[QUOTE="Frankie's Friend, post: 3948691"] The story about the rich young man didnt tell me anything about not being perfect like Jesus. It spoke to me about loving riches more than loving Jesus. The dude was rich. He didnt own riches. The material things of this world owned him and Jesus knew it. The rich young man asked what else he had to do to be justified in God's sight and Jesus exposed that he coveted material things over spiritual things...the temporary things of this world trumped obeying God. Jesus was more interested in personal relationships than just preaching to crowds. Why did tough, worldly men give up every material possession to follow (have a relationship) with Jesus? Because their hearts were right even though they werent perfect in actions. The Bible states "let not many of you be teachers" because those that teach will be held more accountable. I'll watch your clip later today but regardless of anyone else's opinion Joel will be judged for what his motives were in his position. We can do a lot of dumb things with a right heart. If you see your brother sin you are supposed to go to him and address the situation in a spirit of humility. Have you written Joel or tried to contact him in any way to speak your convictions? If not, these postings are just reduced to the level of slander and that isnt good for anyone called by the Name of Christ. Biting and devouring each other is just playing into Satan's plan to discredit the power of God. [/QUOTE]
