The conversation in post 93 went as follows.

mm: What it's not an example of is true Biblical Christianity.

SP: Then can you show me an example of someone that is?

Don't go moving the goalposts now. You asked for an example of Biblical Christianity, not a leader of Biblical Christianity.

Our leader is Jesus Christ Himself.

Examples of people who model a Christian life are different.

One who is a model of true Biblical Christianity does not necessarily have to be a leader.

What kind of gotcha are you after, BTW?

Christ followers do not follow men. Religious people follow men.

SP is a boneheaded Mormon so there is a good chance the poster is trying to establish a gotcha fashioned by Joe ‘the serial adulterer’ Smith.

My original question was to Gamecock: [SP]SO, this is a leader of the protestant version of Christianity?

Which you responded to me with: [metmom] SO, this is a leader of the protestant version of Christianity?

This is an example of where religion will land you.

What it's not an example of is true Biblical Christianity.

This person is not a Christ follower, which is clear for anyone famil8iar with Scripture.


Which one of us is moving goalposts?

There's noooo gotcha. I'm trying to nail down what exactly you and people like you think is real "Christianity".

In all honesty, you and all that like you are totally baffling to me.

And I think I've figured it out. No snarkiness intended. Seriously. I'm typing this completely dead pan. Maybe an occasional "Mr. Spock eyebrow"...

All the people posting all these religious posts, believe in their own concept of Jesus. But not Jesus the person. They follow that concept, but not the real thing.

Christ followers do not follow men. Religious people follow men.

This is what I'm talking about. Jesus Himself commanded that those that follow Him were to follow His chosen leaders. Jesus has even laid down the law in Luke 13 and said it is for this very reason, not following his chosen servants that the vast majority of so called believers would be cast out at the last day.

Revelation 11 talks explicitly about two of His leaders. He showed these two to John because these would be killed in Jerusalem just before the second coming of Christ as a sign.

In Luke 13 Jesus states that He will show to all those "believers" that are being cast out all the prophets that they rejected. And it will be such a shock that they will weep and gnash teeth.

By your own words metmom, you won't follow any man. So where does that leave you at the last day?

No gotcha; just a red herring away from the ills of Mormonism.
