I look forward to when you will cover the first parable in this chapter about the shrewd manager. It appears the manager is commended for being deceitful! I don’t understand Jesus’ urging his followers to be shrewd with wealth in this life nor what that means.
As far as the rich man and Lazarus — I’ve been reading the book “I am Malala.” I’ve been saddened by their teaching that a man who would die for the cause (suicide bombing in particular) will receive 72 virgins. What about female suicide bomber?! What is her incentive? It seems a demonic teaching created by men (for whom unlimited sex is the motivation?). It saddens me to think of the many young persons who have been taken in by such an awful teaching
My goal is to cover every pericope in the Gospels before we’re done, although ones that have paralells in other Gospels may only be covered once. I’ll keep your request in mind when we come back to this chapter in about three months.
