(August 26, 2015 at 4:36 pm)Lek Wrote: The parable is about using your God-given talents productively.  Those who use their talents wisely will acquire even more talents, which should also be used to do God's work in the world.  The nobleman's order at the end of the passage applies to those who don't use their God-given talents and won't receive eternal life.  Spiritually-speaking, they are dead.
The parable is about how to be a loan shark and gouge the Gentiles with high interest rates.
