1 | Does following cost? | Luke 14:33 | BradK | 79666 | ||
Dear imuvhim, I apologize for not making myself more clear. As I don't know the context in which your pastor spoke, I was only offering my personal observation. I have a strong aversion to those who would "put us under the yoke of bondage", i.e legalism. There is most certainly a "cost" involved in following Christ. I would make the distinction that it is not that of literally following what was taught in the Gospel accounts, but rather the spirit. As Paul wrote in 2 Tim.3:12 "Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted." My point in asking if your pastor owned a home or car was somewhat "toungue and cheek". I was really asking whether he was being consistent in his application of scripture. If one where to preach that we should give up our possessions to follow Christ- fine! As long as they themselves have done likewise so as to remain consistent:-) Speaking The truth In Love, BradK |

Now I'm understanding you. My Pastor does have a car. I know that faith is what matters and I know that a obedience is what matters. What I got from the message on Sunday was the obedience part. Jesus saves those who obey. Hebrews 5:8,9 "he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him' Thanks |
