Re: Self serving doctrine of Lee
Mr E. Do you actually read what you write before you hit that "submit reply" button?

Did you read the opening phrase of the very verse I quoted?
NO LONGER DO I CALL YOU SERVANTS
The friendship the Lord Jesus was describing was not a friendship based upon a servant-master relationship. It's the same kind of relationship the Lord was describing when he called his disciples "brothers". This are normal, organically human relationships.
Friendship is a natural, vital component of being a human being. God has never discouraged much less abolished friendship among his people. In fact, as John 15:15 shows, he has encouraged friendship all the more for his latter day followers.
