Should a Christian save?

RE: Should a Christian save?
(October 24, 2014 at 11:15 am)Drich Wrote: A 'Christian' Should honor whatever God gives them as per the parable told of the talents in Mat 25. If we have been given money to save/invest for God then by God we ought to do that. If however we are to live day to day then that is how we are tasked to live. There is no one right answer here because the answer greatly depends on what God gives you.

Parables are open to interpretation. Do you read the parable of the talents as applying only to what providence/god sends you in life, or do think it also or even primarily concerns what you should do with knowledge of god?
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
