In the context of this discussion it means having put your faith in Jesus Christ so that your sins have been forgiven and you have been born again. In our natural state we are spiritually dead. When we are saved we become spiritually alive. Here is how Jesus described it in John 5:24: Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.
"its like this andlikethat and like this and" ya ok well here's how he also described it,
you cross land and sea to make one convert, and then you turn them into twice the sons of hell you are
so theo, as i know you are a thoughtful person seeking Yah, maybe i could suggest as a thought experiment that you forget everything you know since its crap anyway, and find out why the pimps and hos are beating you into the kingdom, or at the very least learn the naive dialectic maybe?
i mean youre fine just like you are imo ok, but you of course wadr have not been born again yet, or you would not still be talking like a lawyer/professor imo see, in ambiguous religious sounding phrases that cannot be verified, or in Absolute Truths that can immediately be ignored?
so, im doing it again i guess arg, just feel free to ignore this ok, since youre going to anyway i guess, and go with that, what you said, im sure thats fine for now, and my apologies ok
all sins have been forgiven anyway
and no son of man may die for anothers sins, theo
Yah loves you ok bro, Yah is not mad at you, or eager to punish you, or anyone
what we are taught is absolute crap ok bro
have a nice day
