You are misapplying the Scripture. That passage's application means that God is no respecter of a rich person over a poor person.
When did God ever threaten to kill a Gentile believer for not circumcising his son (as God did Moses)?
“Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.” (Colossians 3:11)
No, I do not. But I believe that I could have refused the gift of faith and been damned--in fact, Scripture says that those who do NOT believe are damned already. So I was damned already but I thank God every day that He reached down into the pit of hell and pulled me out. That is where you and I differ. You think that you are part of some privileged club--destined always to be a prince of the Church. Not much different from Catholicism--but then, Calvin was raised in the RCC.
You are misinterpreting that passage. It means that all are equal before God. Surely you don't believe that there is no difference between men and women? I'll answer for you--there are obvious differences between men and women. But they are "co-heirs in Christ Jesus".

They WILL be held accountable. How dare they??! God always redeems His children, and you are DEFINITELY one of His ♥
And we always have to remember we are not fighting flesh and blood.
Love to you sister,

"Archangel" is probably a member of some Charismatic or extreme Pentecostal cult. They love to go around saying that this or that godly Christian woman "has a Jezebel spirit". It is ignorant and sadistic.

I don't know much about Francis of Assisi to comment, but I find the Desert Fathers fascinating. Even if their zeal for perfection (Matthew 19:21) is beyond my reach, by reading their stories I can't help it but be humble about my own indifference. Their gentleness is especially noteworthy. Even when someone is wrong or lost, they will not directly correct him so as not to upset or contradict him, but will try to find another way to steer him in the right direction:
One day when Abba John was going up to Scetis with some other brothers, their guide lost his way for it was night-time. So the brothers said to Abba John, ‘What shall we do, Abba, in order not to die wandering about, for the brother has lost the way?’ The old man said to them, ‘If we speak to him, he will be filled with grief and shame. But look here, I will pretend to be ill and say I cannot walk any more; then we can stay here till the dawn.’ This he did. The others said, ‘We will not go on either, but we will stay with you.’ They sat there until the dawn, and in this way they did not upset the brother. - Sayings of the Desert Fathers

I do so hate that "abbreviation" for one who supports Dispensation (Dispy) Sometimes I see this forum as a huge sandbox full of bickering children and the bullies throwing sand, stones and name-calling...even IF "Dispy" is disguised as an abbreviation it is insulting.
Are you saying that because you selected the "right sounding" doctrines according to your preference, that that is the same as Jesus transforming you?
Clocks are dead just as we were, and cannot take themselves to a clock shop, much less hand themselves over for repair.
