Can't figure it out?...I'll help you out...I was being sarcastic and the link to the article he posted was a grammatical mess....And you cannot prove there is a trinity...G-d is one and that's that...Trinitarian belief is polytheism...

Can you see the difference? No, because you were given very little and less you will receive in life. The difference? This is not a quote of Jesus but the quote of a narrative Jesus is quoting from the parable of the King. Still don't get it? Because you were given little in life and less you will be given i.e. the Christ is quoting the king so I added the extra quotation marks. Still don't get it? Because you were given very little and less you will be given. Look at the quotation marks.

What is this parable about? It is about you and people like you. A parable is not an analogy or an allegory that is why it is given it's own figurative distinction of parable. Like a Sutra they may contain elements of both but it's its own figurative device. You do not understand what a figurative device is? Because you were given little and less you will be given in life.

So, the parable discusses three servants one of which listens to the defamation (like yours) of the king and because of that is not able to live abundantly or wisely (you again). There is more to it but you have been given little and less you will receive so it's like throwing pearls to swing to explain it to you.
You are right about it being a parable, you are on the path to solving it.

All I can say is Katz made the perfect post about this absurdity. I was in stitches for hours.

Peter answered and said, "Thou art the Logos, existing in the Father as His rationality and then, by an act of His will, being generated, in consideration of the various functions by which God is related to his creation, but only on the fact that Scripture speaks of a Father, and a Son, and a Holy Spirit, each member of the Trinity being coequal with every other member, and each acting inseparably with and interpenetrating every other member, but an economic subordination within God, a division which makes the substance no longer simple."

And Jesus answering, said, "What?"

There is no absurdity, you just don't understand, it's obvious you need some serious bible study. Someone to explain it to you.

Paradoxical
entity

[ ˈentitē ]



NOUN
noun: entity · plural noun: entities

  1. a thing with distinct and independent existence:
    "church and empire were fused in a single entity"

    So you state that Father, Son and Holy Ghost are fused into one entity = one god?
G-d the Father, G-d the Son and G-d the Holy Spirit...Looks like three gods to me...Which equals POLYTHEISM and worship of such is breaking the first and second commandments...
