>>22722312>12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?If he wasted his finite human life, which was a gift from God, why should he expect eternal life, which would last him forever, but which he must have given to him, likewise, by God? He wasn't grateful for one, he won't be grateful for the other. He may as well go to hell, there is no place for him in heaven.
>13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.Beware the love of money. It cannot save you and is not God. If you make an idol of gain and wealth and power it will cause you to turn away from God, because your own rebellious heart will displace the love of God to make room for the love of material possession. If you find that you are coveting, you should pray for honesty and contentment, so that you don't fall into temptation. Your prayer will be answered, and the Holy Spirit will help you.
>14 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.The pharisees, self appointed leaders, were so sinful they got angry about everything Jesus said. It was not thin skinned of them, they were, rather guilty of every crime imaginable, and intelligent enough to realize the implication of what Jesus taught. There was no place for them to hide their sins, and they were not sorry, so the derided Jesus instead of repent. People haven't changed much since then.
>15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.The things in the Pharisees hearts were idolotry, sins, lusts, and self righteousness.
"Good without god" would have been their motto, as is the case with silverman today.
