No, you need to be like Jesus.
I am honored that you would compare me to Jesus
and have such great and high expectations
of me.

I will go ahead and save you the trouble

There is only 1 Jesus

No one can be like Him.

The only way I could ever be like Him
is to have the Spirit without measure.

You pray to God for me
to be given God's Spirit without measure
and if God gives me His Spirit without measure

I WILL BE LIKE HIM.

The Spirit in me is far greater than the spirits in you.

What spirit is that?

I have yet to see him even write anything about Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, coming in the flesh..."This is how we know if they have the Spirit of God: If a person claiming to be a prophet acknowledges that Jesus Christ came in a real body, that person has the Spirit of God." 1John 4:2

I agree.

These Spirits----------->Revelation 5:6
And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts,
and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain,
having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God
sent forth into all the earth.

Are you a glutton for punishment?

Revelation 5:6
And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts,
and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain,
having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God
sent forth into all the earth.

I know them all.
I know all their names.
I fellowship with them
whenever I so desire.

What is so funny about this you have quoted to me
is that the author was speaking of himself.

Yet Michael the archangel,
when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses,
durst not bring against him a railing accusation,
but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

Who are the called and who are the few chosen
from the the called?

What is the criteria that Jesus the Christ
will use to chose the few from the called
to dwell with Him upon the new earth?

I know the answer to all these questions.
I just want to see if any of you know of them.
All are called but few choose to respond with gratitude.

His mercy is polluted without measure.

But that is soon to come to an end.

Such foolishness!

"For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise." II Cor 10:12

"When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him;
And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.
But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee.
For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted." Luke 14:8-11


"So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.
He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep." John 21:15-17
