This thread is turning into a debate, and I am not going to "argue" with anyone about Christ. All of a sudden new rules and parameters have been set and people have been accused of ASSuming stuff. The Bible speaks for itself. For those who choose to design their own form of godliness or make up their own rules to live by, they can live with those consequences.
I am standing Titus 3.9 "But avoid foolish questions, and geneologies and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain."

It's interesting that this should be your 666th post on Greekchat.
The only issue is your definition of Man of God. That is hardly a Biblical concept. Man of God is not an exclusive term to Christianity I wish people would show a little respect for the other viewpoints expressed here.
This debate or discussion can be very fruitful. But how can one be privy to another's viewpoint if tough questions aren't asked and addressed or their viewpoint is dismissed?
The actual Church Fight started when Icon/Fred and you, yourself provided commentary on MY definition of Man of God.
Matthew 7.1 states, "Judge not, that ye be not judged". It's hard to determine the difference between Judging vs. Proclaiming.
Judging is providing your input about a situation, while Proclaiming is simply stating God's Judgement of a lifestyle.
These two comments seemed to be along the lines of judging and that simply was not needed:

This is the typical liberal and all inclusive view of religion that is very popular these days. To be a Christian means to have a relationship with Jesus Christ. So if you are not calling yourself a Christian..... then you're not professing Jesus Christ as the Way the Truth and the Life. I guess your re-introduction of self explains why you take the stance you do on many subjects..so its cool to see the thought process behind the posts. The word says to put no other god before him..and that you cannot serve two masters. And that the only way to the Father is through the son Jesus Christ.
Back to the original question posed in this thread..I believe a man of God professes the Living God, Jesus Christ as his source for everything...and the only True God.

Now if you can't answer questions or argue about Christ regardless of the other comments made then it makes me wonder about your spirit. I've asked three straight forward questions you could simply ignore anything you perceive as extra.
Yea, I did ask y'all to respect some parameters cuz I, personally, don't know what you are quoting. I'm not a scholar of the bible. In my "Q and A" thread which you've referred to in other threads, I simply anser the question and provide supporting documentation in that response if need be. I don't send people outside of my thread to qualify something I've provided the answer to. My thoughts are If YOU say it, YOU should support it.
No Second Timothy isn't real helpful to me, cuz it's been shown to me time and time again that most devils have a deeper knowledge of the scripture written in the Bible than I do. That's how they are able to cultivate the masses to their cults and causes.
Peace Be With You In All That You Do
