    What does "born again" mean?

    Agree. There is a Difference between the Holy Spirit being “WITH” a person and the Holy Spirit being “IN” a person. The Holy Spirit is not “permanent”….UNTIL the Holy Spirit has ENTERED “IN” a person… and Gods “WORKS”…(forgiving, circumcision of ones heart, new heart, planting of His Seed...

    I recognized my blessing were Because of the Holy Spirit “WITH” me…AND Confessed that Belief…and “TRUST” by, through, of that Confession…and Pledge of my Body (a living sacrifice) unto Him…that He IS FAITHFUL to fulfill His Word, and Never Leave me. Currently His Spirit “IN” me for the...

    What does "born again" mean?

    Hi. To further clarify… I do not “remember” ever Not believing. (Yet I KNOW we are Naturally born of a mans seed, and are NOT Naturally born Believing.) While I “BELIEVED” growing up, I did not “KNOW” the Lord God. IOW- I prayed, I trusted….yet did not “KNOW” Him, as having a one on one...

    What does "born again" mean?

    Hi~ I do not remember Not believing in God or In Christ Jesus. I was Not raised going to a Church. Over the years I tried different Churches, frankly didn’t care for them. As far as my beliefs, they are all Bible based. I Believe God is an eternal almighty Spirit, Creator and Maker of all...

    Thank you Dev for your thoughts. The Surgery procedure was a success. The Incision for the Surgery is healing as expected, without pain or incident. It is the drainage tubes, cath’s, prodding, cutting and such that have irritated internal tissues and the muscle craps causing discomfort and...

    Are christians justified by faith only?

    Agree. There is the very basics…In brief… Who, what, when, why, where. There is the WHO; giving & the WHO; receiving. There is the WHAT…believing, testifying, overcoming, FORGIVENESS, Sanctification, Covering, Cleansing, Restoring, Making Anew, Justification, Sealing, Claiming, Keeping, Taking...

    LOOKING FOR ISAIAH

    From early ancient teaching, the “revealing knowledge” is God is invisible to a human man eyes. However God had ways, means and an order to reveal to men, His “knowledge”. His “ways and means” was to reveal “unknown knowledge”, “things that would come to pass”….and when they did come to pass...

    We don’t “attend” a church. Tried different ones, didn’t like. Suffice to say, we “church” at home. Sometimes alone, sometimes with friends and family. Have some preacher friends that sometimes join. No “set time”, “locked doors” or “dress code”… and have the most Blessed Supreme teacher…...

    Son having heart surgery today.

    Just learned there was some very iffy moments when son was on the OR table. The Surgeon was a referral, not my sons “doctor” perse’. The Surgeon just revealed my sons condition was much worse than he was told, and figured that out when he was on the OR Table. He added, without the surgery, any...

    Son having heart surgery today.

    It’s an odd thing, that routinely little kids ask why, why, why this or that, and teens seem to stop asking why, and my perspective was to listen to Them and Ask Them why this or that. It seemed perplexing to Them at first, like, I don’t know “why” and nobody cares. It was I hope to think eye...
