@cv5 I will have to listen to the links you posted bro. My take has always been that the wicked servant was just lazy. He fits a lot of what is said in Proverbs concerning the lazy.
When I have read this verse the one that always came to mind for me is Proverbs 26:13, The slothful
man saith,
There is a lion in the way; a lion
is in the streets. In other words he is making excuses.
I have myself never found him saying that the the Lord reaps where he has not sown as a lie. I find that is the reward of our God. Especially when it comes to us. First example I would cite is Israel. He let them know he was giving them as an inheritance homes they had not built, land they had not plowed or sown, fruit they had not planted.
So I have read these verses in Matthew the same concerning our inheritance, not unlike Israel's. That during the millennial reign when we reign with him. That our inheritance would be the same receiving what we had not built.
Just as he had parted as an inheritance to his, what the wicked had built. What was the wicked nations in Canaan, he parted into the 12 tribes. So I have always read this rather literally that when Christ is come all that the wicked world has built he will portion it to his as they rule and reign with him.
So I have taken these verses to mean because we were faithful in a little that we would receive cities or districts or however Christ breaks it down during the millennial reign. Anyway all that to say since the Lord does give to his, what they have not built. I never found the statement the wicked servant said as a lie but just an excuse since he is lazy.
Anyway I will go and listen to the links you posted bro.
