You remind me of the debates i have with Sunnis. Always implied reasoning used when quoting verses from scripture. Never explicit verses.

Jesus came to warn and bring the good news. He came to remind everyone of the day of Account.

Mark 10

41When the ten heard about this, they became indignant with James and John. 42Jesus called them together and said, "You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. 43Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, 44and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. 45For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

OK, what does the bolded mean, in your opinion?
