So, I guess you do think you are born again. And: whose child did you become? Jehovah's? The trinity's? Jesus'? 1 Pet. 1:3 Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, for according to his great mercy he gave us a new birth to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ...

Nobody is born when he wants to. Nobody adopts his father, but some persons go to look for the child to adopt. This "born again" thing became a joke for most Christians out there. Let's talk about being born again from the biblical point of view. First thing first: being born to be whose child?

Mmmh, "spiritually discerned"? What about what Paul said here? 1 Cor. 15:27 For God “subjected all things under his feet.” But when he says that ‘all things have been subjected', it is evident that this does not include the One who subjected all things to him. 28 But when all things will have...

God is supposed to be in the Supreme position, the highest position in the entire Universe, and is placed as absolute Majesty. For that reason the Bible calls him God of gods. However, Jesus has a God (John 20:17; Rev. 3:12). Doesn't that tell you anything?

Mmmh, not cool. :( Of course, there is a special proskyneo that can be given to the Father, but not only to him as you can see before ... I have only been showing you the use of the word in the Scriptures and you get violent unnecessarily. There is another word with the "worship" sense that...

I just proved you wrong :) (Matt. 18:26; Rev. 3:9).

So, when you read Rom. 5:12-14, what do you think of exactly what is said there?

@Davy , look these cases: Abraham renders himself "proskyneo" to the Hittites (Canaanites) as owners of the land he wished to purchase as a burial place for Sarah (Gen. 23:4-20 ... note verses 7 and 12 especially); Jacob and all his people render Esau "proskyneo" (Gen. 33: 3-7); Moses renders...

Jesus said that someone can be SINNING without doing it, just by thinking about it. Is that included in your definition of SIN?

I disagree. :) Did you check about that word beside those texts (like in Matt. 18:26; Rev. 3:9, or its use in the LXX) and without the trinitarian prejudices? And: do you think the astrologers were worshiping a God or giving homage to a King?

I never talk about SALVATION, but about what organized Christians should do according to the Bible.

Yeap, and posting in other forums already ... I don't like to talk much about me. I am here mostly to talk about my beliefs and read about other's. I belong to a very large community of Christians who adore Jehovah as God and got my social life among them. My participation on the forum is about...

If "Spirit baptism" (whatever you think it is or function at modern times) were a replacement for water baptism, Jesus would not have been baptized. Water baptism is a fundamental and primary teaching of Christians. There are too many "independent" Christians today and they don't know how to...

That "worship" stuff is not what you think it is. It is a very common practice at that time to show respect at very diferent levels without implicating deity at all. It is simple to verify: look for that Greek word in all the NT and in the LXX and you'll be surprised.

Bible says sin entered the world through Adam, and the only meaning it could have is that SIN became a genetic thing. What do you think is SIN? SIN is not only an obvious act that violates a principle or norm, but ALSO the predisposition of someone to do something that is wrong even if he...

Thank you :)

@Matthias , I think that's the point of maturity that people have to come to on their own at some point... I also think some people will never be able to get there, because of their own reaction to the truth... I think truthful information and good behavior must go together; If someone loves...

@Taken , thank you :) @Matthias , thank you. I believe Jesus is the Son of God, not God-Son, and that means to me that only his Father is God, and his Father and God is the same God in the whole Scriptures ... the God of Noah and Enoch, the God of Abraham, of Isaac and of Jacob, the God of...

4 in the morning in Atlanta and I am awake, but anxious to get to my tenth post and then be able to rest until the next chance at the forum. And this is it TENTH POST. Thank you for your answers to my questions. Good morning. Postdata: sorry if my English is a little weird. My first language...

I did change to "Christian". I guess after the ten posts I can do it in other forums. But, anyway, is not that a little rude and unfair to other people who do not have any bad motive to post in other forums? Bad habits can be in "Christian" people too. God is not partial (Acts 10:34,35).
