Our spirit is the only part of us that is “born again” or recreated in the image of God.</em></p>

<p><span>That's what you said and you did include scripture, so thank you for that.....but there are "rules and regulations" according to the Bible, there are standards and obedience to follow, have you missed that fact? It's vitally clear all throughout the Bible to me, have I mistaken the Lord's Word about obedience and discipleship? Have I misunderstood about "without holiness that no one will see the Lord". Have I mistaken so many scriptures on how to live and abide in the Lord that I don't understand?</span></p> To back up the view that reli…tag:www.allaboutgod.net,2017-03-21:1383940:Comment:17293342017-03-21T15:08:03.148ZTammyhttp://www.allaboutgod.net/profile/TammyHenson
<p>To back up the view that religion isn't a bad word we have James 1:26-27 </p>
<div class="verseundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefined"><p>If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person's religion is worthless. Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.</p>

I do believe Jesus is Lord and know that He's going to return. However if my answers disagree with yours, you will judge me as not being saved. But I feel like you will make that judgement of my standing with God if I decide not to answer as well, so it won't make any difference. But I don't mind answering. Therefore to answer your questions...<br></br>

The rich man wasn't willing to give up everything fleshly to follow Jesus. He would only follow Him to a point. We should be willing to give up anything necessary to follow Christ.

What do you believe about the rich man that approached Jesus and walked away? Do you believe that he was saved? You cannot separate Jesus from His Word, they are not separate things, they are one and the same. You cannot call upon Jesus, but yet reject Him as your Lord.</p>

I've seen people who are led by the Spirit believe we're completely free and others in the same Spirit believe we still obey Jesus' commands. They even had these differences then.

<p>Hi Seek!</p>

<p>We make disciples not by when our own views are united, but when we follow Christ Jesus words of the Bible. Anyone can distort, manipulate, and diminish points of the Word. There aren't different meanings, only one meaning with many different people....who aren't always "good". The Bible tells us that nobody is "good". People will always disagree with Biblical concepts when they aren't renewed in the Holy Spirit. It's just knowledge and nothing from the heart.…</p>
