What if you die tonight?

That is not Spiritual Maturity. That is being a good citizen of the world that have Emily post type character and is honourable among mankind and to be highly praise, among all people through out the world. That is not Spiritual maturity you just describe a good worldly person.

Corinthians explain it, for it cannot be explain, how can it be to mortal men, For we speak not The wisdom of this world. Why would you even ask the question about explaining it, when it cannot be.
 
Spiritual maturity has to do with the level in which people talk to each other in the Lord.

Wrong again...spiritual maturity has to do with how mature one's understanding of Scripture is, and then how they apply it. I haven't seen anyone call you a name, exactly who are you accusing of that?

I am really something else because I corrected you on what you think Scripture says? And here you were speaking about spiritual maturity earlier...

A spiritually mature person seeks to understand the intended meaning of Scripture, he doesn't defend his biased theories on what he thinks Scripture says, especially when he is wrong.

Blessings.

Spiritual maturity is being humble before God . Having Wisdom, a Just mind, and Compassion. These are the center of Spiritual Maturity. There are a lot of other things that contribute, but these building blocks are at its core

Shaolin,

You've made some mistakes too. Most times I let it slide.

Bill,

I think you've run into a recent phenomena (albeit a few centuries) wherein the focus of spiritual maturity changed once Martin Luther based salvation upon being RIGHT !! (As opposed to being loving and merciful.)

Right. All 2.6 billion of Christian’s have their own definition what all the Bible says, and all of you are right in your opinion. I thank GOD I Am not one of them. Christians can’t agree on nothing. Even how Jesus died on a tree. And most do not know the difference between The Father and The Son and The Holy Ghost and all of them are right.

Most can’t agree on nothing. All are right. And everybody have a different way. No wonder nobody want to hear anything about Jesus. And The Churches around the world are become Ghost towns with cobwebs as curtains. And becoming skate board havens.

And many will even deny this truth.

When the Apostles came across a man ( not from thier group ) yet preaching all the same . They went to stop him. But Jesus said , if he isnt against us he is for us.

This is where i understand , not all think like i do. That is ok. They are still with us. That is what is important , not the politics of a religion, but where the heart is.

Scripture states where your heart lies, there will be your treasure to.

Sure we are variables. In a house there are many and different kinds of vessels, each one have its purpose. For only GOD is The Potter. He shapes us all in His unique way for HIS purpose, whether we know it or not. Not only does HE rules HE Super Rules.

You're being so gracious
Being humble
You're having all correct knowledge and all. God is omniscient. That means that He alone has all the correct knowledge.
 
@Rhema -- well , you've found your way over to this thread. And what exactly am I supposed to be thanking you for. You tend to believe that having lots of knowledge is the ultimate.

Exactly...but some people are just bias defenders, not learning anything and not trying to learn the truths found in Scripture. All they want to do is protect what they have been taught in the past, not caring whether its actually right or not.

Hey, we all make mistakes...its those of us who are truth seekers who will change our view when we are shown that we are wrong on something. That is also a mark of spiritual maturity...spiritual immaturity is what bias defenders do, think they are right about everything and never examine the actual facts to seek the truth.

And, yah...we both have made mistakes.
