If I meet one more group of guys who think they are becoming more like Jesus because they are theological superior to people (which, by the way, is PRIDE!) but do not know a lost person by name or refuse to exercise their spiritual gift…and yet claim to be godly…I am going to punch them in the throat! (For everyone who just got mad about that–please refer to #2!)

Interesting. Feeling a little theologically superior, there, Mr Noble?

I have a hard time reading when there are 35 of these “!” in about 50-60 sentences.

No, that’s “theological superior.”

He does actually make some good points. If we get into the Gospels and meditate on what “being Christlike” really entails, it’s a real challenge to our sittin’-in-the-suburbs status quo.

I want to be exactly like Jesus, because then I will not have a sinful nature, and a aging body of death to deal with every day. Now that is being “born again”!

1 Peter 1:23
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
1 John 3:9
Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
1 John 5:18
We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

He didn’t fit in with the religious system of the day…and they killed Him for it! (But He had the last laugh!!!)

Is it just me, or does anyone else think this statement is irreverent? I don't see anything about the death, buriel, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ as being laughable by us or Him.

Luke 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
