There are those who think they have a supernatural ministry like the apostles.

Paul said he did not take a wife with him ... so he was not talking about imitating him personally ... he was talking about following his teaching ("remember me in all things and keep the traditions just as I delivered them to you." v.2)
Yes.
“Imitate me as I imitate Messiah.”
I think this article addresses it well -
What does “imitate me as I imitate Christ” mean (1 Corinthians 11:1)? | GotQuestions.org

Imitate Paul’s teaching and practice as he imitated the Messiah’s teaching and practice. Paul didn’t kill anyone (after becoming a follower of Jesus), nor did he teach the followers of Jesus to kill anyone.
At best, they are misguided. At worst, they are charlatans. There is no one operating at the level of the 1st century apostles.
“God’s will can never be intelligently done where it is not known; therefore, in the first place, it becomes us as followers of Jesus to see to it that the will of the Lord is made known by heralds of peace sent forth from among us.” - C.H. Spurgeon
First we need the criteria by which we will judge each other as to who is actually a "Christian" or not.
PS we need a condensed criteria so that we do not become lost in the idiosyncrasies of the definition.

Technically, Paul bored Eutychus to death in Acts 20:7,9
7 On the first day of the week we came together to break bread. Paul spoke to the people and, because he intended to leave the next day, kept on talking until midnight. ....9 Seated in a window was a young man named Eutychus, who was sinking into a deep sleep as Paul talked on and on. When he was sound asleep, he fell to the ground from the third story and was picked up dead.
You were just laughing along at one of his attacks a couple posts above. Yes, let's be careful please.
This site is a joke. A particularly bad joke at that.
Please refresh my memory and quote the post you are referring to, that you said I laughed at.
Also this particular area of the forum is the non-Christian area. However Christians can post here.
Yes,my bad. A couple post above the one I responded to. Post #7 in this thread.
Are you not a mod here? What exactly do you moderate? What does that even mean? Following people around like a mall cop?
I noticed you just left a response on one of my posts in another thread. I also noticed that when I reported the post that I was responding to that my reporting went completely ignored. You left a WOW on my comment, as though you were shocked. But I see you said nothing to the long time member who I was responding to in shock of my own.
There are some really nasty people in this forum, mean and nasty and ugly, and they are still here, they've been here forever. So again, what is it that you are actually moderating?

I laughed because the former member was saying @Matthias must be a Kenneth Copeland and Trump supporter. Knowing Matthias as I do, I highly doubt that Matthias watches Kenneth Copeland. However he might possibly have voted for Trump.
Well thats lovely, I'm glad you're close. Perhaps the whole conversation went right over my head. But the poster you responded too was calling out Matthias by name and suggesting he be banned even. Maybe that's what passes for humor around here. I didn't find it amusing, but you did.
Yes, you did eventually get around to chastising the atheist a few posts later. Good for you.
