To those who think that burying the talents has nothing to do with salvation, the end of the parable shows that the guy who buried his talent ended up in outer darkness.
Yes, and the beginning starts "and the kingdom of heaven is like..." This parable, along with the one about the "Laborers in the Vineyard" (Matt 20, where even the guy who comes in the last minute gets paid the same) is one of those difficult teachings. But you know what the Scripture says "God's ways are not our ways".
