Originally posted by EladarIf there is somewhere that Jesus told his disciples that he is God, please provide a reference. However, there are literally hundreds of references to the following:
Those who believe that Jesus is not God are not christian.
I've answered your question twice and asked you a questiin which you ignored.
Continue to go on and on about nothing.
- that Jesus is the Son of God
- that God is His Father
- that God is greater than Jesus
- that God is the head of Jesus
- that the disciples believed Jesus to be the Son of God and not God.
If you cannot provide a reference then you continue to promote your church doctrine rather than factual truthful statements from the Bible

Who is a Christian KellyJay?
Lord gives His Spirit too. So that means that there are those Christians who God
acknowledges with His Spirit, these are God made Christians. Then there are those who
do not have God's Spirit these don't belong to God since they lack God's Spirit, they may
call themselves Christian these are man made since they lack God's Spirit the only thing
they have going for them is their mouth and whatever they are relying on besides God.

The only reason I ask you is because at times you troll through this forum saying you are then you aren't etc. Anyway, as for your OP question...
Romans 8:14
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
The evidence is the fruit of the spirit. A lack of fruit does not mean a lack of life but God prunes to encourage fruit.
Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
Originally posted by FMFMillions of Christians give tacit support to the ideas of Christianity and yet never put them into practice. An example, sure, 'Go forth and make disciples of people of all the nations, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you'. . .ask yourself how many Christians are doing that and it becomes rather self evident that its hardly any.
Can you give me an example of a thing that defines you as a Christian that you "adopt" but which has no effect on what you "put into practice" ["apply"]. I find it hard to believe that giving "tacit support to [a Christian] idea without ever putting it into practice" can realistically be something that defines a Christian ~ or can it?
No one has claimed that giving tacit support to an ideology while never putting it into practice is what defines a Christian and infact the very opposite is what has been claimed. Why you are having difficulty reading and assimilating ideas to such an extent that you seem to understand the very opposite of what was intended is either a testimony to your poor reading comprehension or your dishonesty for misrepresenting what has been explicitly stated, possibly both. Either way you don't seem to have very many original ideas and seem intent to foist yourself on others like a rather desperate forum vampire sucking the humanity from those with genuine contributions to make.
