"I HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST!"

[Stegley]

There are actually proclaimed Christians today who state with marvelous confidence, "I Have The Mind Of Christ In Me!" Therefore, let us ignore the fact that Jesus Himself never stated anyone could possess His Mind, none of The Twelve Apostles spoke of having the Mind of Christ, and Paul The Self Proclaimed Apostle was the only NT writer to speak of such a notion. And, it was never prophesied that at any time.this side of Eternity anyone would have "The Mind of Christ" in them.

Let us now specify what such a person who has "The Mind of Christ" will be able to do.

1.) He will authoritatively understand all Prophecy in Scripture.

2.) He will understand all of Jesus' recorded Words in Scripture, and certainly so The Sermon on The Mount.

3.) He will never misunderstand any person standing before him or speaking to him.

4.) He will understand and obey all of The Mosaic Law.

5.) He will understand and perform the same deeds as did Jesus according to James 14:12.

6.) He will show perfect love and forgiveness toward all men.

7.) He will take no thought for tomorrow, for what he will wear, eat, or drink.

8.) He will know what Jesus did in the Wilderness for forty days, and how Jesus prayed when by Himself.

9.) He will speak with the same axiomatic authority and certitude as did Jesus.

10.) He will speak as no other man, as did Jesus.

COME FORWARD ALL YE WHO "HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST!" VERIFY HOW YOU MIMIC JESUS! SHOW YOUR MIND AND YOUR DEEDS FOR ALL TO SEE AS DID JESUS! BE NOT SHY NOR FULL OF PITIFUL EXCUSES!

Jesus said "be ye perfect as I am perfect."Is anyone perfect? Its what we are to strive to be as a Christian.The same as having the mind of Christ.

those people (ekklesia) on earth who are immersed in yahshua and have as it is written the mind of christ are still called idiots, simpletons, naive, and worse - even by the government and religious authorities/officials / leaders.

Instead of asserting what you believe the 'mind of Christ' why not let the text of scripture define it for you! If you do that you will actually discover that it involves none of the above!

Philippians 2:1 Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy,
2 fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
3 Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.
4 Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.
5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,
6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God,
7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men.
8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.

The context of Paul's words is humility and putting others first, the supreme example of which is the Lord Jesus Christ who left heaven, became a man, a servant and obedient to the point of death - all for us! That, says Paul, is the mind of Christ!

No, as for you remarks that seem to dismiss Paul as some lesser authority, I assume that you accept Peter as an apostle, interestingly he points out that people have twisted Paul's words like they do the rest of scripture (2 Pert 3:16) ergo Paul's writing are scripture and are just authoritative as every other part of scripture, so, how times does scripture need to state something for it to be true in your opinion - once, twice, ten times, a hundred times?

Personally I think once enough.

We're dealing with a troll (the OP) here. Your answer will nevertheless serve as beneficial to someone who wonder about the question asked.

 

[Sirk]

As for me....I am "putting on the mind of Christ". Although I get the gift of righteousness thru Jesus' sacrifice, I still am being transformed by the renewing of my mind and will be as long as I walk this earth.

 

[sveinen]

what's up?
you're forgiven! set free! new creation!
"in the last days His Spirit" some falling on all flesh something!

Are you immersed in Christ?

Are you personally a servant to the point of death? Do you love our neighbors as yourself? Or, do you just make necessary verbal references to such?

I think the answer is easily obvious.

Did you not read the TOS? Keep your personal comments to yourself. Lol.

BTW, Jesus was the Supreme Troll. The proof is in Luke 4:13-30 to correct your ignorance about Jesus. Be strong and brave with the facts, rather than thinking intuitively.

Tell us how you think, speak, and act like Jesus.

Where the hell do these people come from and how are they able to fit their bloated, self righteousness heads through any doorway? I don't ever have to go to another baseball game as long as I live; there are enough Bobbleheads around here to last a lifetime.

 

[Jeff_56]

who wants to know - a believer crucified in christ jesus since the foundation of the world, subject now in everything to him, or someone else ?

Are you immersed in Christ?

 

[Sirk]

Tell us how you think, speak, and act like Jesus.

By reading his word. The bible is Gods thoughts. Me " chewing" on it is hiding it in my heart. Meditating on it is thinking His thoughts after him. "Act is the blossom of thought".

How do you act like Jesus? Give ten examples, unless you feel uncomfortable bearing witness.

 

[Stegley]

Lol. Why presume to instruct others in here about something you yourself cannot demonstrate?

This is fun.

 

[Reformed_Baptist]

I think the answer is easily obvious.

Is any really able to make a judgement on another's personal walk and faith based upon one post on an internet forum?

Maybe though your statements need to be analysed a little.

You asked if I am a servant to the point of death, well if I am not then I am not saved. The Bible describes all believers as being servants (slaves actually) to Christ Jesus (see Eph 6:6 for example) and if I do not continue in that condition until the day I die then I will not enter heaven. However having said that I must also realise that I am an unprofitable servant (Luke 17:10).

However, I am not sure that is what you meant, the way your statements are loaded suggests that you have in mind something more specific - maybe a martyrs death or the like! As I am still alive that question must remain unanswered, but I hope that should the situation arise I would be willing to give me life for Christ.

You also ask if I love my neighbour as myself - and my answer is, 'no, not perfectly' but then it isn't my obedience I am relying upon to be saved, rather is the obedience and sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ that I rest upon.

then you go on to say:

I think the answer is easily obvious.

Here, I have to challenge you about what your point is? I was responding to certain assertions about what the mind of Christ looks like, and also about what value we place upon various portions of scripture - I made absolutely no claims regarding my own conduct in regards to having the mind of Christ! So, I am not sure why you feel that any of your questions are appropriate responses to my words?

 

[Sirk]

How do you act like Jesus? Give ten examples, unless you feel uncomfortable bearing witness.

Its a good question. I am not always successful in my endeavor to "act" like Jesus. People ask the question "what would Jesus do".....I prefer to ask Jesus what he WILL do. As far as ten examples.

Love God
love others
sacrificially love my wife
dont be surprised when people hurt sin against me or disappoint me
forgive quickly
be an example of the fruits of the spirit to my children
control my thinking (think positively)
work towards win win cooperative relationships
be considerate of others and their perspective
choose to let go of my desire to change or control others.


I could give you many more but now its your turn.
