Dear John, Here is my answer that got deleted. Once again I am not making these up. These statements are real. It seems that simply because the teachings of Jesus would be inconvenient and uncomfortable to accept as plainly spoken, a host of rationalizations pop up making God's directive less demanding and oppressive. For me, I don't want to stand before God on judgement day and have to explain why I didn't do as He commanded. Everything is as plain as can be. Here is what comes directly from the mouth of Jesus: Matt 10:38 - Jesus said, "And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me." Matt 19:21, - Jesus said that in order to inherit eternal life, be perfect, sell everything you have, give to the poor then follow him. Mark 10:17-21 - Jesus said to inherit eternal life, sell whatever you have, give to the poor, you will have treasure in heaven and go follow him. Mark 10:29-30 - Jesus promises that anyone who gives up everything he owns for the sake of the gospel will receive a hundred times more than what he gave up, now in this time and in the world to come. Matt 6:25-34 - Jesus said, do not plan or prepare because God will provide. This passage falls well into the theme and context of what Jesus is commanding about selling your possessions. Since God will provide, there is no need to worry. Be perfect and commit. Luke 12:32-33 - Jesus said do not be afraid, sell your possessions and give to the poor, store your treasures in heaven that your heart be there as well. Luke 18:22 - "Sell everything you have and give to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come follow Me." Luke 14:26 - To be a disciple of Christ you must hate your family, even your own life. Luke14:27 - "And anyone who does not carry his cross and follow me cannot be my disciple. Luke 14:33 - He said whoever does not give up all that he owns cannot be his disciple. The obvious meaning is clear. In order to be worthy of Christ, we must take up our cross and follow Him. In order to follow Him we must become His disciple. In order to become His disciple we must hate family, our own life and give up everything we own. The rich young man followed the commandments of God from childhood but lacked one thing in order to make it to heaven, He still needed to sell all that he had, given to the poor and then followed Jesus. It is illogical, irrational and impossible to believe that Jesus was only speaking to that one man. Again Luke 14:33, NKJ, "So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be my disciple." In conclusion, John 8:51, Jesus said that if a man believes his message, he shall never see death. John 14:24, "He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father's who sent me." I know these words are difficult but they are from God. flyman |

By the way flyman. Your post, that got deleted, that you claim is in response to, KcabmI4, was posted at 3:11pm, now that is interesting, because his post was posted at 4:23pm. WOW! That means you answered his post over an hour before he posted it! Dude! ARE YOU MAGIC! Seriously flyman, stop the pretending, grow up, and start telling the truth. Okay? John |

Wow John, Such loving words. If you would have taken notice there were two deletions, one at 3:11 and the other at 4:28. Maybe that is why you can't really see what God is saying through His Son Jesus. Maybe you're the one that needs to grow up and stop denying the truth, Okay? flyman |

Hellow to you people of the forum Iam lookin at the thread where the 2 deleations are 1 is posted at 3:11 which was to jlhetrick. 2 is posted at 4:28 which was to Wild Olive Shoot. But flyman172 made 2 posts to Wild Olive Shoot the first one was at 4:23 Which is the same time as Iam making my post to him. Iam seeing this when it is happining. That was making me to think that flyman172 was on the forum and maby he would be answering to me right away so I was waiting for him but his next post was to Wild Olive Shoot and it was deleated. It was a short post at 4:28 that was in connection with the first one he made to Wild Olive Shoot. flyman172 has not answered either of the 2 posts I made to him. Maybe this will be solving the problem of the 2 disappearing posts. Just my 2 Euros. lol Merry Christmas to all KcabmI4 |
