And I agree with it after the disclaimer. (the warning) The irony is that it just needed to add in the first part as part of the fallacies that are possible :) As in... Warning Implicit can also include a level that means secret! You will get into all sorts of trouble if you don't try to find...

A person who is born again doesn't keep talking about being born again unless he is speaking from an indoctrinated dogma. A real born again person speaks FROM that place...not ABOUT it.

Are you saying that the Op is correcting itself by saying there is more truth than it is portraying? As in...I don't really know what I'm saying?

I disagree with this. The message of the bible is on different levels. Most people understand the literal part. But fewer and fewer will understand the deeper truth. It is a real problem when you limit the word to what can be apprehended with the carnal mind. God is deeper than men.(Otherwise...

And right there is the problem. God has no favourites. A person can be born again or say he is born again but the proof is always in the pudding so to speak. I see the most immature people calling themselves born again. So I eschew labels in favour of truth and reality...not beliefs and dogmas...

Instant salvation as instant gratification. And this of course without cost to the self-centered notion of life and the pursuit of ego driven gains. Modern evangelism has evolved (or devolved) into a very effective psychological ploy that is perpetrated under the guise of biblical truth. Truth...

Being born again is an individual consideration The OP is the effect of Islam on all of Christendom....and that includes BAC's...because these are still human and are not evolved so often to the point of discerning the forces that affect the world...or even themselves in most cases. So you are...

I'm always interested in a deeper seeking with a brother. I believe we should even be helping each other in our own argumental position. The idea is for the dialectic to bring us both to a better understanding. Like playing together in harmony to produce an edifying music. But not all people...

My proposition to you is...do you want to shoot at the target with more accuracy or not? If you say to me...how dare you think you can shoot better or know more about shooting than me...then I will see that your ego is involved. But if you challenge me to a shoot out...I will gladly accept for...

Can others here help marks to see what he is missing? I am asking in all sincerity. I wish you could understand my answer....but I don't think you would be able to hear my explanation as to why you can't track what I'm saying. Your ego would get in the way...because you are looking for...

I just want to add the qualifier to how I see truth for the reason that some people react against my methods. I see truth in layers. Like target shooting at a varying distance. If a truth understanding is accurate a bullseye is scored. But if I see a person as missing the target...or better...

We can't communicate well because you are not seeing that I did in fact answer your question and in great detail. If you say "only Christianity"...and I say "All of humanity"...then my "all of humanity" means I'm not saying Christianity. I'm making a bigger statement. I'm not limiting the...

We all as humanity want to see the end of suffering and oppression...especially towards the innocent. But that day of reckoning will do more than we think. If we have our cake we will have to eat it too! We also will have to be subject to the truth in judgment. Many people who clamour for truth...

In the coming kingdom (1,000 years) Jesus and His Bride will rule with a rod of iron. Sin will no longer be tolerated. Oppression will cease. Transgressions will be shut down and severely so. Now the level that this "totalitarianism" will exist in personal experience will depend on the deviance...

Our sincere condolences Larry! May the comfort of God's own Spirit and love be yours. <>< John

I think that something is being overlooked here. Jesus took on the LIKENESS of sinful flesh. He was NOT sinful. So in like fashion Jesus also got baptized...in order to fulfill ALL righteousness...even though He didn't need to. Jesus did the things He did with us in mind...not Himself. That may...

What is not so obvious for many of us is that Jesus was not totalitarian in any way. When His disciples tried going that way Jesus shut them down. He said... Mark 9:38 And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him...

Actually not so extreme. In this life you are shut out of the kingdom without the new birth...yes. Jesus is saying that you cannot see and act in the kingdom in this life without the rebirth. But spiritual birth in this life is more than just salvation...it is to walk in the One who brings a...

I'm not speaking of the very real sectarian and elitist stance of the leaders among the Jews....but of the tradition of there being a way out for non-Jews based on a righteous life...especially one that showed kindness to the Jews. And this is an accepted tenet of Judaism. Have you heard of Yad...

If you look at the text without the totalitarian mindset...Jesus is speaking of a spiritual faculty that comes along with being born from above...that of seeing kingdom things. That is akin to saying that if you were to get the gift of a set of binoculars...you would be able to see farther...
