And why "every common person" would be "born again"? Jesus spoke of something conditional, which evidently not everyone can acquire. John 3:3 In response Jesus said to him: “Most truly I say to you, unless anyone is born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God.” 4 Nic·o·deʹmus said to him...

The parallel passage in Luke tells what was "the disgusting thing that causes desolation," which Daniel said would surround Jerusalem and the temple. Luke 21:20 However, when you see Jerusalem surrounded by encamped armies, then know that the desolating of her has drawn near. Matt. 24:15...

As long as Jesus obeyed the rules that a human being must obey to remain healthy (which is equivalent to God's law), he would have lived forever as a human, because his body had not inherited imperfection from Adam, so Jesus did not inherit the natural death. That he could have lived forever...

Like who, for example?

Most of the characters on these forums are just pre-programmed machines used to manipulate Christians. :cool:

It's like a game for many people online. It goes like All born again are real Christians. I am born again. Are you born again? If you say you are born again, are you really a born again, or just a sayer?????? :contemplate:

Tell us more: how what you said, in your post I quoted before, happened in the first century about the way Christians were actually organized at that time ....

I hear that from anyone who posts on the internet. "Born again" from a biblical point of view has a lot of meaning to me... but when people say it online it seems like they want to play with something as serious as that. Those who call themselves "born again" on the Internet often talk a lot...

Was it like this in the first century?

Like saying: "you can't accept what others tell you ... but me". coffee:

Are you going to teach us what is unbiblical? What a joke! that you believe that there cannot be a group of people leading the congregation, and at the same time you believe that you can tell others what is unbiblical!!! :jest:

They don't know what "THE Church" is. The idea that most Christians have at this time about "the church" points to a virtual community formed by individuals who can be in any Christian group without difference, accept any of the doctrinal variants about many things without difference, have...

I understand that some people have the idea that every Christian has to become independent and live their own "Christianity"... So they try to make others believe that they should do the same. The main issue here is: They advise this 1) because they do it and it turns out well, or 2)...

So, yes, you are missing the point. As you can see here: Acts 15:1 Now some men came down from Judea and began to teach the brothers: “Unless you get circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.” 2 But after quite a bit of dissension and disputing by Paul and Barnabas...

Since I am a Jehovah's Witness I don't think I am missing any point, but you are. :) Tell me something: Do you think that 49 AD Christians had "a steward" who decided what those who became Christians should believe and practice, or do you think they did not have one? A clue: Acts 15:1 Now...

Bible skeptics are looking for something they want to call "historical Jesus," which they can't seem to find in biblical Christian writings. What would be that "historical Jesus" that you want to have? One that doesn't work miracles? ... more credible to unbelievers? to whom the entities of the...

You call it institution. I call it: one people that thinks as one. :) The Bible describes that this way: 1 Cor. 1:10 Now I urge you, brothers, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you should all speak in agreement and that there should be no divisions among you, but that you may be...

Everyone knows that Christianity extends its roots back to the very first century in which Jesus lived. Christian congregations did not appear a century after Jesus died, but were already created just a few months after his death. By the end of the first century there was already an...

@marks I am very pleased that you agree with us, Jehovah's Witnesses, on this important issue. If we did not have the Scriptures: how could we distinguish faith supported by facts and blind credulity, between apostate teachings and Christian teachings, between pagan religious practices and...

Jesus made a related question: Matt. 24:45 “Who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time? 46 Happy is that slave if his master on coming finds him doing so! 47 Truly I say to you, he will appoint him over...
