    48 “But if ever that evil slave should say in his heart, ‘My master is delaying,’ 49 and should start to beat his fellow slaves and should eat and drink with the confirmed drunkards, 50 the master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect and in an hour that he does not know, 51 and will punish him with the greatest severity and will assign him his part with the hypocrites. There is where [his] weeping and the gnashing of [his] teeth will be.

    Who is the master of the "Evil Slave"? Jesus Christ is not evil therefore it has to be satan. The faithful slave is mislead by satan which causes him to do things contrary to his person. Weeping and Gnashing of teeth with hypocrites......where might this be? Prison perhaps, or jail? What is the difference between prison and jail. According to those that have been in prison, jail is worse. More privileges are found in prison......hmmmm

    A prophecy of the Faithful Slave does not exist. Jesus delivered a parable about the kind of follower he wanted, and hoped to find, on his "return", it is not a prophecy.

    there is no prophecy about a faithful n discreet slave. its simply a parable, there is no implication that it referrs to anyone in particular, nor does it symbolize some future event.

    The slave is neither faithful nor evil, but he can act either way. Jesus does not answer the question, so he leaves it up to the slave to decide how he chooses to behave.

    Not only is it NOT a prophecy - it is MANIFESTLY NOT a description for the organization of the church.
