How long does it take for one to renounce their life?

When is the person trully free?
Renouce life, or death of the body, I believe.

Now what bout those priests, who say they renouce their life. Are they really free? First off, they are not because they became slaves for Christ.
Second of all, I was just wondering, do they carry wallets?

Jesus said, " take nothing with you, no money no bag" Also, " There is one more thing you must do to inheir eternal life, sell everything and follow me"

Dan, you show an interest for Christianity. So maybe you have an openess to hear and listen.

Many people misunderstand Christianity greatly, they see it as a restriction. When one desides to follow Christ, and has a relationship with God, they realize that they don’t ‘want’ to do their past things, these past things they didn’t ‘want’ to let go of at first. I know from experience. When something is a priority in your life, like Christ, other things are easy to discard, and because you love Christ more than these things you can. Jesus only tells these men not to bring such things because for one, they should trust him to provide, two these things mean nothing, for this life is just a vapor. He wants the focus off of these wordly things, and focus is on him. This doesn’t mean you can’t have money! Even though many who have money love it, they don’t use it to provide anymore but for selvish desires, and money becomes a center of life.
