Are You a Disciple?

This is the question that we have been studying with our Sunday night HS small group, over the past month or so. But, before one can begin to answer that question, we must first ask, what is a disciple

To me a disciple is like a student/apprentice. Apprentices learned by doing, not just by being a student the way we do school these days. There absolutely has to be an active component. Jesus sent his disicples out to heal and cast out demons and preach. I think the philosophy of the apprentice/disicple relationship is "learning by doing". I like to think that the lazy servant who buried his talentgot in trouble because he didn't try and that ultimately the master (God) would have been happier even if he'd done something and lost the money than done nothing.

I love Soren Kirkegaard and this is a quote about the difference betwene being a follower and a disicple: http://vesta-venus.livejournal.com/118753.html

No, I'm not. I'm a self-believer, and a believer in human kind, not in God or Jesus Christ.

Are you homophobic?

Hello. I was interested in adding you, but I wanted to make sure it was okay first. :) You sound like a nice guy, and I would love to make a new friend and get to know you better.
