Ahh. more abstract truisms. Can you apply some practical application to your "give up all" mantra and please translate into a concrete response

see, the problem is, that's God's job. Read his Word and pray about it. We are only his friends if we do what he commands!

It's God's job to decide what it means to "give up all"?

Yes! read his point! He wanted definition and application... Yes it is his JOB to lead us. How can I say how for you to give up all! I don't know you and even if I did it's not my job. Giving up all is a clear definition to me. ALL is ALL. He wanted more. How to go about that is to be led by the Spirit and study his Word. Being led by the Spirit is the application IMO! No hindrance to the Spirit is ALL!

Hey, you were right! I read this in the Bible, and now I know what I have to do!

Luke 18:22 Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

Thanks, Luke!

Ah, an edit! OK, a Yes does make more sense than a No. (I think )
