The God`s justice is different with human`s justice, the first man will have the same pay for the last man, cause He pays us with giving His kingdom for us, no matter how long, how many we serve HIM in this world By: Spits Warnars HArco Leslie Hendric - June 26, 2007 - Public Category: The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard

Why is it OK with God to pay the one who worked all day the same amount paid to the one who worked only an hour?
No matter how late we convert, what counts is the depth of our commitment? and the latest you do the more passionate the work you put in the vineyard. The most grateful? the one who had the greatest debt...of course not to the detriment of those differently blessed for having been laid in a Catholic cradle.

There was no wrong, no one received less than expected. The workers were paid what was agreed. Those hired early, borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat can be compared to early followers of Christ who may have been persecuted, suffered for the Lord, did many great works for the Lord. The last hired who spent one hour and made equal means that any time we can confess our sins, become followers of Christ, be redeemed for the reward of Heaven. It is not for the laborers to decide for the master. By: Dee - May 26, 2007 - Public Category: The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard

Because God is not like a man who sees the outside but does not see the inside. God compares all workers as one and as if they have done the same task all the day and He is the father of all so all His children all the same in His eyes.

It is ok to God be/cos God gave us diffrent destiny but all are working in His vein-yeild. Let me conclude that before God all men are equal be ye Bishop, Reverened, pastor or whatsoever whatsoever. And again all christian are running for one goal, and that is heaven. By: Evangelist Victor Okeke - May 24, 2007 - Public Category: The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard

Because with God, we all get the same just rewards:death for sinners; and Eternal life for those who accept Christ.
It does not matter what sin we commit, as long as we dont take the step to stop and worship God, we get punished.Regardless of what we did in the past, or at waht stage we surrender to god-we go to Heaven as long as we keep the faith.

When God calls us and we accepted Him and repent, all our sins were forgiven, and the promise of eternal life is given also. It`s really up to us if we will obey God`s will and walk with Him until he comes.God is faithfull wether you accept Him today or tomorrow it`s just the same contract.

"For the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who was the master
of a household, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his
vineyard. When he had
agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent
them into his vineyard. He went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the
marketplace. To them he
said, 'You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give
you.' So they went their way. Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise. About the eleventh
hour he went out, and found others standing idle. He said to them,
'Why do you stand here all day idle?'
"They said to him, 'Because
no one has hired us.'
"He said to them, 'You also go into the
vineyard, and you will receive whatever is right.' When evening had come, the lord
of the vineyard said to his manager, 'Call the laborers and pay them their
wages, beginning from the last to the first.'
"When those who were hired
at about the eleventh hour came, they each received a denarius. When the first came, they
supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise each received a
denarius. When they
received it, they murmured against the master of the household, saying, 'These last have spent
one hour, and you have made them equal to us, who have borne the burden of
the day and the scorching heat!'
"But he answered one of
them, 'Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Didn't you agree with me for a
denarius? Take that
which is yours, and go your way. It is my desire to give to this last just
as much as to you. Isn't
it lawful for me to do what I want to with what I own? Or is your eye
evil, because I am good?' So the last will be first, and
the first last. For many are called, but few are chosen."
