You got a problem with what GaryMac said. I wonder what Zone thinks about this OP. Perhaps this is the kind of discipleship that Christ requires from His disciples who follow the Lord in the next step and place that He leads. Of course it's going to take mercy and grace and a great big cross to follow, but we are called to be His disciple. Do you ignore the scriptures or do you live by them...
Lk 14:26,27,33 ...26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath , he cannot be my disciple.
Those are pretty heavy duty demands to make upon His disciples, he has to hate his family, his own life and all that he has or he can't be a disciple. Can you hack it Abiding, can you be that kind of a disciple or are you going to charge our Lord Jesus Christ with being legalistic for making such demands? These demands are not practical and make no provision for the flesh nor do they accomodate for a believer to have some little reform church to settle into that has no personal cross, no fire, no outreach but just a laid back, I'll do what I want and you can do what you want and we'll call that liberty from God. Jesus had no place to lay His head but you do.
You call the OP trash, but it's conviction with a cross and you want nothing to do with it. You would rather label it with your own label of rejection then to be entreated by it. That's why you are stiff necked because you want the Christian life to be comfortable for your flesh instead of getting it crucified experientially through a personal cross that YOU must take up.
