TRADING TALENTS SHARING


Tradeing talents is shareing what you have learned. Not dictating your belief to others. Or demanding replies to foolish questions.

Matt 25:14-30
14 "For the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them.
15 "And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey.
16 "Then he who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents.
17 "And likewise he who had received two gained two more also.
18 "But he who had received one went and dug in the ground, and hid his lord's money.
19 "After a long time the lord of those servants came and settled accounts with them.
20 "So he who had received five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, 'Lord, you delivered to me five talents; look, I have gained five more talents besides them.'
21 "His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'
22 "He also who had received two talents came and said, 'Lord, you delivered to me two talents; look, I have gained two more talents besides them.'
23 "His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'
24 "Then he who had received the one talent came and said, 'Lord, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered seed.
25 'And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. Look, there you have what is yours.'
26 "But his lord answered and said to him, 'You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed.
27 'So you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received back my own with interest.
28 'Therefore take the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten talents.
29 'For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away.
30 'And cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'
(NKJ)
Matt 8:33-9:1
33 Then those who kept them fled; and they went away into the city and told everything, including what had happened to the demon-possessed men.
34 And behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus. And when they saw Him, they begged Him to depart from their region.
CHAPTER 9
1 So He got into a boat, crossed over, and came to His own city.
(NKJ)
Matt 10:5-6
5 These twelve Jesus sent out and commanded them, saying: "Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of the Samaritans.
6 "But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Matt 10:23-24
23 "When they persecute you in this city, flee to another. For assuredly, I say to you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
24 "A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.
Luke 10:8-12
8 "Whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you.
9 "And heal the sick there, and say to them, 'The kingdom of God has come near to you.'
10 "But whatever city you enter, and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say,
11 'The very dust of your city which clings to us we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God has come near you.'
12 "But I say to you that it will be more tolerable in that Day for Sodom than for that city.
1 Pet 1:5-7
5 who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials,
7 that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ,
1 Pet 4:9-11
9 Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.
10 As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
11 If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
(NKJ)


I have a logical question here. And I might also add where I'm at in my walk. I went through the three years of the milk understanding (guessing at what the verses mean carnally). And I went through the 11 years of the meat (purging my mind of all carnality and reasoning). Then I started coming to these revelations in my mind (total verses one after another from all over the new testament). And I have been receiving these revelations for 25 years (on all subjects that pertain to the new testament). Now I went through this walk just between me and the Holy Spirit. I have received over 2500 of these revelations. Now by walking through it without a person guiding me, I just assumed that everyone else went through their walk in about the same way. I have led many to the Holy Spirit and they go through their walk in pretty much the same way I did. I can actually see where they are at in their walk, and witness accordingly.
But when I got on the net there is a whole new out look on the bible and its meanings. And the people that I meet on the net seem angry and confused at what I share with them. I share what I have received and how I received it and who I received it from. As far as I know this is tradeing talents. I am always ready for anyone who can show me what comes next. But what I seem to get out of people is criticizm. I myself dont have any emotions or feelings anymore about what anyone says, but I sure get criticized by others which are obviously emotional.and angry. Now when they get like this the Holy Spirit tells me they are envious or jealous. And when I ask, they deny it in a very unchristian way. Now as far as what I have learned or minister to others. I tell them remember this that deceived means that you believe something is right when it is actually wrong, or you believe that something is wrong when it is actually right. But know this that no one can know they are deceived, if you know you are deceived then you cant be deceived. So I am always ready to look at the evidence that they present. But if it doesnt pertain to the subject, or it isnt in a verse then I know they are just guessing carnally. But if it is a verse and it is used in a manner that glorifies Christ or the new testament then I turn to the Holy Spirit to bear witness to it. And if He bears witness to it then I accept the help as Spiritual. But if He bears witness to it that it is carnal or from the milk then I share what He has given me to those doing the criticizing. And we are back to tradeing talents. I never look at anything someone shares with me as bad for me. But alot of other people get emotional and rebel against me for sharing.
So my question is: Am I the only one on here that is here to trade talents? And is everyone on here only on here to teach? And is there any humility on the net? And if anyone else has went further down their walk than I have mine then please show me your revelations so I can compare them to mine?
I am humble enough to admit I cant walk on water yet. I did curse a tree and it wasnt plucked up, matter of fact it took one week for the tree to even die. I see away to much self exalting pride on the net. And I dont see enough tradeing talents.

Arguing and debating is when you try to change the others ideas. Through intimidation or name calling. Trading talents is when you share what you believe, while allowing the others to make up their own minds about your opinion.

Made up.

Why don't you just believe the Bible as written?

I do believe the bible as written, that is what has taken me to the Holy Spirit that only quotes the written Word, The Holy Spirit took me to the revelations of Jesus Christ which is the written Word.

You are another one who's carnal mind has run away with you.

Your "trading talents" theory is bogus; as are the vast majority of the opinions that you post here.

You have a right to your opinion even if it is wrong. So I don't want to change it. But lets not turn this into a debate. Lets just agree to disagree.

I also have the right to be right ... and I'm right about you.

Let's just agree that you should no longer post here. Your posts are a waste of time and space.

Sounds more like you read one of my revelations and you cant stand the guilt. You know you don't have to read them. We all know the truth hurts. Its suppose to.

So my question is: Am I the only one on here that is here to trade talents?
Probably on this point. TOL is more about discussion, heated or otherwise. Doctrine is important and so I'm happy to be a part of a forum where it is hammered out between us like iron sharpening iron. That is, I think TOL has its place. On that note, I 'think' TOL is different for you than it is for other people. Knight opened the doors long ago with the idea that it wouldn't always be pretty. I tend to think it is for the rough and tumble types BUT I've also appreciated anybody making me think. Even you've had a few nemesis' who've given you a good run on contemplation and thinking over things. I 'think' TOL is a way to get chunks knocked off that accumulated, so for me, a bit more like Spring Cleaning of the New man's house, as it were.

And is everyone on here only on here to teach?
Well, it isn't trading, but rather trying to allow for the dross to be burned away in the fire. We don't always need the heat, however. I don't recommend TOL as the only Christian interaction in your life. If you spend your days reading a book at a time from the Bible, I think you are better served. I do appreciate your using search features, but it is a good idea to read your Bible all the way through once every one or two years.

And is there any humility on the net?
Yes, but you have to develop those kinds of friendships, in my experience. There are a few on TOL that put me in my proper place. Sometimes it hurts, but the wounds of friends in Christ are faithful. You really want to choose your friends who you trust to do such. I am very vulnerable on TOL to only a few. You should choose those people carefully and wisely AND better in person than on the internet if possible.

And if anyone else has went further down their walk than I have mine then please show me your revelations so I can compare them to mine?
I think we 'can' follow another as they follow Christ. The Apostle Paul certainly said to do so, but don't overtly compare yourself to another. We need to always be looking to the Lord Jesus Christ Hebrews 12:2 Colossians 3:1-3


I am humble enough to admit I cant walk on water yet.
:think: I think we HAVE to be humbler even more and yet, to walk on water. It isn't about us, it is about Him. I believe that was the 'water walking lesson.'

I did curse a tree and it wasnt plucked up, matter of fact it took one week for the tree to even die.
For me, this is a bit more of a charismatic expression than a spiritual one (not judging, just no where my head is at in following the Lord Jesus Christ). Such a difference does make a large divide as far as our interests, however: I have never had a good nor spiritual reason to curse a tree. I have never had a good reason, from God, to ask for a mountain to be moved either. I tend to think more that I'm the clay and more in need of molding.

I see away to much self exalting pride on the net. And I dont see enough tradeing talents.
We always need to look at ourselves and 'our' reasons for posting things. For me, the interaction is indeed a trading of talents. While I try to be of service to another (one of my motivations), I'm also aware I need my own chips knocked off once inawhile. TOL is a place where it forces the issue sometimes. All of us can use a few notches knocked away from our respective pride.

There are many different languages in the world today. English, Spanish, Russian, Chinese and many more. Some people know more than one language. A Spanish person cant explain anything to an English speaking person that doesn't know Spanish. A Russion cant explain anything to a Spanish person that doesn't know Russian. So they must learn the other language to communicate. One or the other must learn the language of the other person in order to communicate what they want to say. Or they will both be speaking into the air and wasting each others time.
What you have on here is two different languages, carnal and spiritual. Some in here think they mix together they don't. That is my job to show them that they don't mix together. As long as they think they mix together they will never be able to know the difference. If they don't know the difference they will just keep on assuming they know what the bible says, and they don't. The will assume they know the Holy Spirit and they don't.
The Holy Spirit ONLY quotes verses. The Holy Spirit is the only guarantee of salvation in the whole bible. The Holy Spirit is the only teacher that can change you inside yourself. The Holy Spirit is the only one who can lead you to Christ.
Now let me ask you, do you know the Holy Spirit? Do you understand the revelations of Jesus Christ that I share? Can you discern the revelations I share?

1 Cor 14:8-11
8 For if the trumpet makes an uncertain sound, who will prepare himself for battle?
9 So likewise you, unless you utter by the tongue words easy to understand, how will it be known what is spoken? For you will be speaking into the air.
10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of languages in the world, and none of them is without significance.
11 Therefore, if I do not know the meaning of the language, I shall be a foreigner to him who speaks, and he who speaks will be a foreigner to me.
(NKJ)

John 14:25-26
25 "These things I have spoken to you while being present with you.
26 "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.
(NKJ)
