the question is, if that person learned Christ's requirements to qualify as his disciple, would he?
Quoting: DGN So there are "requirements" now? So much for saved by grace and faith. Oh well...looks like it back to hacking our foreskins off again and slaughtering lambs and burning them. Grace and faith open the divine opportunity, individuals must take Christ's yoke to develop his qualities; For this very reason, put forth all earnest effort to supply to your faith virtue, to your virtue knowledge, 6to your knowledge self-control, to your self-control endurance, to your endurance godly devotion, 7 to your godly devotion brotherly affection, to your brotherly affection love. 8For if these things exist in you and overflow, they will prevent you from being either inactive or unfruitful regarding the accurate knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2Pe1:5 So its all "works" then? Always striving and learning and struggle. With no actual gaurantee you will make it despite your best efforts. Sounds like LAW. So...back to hacking off foreskins. At least there ya knew where ya stood. Half hearted shortcuts are a dead end, cash in your chips and check out; And he traveled from city to city and from village to village, teaching and continuing on his journey to Jerusalem. 23 Now a man said to him: “Lord, are those being saved few?” He said to them: 24“Exert yourselves vigorously to get in through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will seek to get in but will not be able. 25When the householder gets up and locks the door, you will stand outside knocking at the door, saying, ‘Lord, open to us.’ But in answer he will say to you: ‘I do not know where you are from.’ 26Then you will start saying, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our main streets.’ But he will say to you, ‘I do not know where you are from. Get away from me, all you workers of unrighteousness!’ 28 There is where your weeping and the gnashing of your teeth will be, when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in the Kingdom of God, but you yourselves thrown outside. 29Furthermore, people will come from east and west and from north and south, and will recline at the table in the Kingdom of God. And look! there are those last who will be first, and there are those first who will be last.” Lk13:22
