Yeah. It’s a game alright. It’s more like baseball or basketball where you keep score and see who is winning the “I’m a better Christian than you” game. It’s not new, it was around in the New Testament. Jesus tried to stop it. It didn’t work. Paul spoke against it. People still do it. Even folks who have been in church for several decades. Still trying to take credit away from God.
[1] And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
[2] I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
[3] For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
[4] For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
[5] Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
[6] I have planted, Apollos watered;
but God gave the increase.
I really thought you were more mature than this EB. That’s why I gave you the opportunity to edit your post. But you liked it the way it was.
