What a shame I had hoped we'd seen the last of you, but while your here this question was directed at you as well come down from that pulpit and answer it in plain English.

I have heard that it has been mentioned by a leading theologian that occasionally pimps the web for his own purposes once said,

"We are COMMANDED to tell the gospel. Nothing further is required of us."
My question is:-

Do you believe that Jesus requires nothing of his followers other than to tell the Gospel?

I am not interested in your answering a question posed by yourself .

Go back to 10/11/2013 .

I first posted on this thread on 11/11/2013 .

The words in a post of the previous day caught my eye .

The words were those of K99WARD and were " We are COMMANDED to tell the gospel. Nothing further is required of us. "

My post was :- " Are you sure ?

Nothing is required of us other than to tell the Gospel .

"

Since then I have asked K99WARD on numerous occasions whether he believes that Jesus requires nothing of his followers other than to tell the Gospel .

I am sure that most would agree with me that his words which I have quoted are puzzling to say the least .

K99WARD has not had the courtesy to give me an answer , or when he has replied to my posts he has simply used the tactic of evasion .

If any , like me , think that the question deserves a truthful answer may I suggest that you continue to ask the question of K99WARD whenever he makes a post .

So K99WARD , to remind you .

You made this statement: " We are COMMANDED to tell the gospel. Nothing further is required of us."

What I want to know is whether you believe that Jesus requires nothing of his followers other than to tell the Gospel .

westendlass, you put this so well. I think it is sad though that anyone is actually looking forward to some hypothetical after-life instead of making the most of the precious time they have here. Doesn't say much about what they do have here if they are waiting for THAT day to come.

Everyone is entitled to believe what they will, and I have no intention to expound on what I believe, there is enough with one on this thread doing that in his self-promoting, arrogant way. Suffice to say that I am making the most of what I have in the here and now, thankful that every morning I wake up to another day.

K99 - you really are a bundle of fun (I was going to use another word but in deference to my dear mother who did her best to bring me up in a ladylike manner - though I'm not saying if she was successful in this or not - I chose this one).

Did you answer my question? I don't think you did.

Don't hold you breath or you'll end up in heaven before him and make him jealous.

I am sure I am not one of the chosen few

Hi Kevin.

It does? Really?

"What good is it my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, 'Go in peace, be warmed and filled,' without giving them the things they need for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead."

Yep because free will does not apply to Internet forums.

I am not convinced it exists.

If you want to find out more I can give you the name, address & telephone number of a self proclaimed expert, he will help increase your doubts, I don't think he means to but his sales pitch is naff!

This is taking rather a risk since you have much more 'power' on this forum than I have Neil, but I think you ought to pay more attention. We Christians sometimes have to take risks for the sake of our master, Jesus Christ. It is part of the job. We have to take insults, but at least (for the moment) we are not fed to the lions or sawn in two like some of our forbears. I dare say that there are those who would like to bring it back but fighting against God is futile since he has the ability to either bless us or much worse. We do worship a loving God who has patience (far more than I have, for instance) but he has appointed a time when we shall ALL be judged. The judgement of believers will be different to that of unbelievers. Many who would call themselves Christian are unaware of this latter judgement. I am raising this point as I notice that one or two of your contributors have mentioned this subject. Believers will be judged on their performance in this life so those who think they can sit back and relax after accepting Christ (in the true sense) are going to get a shock. They will be saved but 'as through fire' as the scriptures put it.

God bless.
