    You mean like Paul?

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Do you know the difference between teaching and testimony?

    What does it mean to be born again?

    What are you claiming here..to be of the tribe of Benjamin? Why are you citing Paul's testimony? Were you also shipwrecked 3 times?

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Here you take an initial stage too far. We are baptized into His death...who we used to be. But it still takes the Spirit to overcome the deeds of the flesh. When I talk about walking without sin...I get all kinds of unbelief and abuse! Why? Because that level of walk is not given (usually) as...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    I saw the thread you started...and I know you want to reconcile your life to the scriptures. And that's not a bad thing in itself. The problem lies when we want to justify ourselves by a reading of the bible. What is Romans 6 about? It's about being the people of God on the New Covenant scale...

    Oops double post. See above...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    This is good Mark. It's best to leave judgment to God. And so often we may be going directly against the Lord's will and heart by not being willing to be corrected. it's funny that we will pray to God for instruction and understanding..and when it comes, we don't like the vessel that God chose...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    You are trying to make a minor point obscure a major point. That's your religious flesh at work...It's like you getting arrested for shoplifting then pointing out how pretty a dress is. Wrath is wrath...and that's more important to understand in order to avoid it than in the factoid that some...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    The truth is being abused. I speak the truth...and then I get attacked for it...because the flesh gets uncomfortable around the Spirit of truth. It is between the Spirit and the flesh....and you are speaking by the power of the flesh..which you neither perceive nor care to understand.

    What does it mean to be born again?

    What I said was...I mock people that mock God. So if you mock God....then I will mock you. Notice what God says.. "He that sits in the heavens shall laugh: The Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, And vex them in his sore displeasure. Yet have I set my...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    After you acknowledge that I was talking about the wrath of God. But that's not our concern. You do realize that we are not to be concerned with the judgment of unbelievers? Exactly my point. But many Christians WILL experience the wrath of God. Are you interested?

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Amen. Being online is not like being in person. I find that people say and do worse things online because they think they can get away with it. But a Christian should realize that he will come under judgement for every idle word.

    What does it mean to be born again?

    The inner man is weak and trapped (imprisoned) within the carnal outer man. Religion just puffs him up. But Jesus came to set us free..by crucifying the outer man and empowering the inner man to walk as Jesus walked.

    What does it mean to be born again?

    I mock people who mock God and His ways...people like you. I can't take you seriously...but you really need help. Although your pride is killing you...I'm trying to speak into your inner man. But instead you will mock the Spirit that is trying to speak to you....through me. Of course this is...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    But I don't lie. I said I do it truthfully. I don't mock God and His ways. I mock people and their ways.

    Please elaborate...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    We receive the truth on 2 levels. One is that we realize we lack love, mercy, patience, kindness...etc..in our dealings with people. So we turn it around and do what we wouldn't normally do. We take a chance with others. And the other level of truth is that we are walking in an environment of...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Yes. You got it. I am a mirror. And I just point out what the person is seeing...why it is so...and how to escape it. I'm harmless....just trying to help my fellow believers the way I would want to be treated...with a little patience and humour...but speaking truthfully.

    What does it mean to be born again?

    I am speaking the truth. A religious spirit is tormented by the truth. Those who resist the truth will be rejected by the Lord...so it's better to get that sorted out now. I'm willing to be abused by carnal believers in order to help them see them past their own flesh. This is no judgment on my...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Exactly. look at the approach of those who need to go to the cross. Consider their cry for help. Do my videos come across to you as arrogant and pious? or is it the responses to the truth I teach such? I have a sense of humour. I don't get flustered easily...and I can play with the unserious...
