ignorance of management. This man was committing fraud for selfish enrichment. Verse 2. "And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward." AND HE CALLED HIM, the company owner called the Chief Executive Officer, Managing Director face to face over the wicked conduct, issue. GIVE AN ACCOUNT OF THY STEWARDSHIP, produce thy books of receipts and disbursements, that I may see whether the accusation against thee be true or false. The original may be translated, GIVE UP THE MANAGEMENT, Greek τον λογον, TON LOGON, OF THE STEWARDSHIP. Verse 3. "Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed." THE STEWARD, that is the CEO, the MD. WHAT SHALL I DO? This man loved boardroom decisions, lucrative lifestyle, and lucrative salary given him by the company owner. FOR THE LORD TAKETH AWAY. The lord, Greek KURIOS, is the company owner, his employer, and not Jesus Christ. Taking the management job from THE STEWARD was depriving, taking life out of him. I CANNOT DIG - The CEO, MD, could not submit to become a common day-labourer, which was both a severe and base employment: TO BEG I AM ASHAMED. And as these were the only honest ways left him to procure a morsel of bread, survival and he would not submit to either, he found he must continue the system of KNAVERY, in order to provide for his idleness and luxury, or else starve. WOE TO THE MAN WHO GETS HIS BREAD IN THIS WAY! The curse of God must be on his head, and on his heart; in his basket, and in his store, fat bank accounts. He will forever remain client, as patient to hospitals, spending much on his treatment without success. Verse 4. "I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses." Realizing that him being fired is inevitable, the CEO, MD, had a plan to find support for his lucrative lifestyle. He focused on the way to make his former, company clients willing to offer him hospitality. THEY MAY RECEIVE ME - That is, the debtors and tenants, who paid their debts and rents, not in money, but in kind; such as wheat, oil, and other produce of their lands. Verse 5. "So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?" HE CALLED the company clients. There are four explanations regarding the conduct of this CEO, MD: (a) He dropped the price enough to ingratiate himself with the clients; (b) He removed the interests charged; (c) He removed commission on the transaction, and; (d) He reduced the debts. Verse 6. "And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty." A HUNDRED MEASURES OF OIL -Greek 'Ἑκατον βατους, HEKATON BATOUS, A hundred BATHS. The Hebrew בת BATH was the largest measure of capacity among Israelites, except the HOMER, of which it was the tenth part: see Ezekiel 45:11, 14. It is equal to the EPHAH, i.e. to SEVEN GALLONS AND A HALF of our measure. TAKE THY BILL - THY ACCOMPT, account - Greek το γραμμα, TO GRAMMA. The writing in which the debt was specified, together with the obligation to pay so much, at such and such times. This appears to have been in the hand-writing of the debtor, and signed by the steward, the CEO, MD: and this precluded imposition on each part. To prevent all appearance of forgery in this case, he is desired to write it over again, and to cancel the old engagement. In carrying on a running account with a tradesman, it is common among the Hindus for the buyer to receive from the hands of the seller a daily account of the things received; and according to this account, written on a slip of paper, and which remains in the hands of the buyer, the person is paid. This is exactly what is currently called INVOICE. Verse 7. "Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore." A hundred measures of wheat -Greek Ἑκατον κορους, HEKATON KOROUS, A HUNDRED CORS. Greek Κορος, KOROS, from the Hebrew כר COR, was the largest measure of capacity among the Hebrews, whether for solids or liquids. As the BATH was equal to the EPHAH, so the COR was equal to the HOMER. It contained about seventy-five gallons and five pints English. Verse 8. "And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light." THE LORD COMMENDED - Viz. the master, company owner of this unjust steward, CEO, MD. He spoke highly of the address and cunning of his iniquitous servant. He had, on his own principles, made a very prudent provision for his support; but his master no more approved of his conduct in this, than he did in his wasting his substance before. This CEO, MD excels in his performance contract by fraud, and his boss without the knowledge of this, had his confidence won. THE CHILDREN OF THIS WORLD - Such as mind worldly things only, without regarding God or their souls. A phrase which is used to designate the children of Lucifer, Satan, John 8:44. CHILDREN OF LIGHT - Such as are illuminated by the Holy Spirit of God, believers in Jesus Christ, and regard worldly things only as far as they may subserve the great purposes of their salvation, and become the instruments of good to others. But ordinarily the former evidence more carefulness and prudence, in providing for the support and comfort of this life, than the latter do in providing for another world. CHILDREN OF THIS WORLD ARE IN THEIR GENERATION WISER THAT THE CHILDREN OF LIGHT is a way of expressing, saying that the children of the devil, in their pursuit of wealth, money are smartly cunning, fraudsters, like Satan their father than believers in Jesus Christ. Verse 9. "And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations." I SAY UNTO YOU. This is Jesus Christ speaking. MAKE TO YOURSELVES FRIEND. To make a friend is to have the same spirit, compassionate, companion relation, indicating affection whether natural or unnatural according to the Greeks. THE MAMMON OF UNRIGHTEOUSNESS - Greek Μαμωνα της αδικιας, MAMONA TES ADIKIAS- literally, the MAMMON, or RICHES, OF INJUSTICE. Riches PROMISE MUCH, and PERFORM NOTHING: they excite HOPE and CONFIDENCE, and DECEIVE both: in making a man DEPEND on them for HAPPINESS, they rob him of the salvation of God and of eternal glory. For these reasons, they are represented as UNJUST and DECEITFUL. To insinuate that, if a man have acquired riches by unjust means, he is to sanctify them, and provide himself a passport to the kingdom of God, by giving them to the poor, or donating it as tithes or offerings to denominations, is a most horrid and blasphemous perversion of our Lord's words. God's kingdom cannot be advance by fraud, lies or deceptions. Ill gotten gain must be restored to the proper owners: if they are dead, then to their successors. WHEN YE FAIL - That is, when ye DIE. The Greek Text, Septuagint, LXX, use the word εκλειπειν, EKLEIPEIN, in this very sense, Jer 42:17, 22. So does Josephus, the Jewish historian (in his book Complete Works of Josephus) War, chap. iv. 1, 9. THEY MAY RECEIVE YOU. The people having the same spirit of fraud like yourself, your friends. INTO EVERLASTING INHABITATIONS, the place meant for you, your own place like Judas Iscariot, Acts 1:25. This place is hell, not heaven, where fellow fraudsters, crafty CEOs, MDs will welcome you to join them in the wailing and gnashing of teeth. The expression seems to be a Hebraism: - THEY MAY RECEIVE YOU,
