Prayer for Integrity

God, give us of the faithful! A time like this demands
Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands

Faithful ones whom the lust of office does not kill
Faithful ones whom the spoils of office cannot buy

Faithful ones who possess opinions and a will
Faithful ones who have honor, ones who will not lie

Faithful ones who stand before a demogogue
and damn the treacherous flatteries without winking

Tall ones, soncrowned, who live above the fog
in public duty and private thinking:

For while the rabble with their thumbworn creeds
their large professions and little deeds

Mingle in selfish strife, lo! Freedom weeps
Wrong rules the land & waiting justice sleeps

Who (flesh and blood person) discipled Daniel?

Discipleship in both testaments was always done by a flesh and blood person.
Do you not believe that God or the Holy Spirit can lead into discipleship? Isn't that the intent of the bible?

Yes He can, but that is not the intent of the command for US to make disciples.
God can and will do it if no one steps up to do it. Sometimes.
The forum site we are posting in is called disciples of Jesus :sigh:
I don't get the point of questioning abilities when the bible itself says you are not to have any other teachers but One. Why would you question Daniel as an example of discipleship ? I'm not at all understanding what your intentions are ...

True. But yesterday it had a different title.

Because "discipleship" as it is called in the NT was established by Ezra, AFTER the time of Daniel.

It is that institution that the NT writers were ALL very familiar with as it was part of their culture and it is what Our Lord talked about. Since there is nothing that comes even close in our culture, we tend to take that word and redefine it according to our own understanding.

My intentions are to re-establish in everyone's mind what our Lord was actually talking about and commanded us to do.
Your forgetting the example of Ilisha in starting schools. But I think that what your intentions are should not be in correcting me in my attempts but to establish what you mean by not undermining others Thanks.

True. But yesterday it had a different title. It was just "Discipleship."
The change was perhaps in response to my post on "Discipleship is Jewish."

We've been working on these changes for a few weeks, and started rolling out the changes yesterday and the day before slowly. There was a transformation of a few areas in Edification. Your post you are referring to (which I don't know about and haven't read) is a coincidence. Kind of funny, but a coincidence.

OK, I will accept that.

But the timing was amazing.

I guess I will not be able to post in my own thread any more since I now see the forum has a "sign to post" policy. Again, that was NOT there yesterday.

You can put your name in the thread - we definitely want you participating.

Looks like Sojourner put sign to post threads in a lot of the edification sections yesterday, not just this one.

We were creating the forums yesterday. The name of the forum has not changed, it has been Discipleship: Following Jesus since we started working on the SoP for the forum. The purpose of the forum is learning to be disciples of Jesus, to follow Him in obedience. There are aspects of discipleship that included mentoring other believers, but that is not the only aspect of discipleship.

So I can no longer post here either.
I will remove my posts, including the ones BEFORE the "sign up sticky" was posted.

Do you have a list of all the forums with "sign up stickys" that you added yesterday?
