    What does it mean to be born again?

    Not wrestling with flesh and blood. Good luck dealing with those religious spirits, they are very smart and ya just can't win an argument with the devil. Narcissists are like that too, can never win an argument with a narcissist either, because the devil helps them, lol. Debating with the...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    They sure are, and you encourage the unruliness, as well as participate in it. Judgment begins with the house of the Lord. And Jesus led the way, as our forerunner. And we as His house also undergo judgment (chastisements of the flesh as a Father chastises His sons who He loves) in this...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    The scripture says God GAVE His only begotten Son...and in Gethsemane Jesus said to the Father "if you will, please take this cup from me, nevertheless not my will but THY WILL be done". Jesus laid down His life in obedience to the FATHER. He also said to Pilate, "you would have no power over...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Amen. It's righteousness (works) and faith working together. Not one without the other. We have some preaching that you don't need any works, saying that faith without works is good enough, and then we have others preaching you don't need faith, that works (righteousness) alone is good...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    A tree is known by its FRUITS sister. Rather than going by my own emotions, I just accept the Word of God. It's not complicated. There has been ample fruit being thrown and thus exposed on this thread to be able to judge it. You are ensnared in a snare and not able to be objective. I just...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Yes, but it is righteousness born of faith, mixed with faith. Better rightly divide those scrips you are bringing. A person must be stone deaf and blind as a mole to ignore those scriptures in Heb. 11. "I, the Lord, do not change" between the OT and the NT, there is no shadow of turning in...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Might as well give it up sir. The gig is up. You are as obvious as if you were wearing cellophane. I no longer even entertain the possibility that you might be sincere. And I would warn others: 2Co 11:13-15 For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Oh, what's this, just more ad hominem accusation and belittlement. But no response to the SCRIPTURES I just posted. They are very clear but rather than address THEM you are addressing me with more accusation and belittlement, as is your usual way. I feel there is nothing more to do here, but...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    There is as much accountability around here as with two-year olds, I'm afraid. They will never see or admit to any wrong that they do. They have a need to fiercely protect SELF and that is why when proven wrong rather than simply admit to being wrong they start to throw things at you. But God...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Hebrews 11. All the OT saints had faith. It was not righteousness alone. It seems that some want to make a case that people can be accepted/saved by their own righteousness, but no, that is simply contrary to what the bible teaches. Heb 11:1-40 Now faith is the substance of things hoped...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    It was righteousness mixed with FAITH, not righteousness apart from faith. Abraham's faith wrought with his works, as with all the other righteous OT saints.

    What does it mean to be born again?

    God forgive you. That your overseer encourages this behaviour says a lot. Your little girl needs to learn some discipline and self restraint sister.

    The Crucified Flesh

    Exactly. Rom. 6 is clearly speaking to all believers who have received Christ and been baptized, not just a few. (But don't expect any acknowledgment from a certain quarter because that would mean humbly admitting a mistake.) But I wonder if possibly it can be read on two levels, so to...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    It's just convenient for you to assume so.

    What does it mean to be born again?

    No, his discernment is quite right.

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Yes, good point, but you should be making it to those who need it. Mark was just making an observation. Anyway, the Lord sees.

    What does it mean to be born again?

    I agree brother. It's taken me quite a long time to see this clearly. And without honest objectivity and accountability, there can't be any progress.

    What does it mean to be born again?

    "I agree! But…I’m confused as to how you are able to see this, based on much else you have said…" Your words. Maybe you misspoke. But if I misunderstood your post, I apologize.

    Please just consider what I brought, and I will leave you to the Lord.

    What does it mean to be born again?

    You were very surprised at the insight I shared.. Yes, I asked about where things stood with you, because I didn't know where you were coming from, based on some of the things you were saying or agreeing to etc. But we all have our blind spots regardless. Areas of strengths and weaknesses...
