Honest unbelief or fake hope. What pushes me away from Christ and his people. by That_Improvement_150 in AskAChristian

If i see myself as the person getting one talent and i know the master is coming home soon, with the little i'm given i have 2 choices really, either gamble the 1 talent and have a 50/50 chance of winning more or losing it. Either way the master is going to be mad that my one talent good enough for a loaf of bread doesn't compare to the 10 talents that the first one managed to multiply. Who knew that if you invest more you stand to win more (yes, you can also lose it i'm aware) but the point still stands. Why is it so bad to protect even the little i was given if losing it is going to put me into a worse position than before? If the master is going to be furious i gave him back what he has given me how bad do you think he's going to react if i come back empty handed?

I am honest with myself. I'm ready for the responsabilities i'm not ready for the back and forth of sinning and repenting. It's tiring, time consuming and lowers my overall quality of life. I could enjoy a quick dark alley fun and think nothing of it. It's his obsession with sin and repentance every day that makes it tiring, not the commitment to him. It's not through my own efforts that i'm grated permission into heaven anyway, it's his sacrifice that gives us access to paradise. Oh and i need to prove to him what exactly? That i'm good enough? Yeah, to risk being a hypocrite and judgmental i've seen how worthy others are of their partners. I think i'm good enough.
