In Matthew 25:14-30, particularly 25:28, does the good master promote equality by making the servant who has ten talents give some to the servant who only has one? Or does the good master in fact promote inequality by allocating resources to the more productive servants?

Thanks supercat. I’m working on a piece about Matthew 25 right now. Think it gets misappropriated for both sides. The parable of the Sheep and Goats gets misused for socialism and the parable of the talents for capitalism.

Now don’t get me wrong, I’m obviously a capitalist if you read my work. But both of those were End Times parables dealing with spiritual matters.

Anyway, thanks for reading and responding.
