Let's see..do we pray to Odin? :contemplate: Hmmm...no. Do we pray to Confucius? No. What about Godzilla? No! King Kong? No...what about Jesus YES....ding ding ding.

Are you satisfied that I can correctly say we are to pray to Jesus?

Do I need to simplify even more for you?


That is a shock! :oops: What..there are other religions in the world? What? How do you know this? You seem to be well informed. You must have a very big brain to understand these things so well.

You mean like not believing in Odin...etc...What about the tooth faity...You NEVER speak against the tooth fairy...why not? What about the Easter bunny? Nothing. you never never talk about the dire need to not believe in the Easter bunny? I wonder why that is..:contemplate:



Why don't we just post the same thing over and over again...on a loop..that way you don't jave to go to the trouble of saying the same things over and over...no matter what is being discussed.


If you do say so yourself...

Your exclusivism is just like the Pharisees. Do you get extra marks for condemning others?
You started out right then FELL face down . How do i know all the other religoins are false .
THEY all DENY JESUS AS THE CHRIST . oh sure muslims use the name JESUS
but they do not beleive him to be THE CHRIST , not even the SON OF GOD .
For more info on that try reading JOHN chapter two . the religoin of islam , aka muslims is a relgion of anti christ .
IF JESUS told even the jews who did not beleive on HIM they were of their father the devil
he wont be giving anyone else a pass either . Inclusvism is a lie from hades .
TIME TO PREACH EXCULISIVELY JESUS CHRIST .

You have what is called an idée fixe. All you have been programmed to think is...Born-again....Born-again....Born-again...bleep bleep. Repeat, repeat, repeat... bleep.

Were you born of a woman? Do you have a mother? If so, do you constantly justify any human action by saying...I am born of a woman you know...I was born of a woman... etc... Yes yes...so you are human. congratulations. And you are a Christian? Great..more congratulations. Now can you try following along with something other than a new birth announcement?

And I never said that coming under the shadow of His wings is the same as being born again. You are stuck at the very beginning of a baby Christian...IF... you are not just born again.... American style.

Baby believers are cute. Indoctrinated permanently immature believers are NOT cute. You can justify yourself all you want. But God judges.
Then you best have a word with God about that...

Without being birthed in the Spirit/ Born Again..,you don’t belong to God.

So, you are down playing how imperative it is to be “ Born Again “......

Jesus said....you must be Born Again.....

That's a lot of bull. :contemplate:

I'm asking you to try understanding before posting. Otherwise you know what assuming does. ;)
I understand your argument and what you are attempting to justify. I was led to join the discussion in order to correct your error with good reasons so that others will not be intimidated by you.

I am not threatened by your attempt at intimidation. Why do you speak of "spiritual things" like it's a secret code between you and your followers?

it's a secret code shared between Christ and those who have known Him WHERE He is.
I've heard this before. In times past it was called "The Holiness Movement" or "Keswick" theology. Today we call it "Star Wars" theology the idea that one must "use the force" (appropriate the Holy Spirit) to walk in holiness, without sin. It doesn't work and it never has.

George Lucas is very smart. But I don't think he made movies to promote a new religion. He saw what is possible ...and adapted it to a sci-fi opera. I hope that doesn't cause you to lose your faith.
The honest among us leave that situation behind.

Going to the movies?
Those caught up in this cult make excuses for sin, denying that they sin, so as to bolster a narrative contrary to Biblical teaching. I have heard such people say, "W don't sin. We simply make mistakes. God is not going to blame us for making mistakes, is he?"

What cult? There are a lot of Star Was fans out there that dress up and do conventions and such. But that should not dissuade you from having faith in God to seek God's kingdom for yourself.
No, I am denying your perspective that one can "walk in the perfection of Christ."

That's what unbelief is all about. Otherwise all we have is a religion of an afterlife...like going to Valhalla...and other such pagan religions. I hope you are not one of "those" :oops:
And I take issue with your definitions because by these you misconstrue the scriptures to support your narrative.

You think being translated into God's kingdom is only a language thing. Like translating into Chinese or Urdu?
There is no such thing as "less than holy." Holiness is not a thing to be measured. Either God has chosen someone or he didn't.

For some of us, both are true.
So no one is less than holy..so all are holy. I think I understand your religious beliefs now. Don't judge Star Wars fans....they know not what they do.

Do you get more bonus points for saying born again like 3 times or more in one paragraph? I'm just trying to understand how you think your reward system works...and what motivates your repetitive redundancies.

Born again...born again...born again...How am I doing?...:no 1:

I agree, we must be born again, IT IS THE ONLY WAY AND THE FIRST PART OF A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.

However some never seem to grow beyond a " born again" state but remain infantile in the faith, having to be coddled and carried about by other's beliefs & theologies.
Growth comes by submission to the Spirit in the walk of study & application of the word to our lives.
For someone to be in the faith for so many years as they claim, I count retarded, as bread in a proofer that fails to rise !

Unless one is born again, HE CAN NOT SEE the KINGDOM OF GOD.

You can mock it all you want. the fact is, unless you are born again, You will never see Zion.. let alone live in it

What you throw out as trash...God has given great value to. What you value as truth is actually trash.

HahahahahaLOL....scripture please?.....
Here is one, but it won't support erroneous ideas . . .

John 14:16-18 KJV
16) And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
17) Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
18) I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

Much love!

LOL. And you didn't even say "born again one time...Born again, born again, born again...I gotcha! :jest:
If you truly knew what it means to be “ Born Again “ you wouldn’t be mocking it.....you’d be rejoicing and praising God all day long..

It’s an Honour and a Privilege to be Born Again...those who never talk about being Born Again, would concern me greatly.

He's just mocking you like he does most everyone else. I've been reading through the thread again, post after post after post of the same mocking. I've come to think he's got a pathological need to put others down. Post a provocative thread, then keep it stirred up to keep that emotional charge coming.

Much love!
