    Born again - Before, or After, the Call?

    From Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible: Was the Word - Greek, “was the λόγος Logos.” This name is given to him who afterward became “flesh,” or was incarnate (Joh_1:14 - that is, to the Messiah. Whatever is meant by it, therefore, is applicable to the Lord Jesus Christ. There have been many...

    Born again - Before, or After, the Call?

    Do you mean the human being named Jesus; or do you mean the Word who became, though incarnation, the human being named Jesus?

    Born again - Before, or After, the Call?

    So your view is that we inherit a sin nature from our father? I don't think you can get that from Scripture or from biology. Actually, I don't think you can even find a reference to a sin nature in Scripture. Are you sure His divinity came from God the Father and not God the Holy Spirit...

    Born again - Before, or After, the Call?

    I haven't claimed that you are not a Christian. I would not ordinarily do such a thing. I have no reason to believe that at all. And neither are you. Given your assertions of superiority, I am not sure you should be trying to take anyone to task for pride; this last reply doesn't display...

    Born again - Before, or After, the Call?

    Well, I think it is just as I expected. [removed] Peace and may God bless you.

    Born again - Before, or After, the Call?

    Seriously, what is the difference, specifically, between being born again and being born from above? By what means is anyone born again or the alternative, according to you, born from above. Which, if either, have you experienced?

    Born again - Before, or After, the Call?

    Do you even know what it means to be born again or born from above? What is the result of that? Why is it needed? What is the significance of being "born", whether again or from above? And finally, given that you see such a difference between the words that Jesus used versus the word that...

    Born again - Before, or After, the Call?

    Maybe the same term that Peter used? 1Pe 1:23 since you have been born again (ἀναγεννάω [anagennaō]), not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God; From Strong's G313 ἀναγεννάω anagennaō an-ag-en-nah'-o From G303 and G1080; to beget or (by...

    Born again - Before, or After, the Call?

    Was the Word who became the "son of man", a human being, an enslaved immoral agent like the rest of us?

    Understanding : Acts 2:38

    I haven't denied any of that. Baptism in the name of Jesus Christ is when God forgives your sins and gives you the gift of the Holy Spirit.

    What are we doing?

    No. There are many references that speak to bearing fruit; but it is the only reference that speaks to being known by the fruits.

    Understanding : Acts 2:38

    You have done that with your Zwingliism.

    Understanding : Acts 2:38

    Neither of your questions are worthy questions. They make a mockery of God's teaching. Baptism is the time in the life of the repentant believer when God "cleanses the garments". That is the occasion when God forgives the sins of the repentant believer and gives him the gift of the Holy...

    What are we doing?

    If you are referring to Matthew 7, it was false prophets that were identified by their fruits.

    What are we doing?

    It is a dangerous game when you, personally, think that you know who does and does not "know Jesus". It is too much like the Pharisee in Luke 18:9-14. The Pharisee didn't go there either.

    Harris Wins Soros Backing While Other Billionaire Donors Want an Open Contest

    Whoever Soros is backing should be rejected out of hand. Soros is evil to the core. His goal is to destroy the United States of America.

    Can Kamala Harris talk her way out of these disasters?

    Can Kamala Harris talk her way out of these disasters? The obvious answer for about half or more of the voting population of the U.S. is yes she can. That it unfortunate but it is true.

    Musk's personal testimony

    Far too many of the Attorneys General where such atrocities are going on are Woke Leftists. They will not prosecute.

    Musk's personal testimony

    The Woke Left is evil in the Biblical sense. It is not that they sin and sometimes do wrong. They are evil in intent. They need to be criminally charged and brought to trial. Until that happens on a regular basis, it will not be stopped. Evil, if not punished societally, will expand and grow...
