Seems like a claim that the vast majority of Christians here have made frequent claims of humility.
Quote:Here is the first one, from lek, claiming to be as christlike as he can be (humility and all)He's not pointing out humility by noting that Jesus was crucified for upsetting the Jewish establishment now, is he?
lek Wrote:I follow the teachings of Jesus. He was brought up as a Jew and was circumcised according to the Jewish law, but he never commanded that we be circumcised. In fact, the main reason that he was crucified was that he upset the Jewish establishment by teaching the people that they didn't have to follow the provisions of the old testament law. He broke the law at times such as healing on the Sabbath. I don't know if he ate pork, but he drank wine at the last supper, though there's no reports of him getting drunk at any time.
I see this as claiming to be humble seeing as how it was one of jesus's central teachings.
Quote:Here is another from godschildOK, that's one, but specifically regarding admission of sin.
godschild Wrote:Everyone here who professes to be non believers has rejected salvation out of self interest. Salvation comes from humbling yourself to admit you are a sinner who needs Christ and the salvation He gives. it's been a hard choice for many here, some have given up what they had received. Earlier you said salvation was a hard thing, now you're saying it doesn't seem to be much of a sacrifice, you need to come to some kind of agreement with yourself.
Underwhelming.
