    What does it mean to be born again?

    I am not chasing after them to torment them before their time...they come to get rebukes to their outer man from me (and you). Its driven by a desire to overcome their own flesh...but since they have no strength, courage or faith, to face up to their own flesh... they come to me to do it for...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    If I wasn't met with so much dishonesty, hatred and religious contempt...I would speak with more seriousness. But I can't take seriously what is obviously a carnal religious mind posing as something greater than it is. Children play acting invite play. Only a fool would try explaining in all...

    I think the fail is on more than one level here...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    I believe in God's mercy and love for humankind. I am against certain religious types who decide who is saved and who isn't. That is the province of the Pharisees...then as well as now. People will fail the test of mercy and love...who look to justify themselves based on their beliefs. And...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Also grace. If we have been given mercy and grace, we are required to extend that mercy and grace to others. We are to see ourselves as a conduit of God's love to others and not its final destination. God is selfless...and those who would be with Him should also learn to be as selfless. (at...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Well you are very unlike the people that religiously invade my threads. What gets spoiled believers in a big snit is for them to be told that "to whom much is given MORE (not less) is required." As long as your eyes are not rolling in the back of your head upon hearing that...I think we can...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    I have not seen such civility...even among "believers". :)

    What does it mean to be born again?

    What you are saying is that you will not follow all my threads and hurl abuse and all manner of evil on me for simply speaking the truth? Oh. OK! ;)

    What does it mean to be born again?

    You'd have to be able to correctly divide the word to see the difference between what gets somebody cut off from God for eternity and what is practical and avoids difficulties in this life. And you never admitted that Hebrews 3 and 4 are about unbelieving believers...and God's wrath being...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Always willing to welcome someone who actually speaks the truth...in love. :)

    What does it mean to be born again?

    You can't help yourself. Always accusing me of what you're doing. Seek help.

    What does it mean to be born again?

    My "sect" is the same as the one Paul ascribed to himself..... described as... " this sect that is everywhere spoken against" or... T.S.E.S.A. Acts 28: 22 "But we desire to hear of you what you think: for as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against." How the truth is...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    There is a temptation among the "born-again" crowd to look down on the Jews. Of course, there are Jews that do likewise to the Gentiles. But all this is carnal and impedes an understanding of the bible and its teachings. If we negate the Jews as being God's people under the Old Covenant, we...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    The forum is not diabolic. It is what you make it. To the pure everything is pure, but to the impure everything is impure. To the possessed one everything is diabolic. Consider your spiritual condition. There is freedom and salvation at the cross.

    What does it mean to be born again?

    You're using a post from yesterday to get attention to yourself today. Your ability to discern truth from eror is non-existant. What else you want to convey about yourself today?

    What does it mean to be born again?

    I do. I thank God for the privilege of being hated for speaking as He tells me to speak. I don't want to see people judged. But how will they turn from their ways unless they are warned? And you are also hated... so then you are standing in the truth by trusting the Lord.

    What does it mean to be born again?

    We see modern anti-Semitism created by religious clerics from Christendom in the early centuries AD (and yet they copied so many of their religious ways) ...who wanted to diminish the Jews as God's people. You perhaps saw that same bigotry displayed here in an above post to minimize the lesson...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Backwards. Were the Jews the people of God that were seen by God as unbelieving? Yes or no...You won't be honest to answer this as it destroys your religious pretense. ...and don't deflect with anti-Semitism. Again...those who accuse me of doing the very thing they are doing...obfuscating the...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Your anti-Semitism is equal to your anti-Catholicism. It is on full display here...and is very wrong. I say the people of God...but to you they are merely Jews and nothing to be compared to you. A bigot doesn't know they are a bigot. It's no wonder you can so easily ignore the people of God...
