    What does it mean to be born again?

    You're saying that David was wrong. (I noticed you erased the sentence that condemned David...yea...not a wise move) And Ezekiel was also being a false witness? And that's just 2 citations from the bible you mock at. Why do you raise your emotional understanding above the bible? I could post...

    I'll repost this, since the truth gets washed out in carnal religious reactions... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ We are talking about OT righteousness.

    What does it mean to be born again?

    You deflected my posting of scriptures. You did exactly what you said I did. If you were honest you would look at what I posted rather than post non-related indoctrination verses and then accuse me of ignoring your post. You need to learn what righteousness is... People love to be propped up in...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    You are reacting in an emotional way to what is written plainly and clearly in the bible. Address what the bible says...not deflect into something that you are fixated on...that ruins your understanding of deeper things. Do you believe that the bible comes from the inspired words from God?...or...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Carnal reactions are never based on logic. It's emotional. The same goes for misinterpreting the bible. If it gives you are temporary "high" emotionally...and then that's it...you're hooked. And even if there are dozens of other verses that negate what you have bought into...that doesn't count...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    We are talking about OT righteousness. Before Jesus came to bring the higher walk in Him, based on a new kind of faith (the faith OF Christ) there was a common righteousness among the meek and God fearing. This is something the Jews understand very well...but people who come to God based on the...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    An outer man discernment...yes...the same one you have adopted now firmly. Edify each other in that... Tell each other how special you are to God. Ignore all the warnings in the bible about mollycoddling the flesh.

    What does it mean to be born again?

    You go from thread to thread looking for a religious outer man affirmation...and when you don't get it...you cry foul. That is your modus operandi. Start another thread where you can receive pats on the back. Maybe discuss how saved you are and such. You are NOT insterested in looking deeper in...

    Isn't there somebody on the forum called "Not me" ...I suggest you ask him.

    What does it mean to be born again?

    I know you can help yourself here...you want to claim it for yourself. But the Laodiceans did that very thing. Why not identify with being poor, naked, wretched, and blind,....????? The more you claim the riches of God ....when not walking in resurrection power...the more religious you...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    God is impressed by faith. Enoch impressed God so much that he was translated to be with the Lord then and there. But who is wondering why Enoch is used as an example of faith in the NT context? The righteous live by their faith. However, the holy live by the faith of Christ. Is it evil to...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    The flesh? All I see from you is an apologetic for putting yourself at the forefront of the plan of God.

    What does it mean to be born again?

    The "why can't it be both' is like a Cinderella syndrome...thinking I (ego) is the central part of the story (foundational). The story is about what God did for ME. Such a person can't abide the idea that the story is about becoming selfless. Such a person is afraid to lose themselves. It's...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    You are the one who said that the crows were doing so because of zeal for the truth. Do you remember your own words? I have dealt with many people...who remain cool, calm and collected, but firmly rooted in the flesh...now become religious. I will leave you to yourself and God.

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Way to deflect...I think you are becoming more of a crow. You weren't so sure if you would side with people like Behold...but you are moving that way. In Jeremiah, there is given to him from God a ministry that has twice as much tearing down as building up. Tearing down gets to the root of the...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Exactly. So why can't you see what you are doing? Why the blindness? Amen.

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Could you be a crow sympathizer? You seem immune to the truth. Preferring what you already have to what is possible by going to God for more. So what's the alternative? The flesh! Religion! vanity! You want to add yourself into the mix...like Eve did. Making this about YOUR advancement. You...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    This is your speculation. The churches were mixed with new and older believers. Some were carnal and some were spiritual. Do you know the bible well enough or do I have to post verses? The things of Christ. Righteousness always was. The New Covenant is about the higher walk...that's what's...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    says who? Neither describe moral excellence. Righteousness is based on the wisdom of humility, honesty and godly fear. The righteous sin. The holy are pure as God is pure. Sinless...by the power of grace. Again very wrong. There is a huge difference between being humble about one's fallen...
