    What does it mean to be born again?

    You're ranting again... Of course that is what you teach...that Jesus is a minister of your sin. You have stated that Jesus is now responsible for your sins (not you having any responsibility) so that you can claim untruthfully to be as righteous as God. Your gospel has no power but to cover up...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Amen! May all who assume and presume to be holy based on a carnal religious reading of the bible be exposed and repent into the way, the truth and the life. :)

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Hypocrites visit my threads all the time...and turn them into a freak show. But my ministry is to try helping deceived brethren and correct them from their error...thus saving their souls from death and covering a multitude of sins. What religion does to people ain't pretty. But if you want to...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Do you realize that the unbelieving mentioned in the Bible are never those who are not in the loop...like people of other religions, ...but always God's people? You need to read Exodus again...and then Hebrews that talks about the people of Israel not entering into the Land because of unbelief...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    It's exactly my own. What you mean is that it has no bearing on Luther's gospel...who totally misunderstood Paul...as Peter said the unlearned and unstable would. So then you champion Luther over Paul and the teachings of Jesus...because they sound good to your religious flesh. But that way is a...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Yes He did Yes, the dead religious works rather than the life-giving works of Christ. I thought you were the Calvinist. I think you are either drunk or high on something. Speaking with religious Jews doesn't make someone a religious Jew. Jesus sat down with sinners and the Pharisees said He...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Preach the gospel always, and if necessary, use humour. ;)

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Spiritual fruit not religious nuts, remember? Legalists read the bible but have no understanding of God and His ways. "I desire mercy not sacrifice". The Pharisees were just as certain in their judgments as you are right now. They thought how can this obviously false rabbi be championing...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    A dogmatic understanding cannot fathom the ways of God. Trying to filter the wisdom of God as revealed in the bible just makes you a judgmental theorist...which doesn't work out well for you. God will have His way. 1. God will have mercy on whomever He wills. That means He doesn't need mere...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    People will claim to walk in God's resurrection power...even as they sin. So they are making-believe. Such a walk exists and was experienced in the early church. But being rich and spoiled doesn't mean we deserve the privileges of the life to com. Almost all believers walk exclusively in their...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    The kingdom within...is only experienced within by being allowed into the kingdom realm. And in Hebrew the word for within can also mean among. Look it up.... An outer anointing brings out the buried talent within...so that an eternal fruit is produced. maybe too much to go over here.

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Within a man is nothing but corruption. Seeking God WHERE He is indeed can get you a template of Christ...but still, if you look to build on something within yourself...you will have a mixture which is iniquity. For the honest believer....who refuses to pretend with religion (which so many...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    The spirit of Amalek. Those who combine their carnal reasoning with the words of God. It catches the simple ones...the ones who lag behind. it preys on the weak...and the newer converts...making them dogmatic ideologues rather true disciples of Christ. There is a great temptation to try being...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    The land is the kingdom of God..spiritual Zion. We are not to seek our own bodies. We are to seek the life that is found in Christ...in Zion. Seek first the kingdom...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    That's a religious mindset you have going there. You add in ideas of your own...unable to quote any verse properly...without a religious affectation that you ascribe to it. I just call that dishonesty. Cornelius was a just man BEFORE He was baptized in the Spirit. Cornelius sympathized with the...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Ah, the faith of a child... not so easy when our minds are used to rational thinking. This is by degrees. We already see how people can get so wrapped up in their own understanding that they go so far as to justify themselves in their blindness. The humble will never go that far. But then there...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    The religious outer man seeks to justify himself and condemn others. "Truth" is used by him (the outer man) as an artifice to justify the hatred and vitriol that has its source in the sin nature. We are to speak actual truth in actual love. Condemnation is of the devil. Pharisees now, as then...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    You take all the "fun" out of fundamentalism. :rolleyes: Judge not lest you be judged. Show a little wisdom. Less hostility and more love. Why do you direct your attention to my thread? Inside you are crying out for something...something pure, something without all the hate and hostility. Take...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Proudly is right! Doesn't God resist the proud? Doesn't He give grace to the humble? So then I'll stick with the humble. And the humble ones don't need to be called out...because it's just the ones who are not proud. And I will follow only Christ. Pride aside....what are you doing on this...
