Not sure how to use this forum so I’ll start here.
Most that know me call me a Christian, I have no problem with that except, I still feel human.
If one is born again what is that one?
The Spirit wars against flesh,
The carnal mind is enmity against God,
Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom,
He that sinneth is of the devil,
That which I desire to do I cannot and that which I try not to do I find myself doing.
Oh wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
They say Christ but in what way?

Hi Avagabond,
One of our brothers on here a short while back had said "the more we study the bible, the more the things of the world fade. "Man does not live on bread alone, but by every word that comes out of Gods mouth" Meaning that He, Christ IS that bread...the Bread of Life. I can attest to it's truth. And the less time we spend away from reading or studying it, we fizzle out. Same goes for fellowshipping..."do not forsake the gathering..." As, we 'should' lift one another up when one of our sisters or brothers are going through tough times. It's a community, really.
God bless and lead you to some peace.
BTW-Some say once born again that they will never sin again, I totally disagree.
I hope God brings you peace in this matter.

We’ll thanks Nancy,
I like to question things, sometimes gets folks thinking.
Here is a thought,
“Man does not live by bread alone but by every word that “proceeded” out of the mouth of God.
There are two Greek words translated in the New Testament as “word” (kjv) . Rhema and logos.
Logos is a word spoken (past tense)
Rhema is a wors speaking (present tense)
It’s not just the written word that christians should live by, but the current “proceeding” words of God.
He that hath an ear to hear.
Thanks again Nancy

Thanks quiet thinker, I have limited access to internet so will watch the video at another time.
Working north in the Ogoki forest of Canada, just miles from the Hudson Bay.
Much appreciate the response!

Only a fool can say “in his heart” there is no God.
A fool is described as one with absolutely no judgement.
Can’t use any of the five senses to discern.
Not sure but I’m no fool, just don’t know as I ought too know
This is the fourth time in the last hour the word "discern" has come to my attention.
I been thinking about that word a lot today, and it just keeps popping up.
strange how that happens..

Nice to meet you Avagabond.
Hugs

you need to get some....two preferably.....and a broad brim hat so it can circulate in the rim....continually
problem is,
everytime I have pockets, I seem to burn a whole in them.
funny how that works..
and the hat would surely scare the fur off my cats..
I have a baseball cap and everytime I put it on their backs go up, their ears go back and their eyes get real wide.
funny how that works too..
lol
:D

Strange alright, that happens to me with baseball caps as well. It has come to symbolise all that sucks. As for the pockets, yer just gonna have to start putting those cigarette butts elsewhere or even stop inhaling that sh.t altogether. o_O

Nice to meet you Avagabond. Welcome.

You sound like a deep thinker....agnostics usually want to make sure of things before they commit.
I love all the things you’ve stated there.

If you had one subject that you’d like to explore, what would it be?
Start a thread....:)

Are you a ranger or a lumberjack? Or a what ;) ?

Hey, I know = Avagabond forester, right? :D
Grace, thanks so much for responding.
Much to take in there but will consider, greatly appreciated
You are Very Welcome. Take your time. Took me 10 years of study,
before I shared "Right Division" with anyone. Now, your first question:
If one is born again what is that one?
"That one" would be a "child Of God," With God's Spiritual "birth" From Above.
More is here of God's OPERATION On All HIS New-born babes In CHRIST!

Enjoy study #7!
Unless, of course, you are taking your time with the first six studies... :D

GRACE And Peace...
