Two Masters

[the_human_being]

I once saw Joe Biden put his arms around Paul Ryan in a rather fatherly and statesman like fashion and advise the young Senator that he had to compartmentalize his faith and his duties as a servant of the people. Both Biden and the Senate Minority Leader from California are Catholics. I do not offhand know what the religious affiliations of our Supreme Court Justices happen to be but the Bible addresses the subject of serving two masters:



Luk_16:13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Mat_6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

How did Nixon do it? He was a Quaker.

Probably the same way Biden does it. They make a choice and it's the government and their own status over God.

How do you get "two masters"?

Wow, I haven't heard this inane crap since JFK ran in 1960.

Then don't look at it spiritually at all. Look at it from a common sense viewpoint. One cannot serve two masters. Suppose someone got a job on Donald Trump's campaign team and also got a job on Hillary Clinton's campaign team. Now, that someone would of course have political leanings of his own either toward Clinton or toward Trump. Since his employer is his master in both instances, how he serve the both of them to his fullest capabilities? See, that wasn't too hard, was it?

Here's a better example. You have a boss at work = 1 master. You go home and your wife is the master of the house = 1 master. 1 master + 1 master = 2 masters that you have to listen to. Now if you have a second job... kids who run the show... play on a hockey team... you'll have even more masters. See how easy that was?

Again, those are not in conflict. "Two masters" means direct conflict. "Boss" and "wife" are different domains. They don't overlap.

Absurd. That comparison is two political campaigns in direct competition with each other. Your original premise pits religion versus politics -- two things that have as much to do with each other as headphones and tires.

I'm not at all sure what he meant there; I stopped reading at "I surrender". That was what made the most sense.
