I’ve already told you I’m Born Again, work it out for yourself..I only answer to God, thanks.
lol

Born again does not mean you follow Christ.

Again, Do you follow Christ?

Why are you so defensive? Why are you so proud? Because you know what we are going to say if you say yes you follow God? (like we all do)

I don’t care what “ you” think...I will reserve my thoughts on what I think about you...I only care what God thinks ...and again I believe he relayed a message to me about you..again I will keep those thoughts to myself.
If you cared what God thinks, you would confess of your sins of bearing false witness.

Are you listening to Satan again?

Go ahead, and share? You going to cuss me out again?

I don’t confess any sins, all my sins are on Jesus.

A Born Again cannot go on sinning because they have been Born Again of imperishable..which you unfortunately imo, have no spiritual understanding of.

the whole chapter..

but read this one verse

Romans 1:20
For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,
Like I say, does a foolish decision deserve eternal torture?

It's not one sin.

It's your very nature to stand opposed to God, to literally hate what God loves, and to love the things God hates.

Your entire nature is completely corrupted.

When you are saved you nature itself is turned back to God...

Just remember, we are seeing opinions posted above, as is mine...always check what is said with Gods word...

Not everyone who claims to be Born Again...are....only God knows who are his.

I don’t see anywhere in scripture where God says ,when we are saved our nature itself is turned back to God...that is not biblical.

A Born Again has been Born Of The Spirit...that is Gods word.

When you are saved you nature itself is turned back to God...you are regenerated and reborn. Receiving a new Spirit.
That’s not how God says we are Born Again?

That’s your own understanding of how you believe we are Born Again.

Who taught you that confused doctrine?

Show me where I said Satan can’t deceive me.

Read my posts again!...I said he can attack my head..he cannot touch my heart.

Stop accusing me of what you keep doing yourself.
But he can touch your heart. How else can you be devoured?

I am not accusing you of anything you do not do.

Yes .

We are born as sinners because God decreed the sins of Adam would fault the world. Our sin nature is of God.

God is not God if he is not the source of all that exists.
If it were not the fact that Jesus paid that debt for us. and will save all who believe. I would agree with you.

But God does not force us to remain in unbelief.

He cannot touch my heart, I am Born Again of imperishable seed.

He can drive my mind crazy...do you actually understand that the Holy Spirit indwells our heart/ spirit.

How else would we know we have been Born Of The Spirit?
