Alright, I'm going to show you this one more time, compare YOUR translation of Luke 16:9 to the KJV here...

Luke 16:9 "And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations."

YOUR TRANSLATION HAS TOTALLY CORRUPTED THE TEXT AND THE MEANING OF LUKE16:9

When they fail, they are still welcomed to either one of the 'everlasting habitations', as where they have 'invested' their 'mammon' in, either to the poor Christians in similar 'faith' or for the rich world for the world and for it's 'economy'.

So either as 'disciples' to the teaching of this 'context', ones who have ventured into 'mammon' of this world, either may be welcomed into Heaven, where on judgement day and in the presence of the LORD JESUS CHRIST, the poor 'saint' will speak Good things about one who have done for them (as for CHRIST), and with them for the Kingdom of GOD, and also took part in their sufferings, laboring only for CHRIST of the New Covenant/Testament, truthfully reaching out to others, as 'Royal Priests'.

Or be condemned and be welcomed into judgement, Hell, where there fellow sinners (anti-CHRIST), will speak good things of one, about the good things one have done with them for the world.


It is not about 'translation' anymore with you and others, but the HOLY SPIRIT of 'all translations' and giving us 'revelations' according to them that we all have to learn first from Him.
 
They can't. The Lord is talking about going into eternal damnation (everlasting habitation) There is more than one everlasting habitation.

Mark 3:29
But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.

Matthew 18:8
Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.

Matthew 25:41
Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

Matthew 25:46
And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

Yes I know what is everlasting punishment, but there is no question about, the punishment, it is about dwellings, and what we may receive, if do the right things.
 
What a distortion of scripture. It's not when the money fails, but when they fail.

Luke 16:8-9[SUP]8 [/SUP]And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.
[SUP]9 [/SUP]And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations."

The everlasting habitations of "they" is referring to the children of this world and friends of the mammon of unrighteousness. So the everlasting habitations was not Heaven.
No the everlasting habitation is heaven because the people we help here will be thanking God and praying for us. Also the children of the world are more shrewd not necessarily wiser. The meaning means that we Christians are needed to be more generous than we realize.

With all due respect to you 'Yet', before you go on 'blindly' like others further, please read again Luke 16;1 end, before you also go on and give an 'unwise comment' regarding the Kingdom of GOD.

As it is written and according to the KJV version and from Luke 16;1 end:

".......................................................................................................................... everlasting habitations."

'Stay awake' and 'be alert' before you are 'exposed' as a 'hypocrite' like others, who are 'blindly' witnessing the Holy Scripture and boldly teaching others and not one 'self' first.

The written word is 'habitations', meaning more than one.

GOD bless you in the name of LORD JESUS CHRIST.

I am kind of new here on CC, but I see so many rude comments on here, please bare in mind that if my post is incomplete it is because it is just a post, it is not a complete commentary. Seriously, there is no reason to call me dear smart.

Dear 'smart' must learn from the HOLY SPIRIT the 'SOUND DOCTRINE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY BIBLE' before 'TEACHING' others.

Therefore one will be 'incomplete' and a 'false witness' for the Knowledge of the Kingdom of GOD and be 'accountable' of 'misleading' others who are still 'children' and 'learning' and 'witnessing' the 'fruits'.
