Born-Again
I often think the same about you since all you can say is "I am born again" with no real idea as to what it means, apart from the airy fairy descriptions you give. What is the purpose of being "born again" ? Why did God choose you? What will be the point of it if you cant tell us why you were chosen apart from the fact that you believe you are? You can't even tell me what God's Kingdom is, and yet our commission from Jesus is to preach and teach about it....(Matt 24:14)
I gave you God’s word..unfortunately you aren’t understanding it.
And what you post is YOUR personal understanding....we both can't be right.....so who is in for a surprise at the end of the day?
Jesus will let us both know.....won't he?
Everything I post is scriptural.
Is there no purpose to being "born again" except the feeling that you are? That is what makes no sense to me.
Yes, but again you evade the questions.....what is the reason for God to choose some from among mankind as "firstfruits" and take them to heaven? (Rev 14:1-5) If you don't know, then I can only assume that you are misled.
Please give us the reason why God chose some humans to go to heaven, when he designed us to live on this beautifully prepared earth? Was Adam ever told about heaven and hell? If not, why not?
And herein lies the dilemma.....because what I say makes no sense to you, yet it is all scripturally backed.....can you really assume that you can't be the one in error, in spite of the fact that you are the one with no answers for anything?
Nothing you say is scriptural....a JW is a cult ...a dangerous cult and is in grave danger.
Again....this is all your own understanding of what God’s word is saying.What do you think Christendom is? It is one gigantic man made "cult", if you want to use that definition....all based on the teachings of men. These men have an agenda and satan is the sower promoting of all the "weeds" of his false religion.
When the Pharisees were accusing Jesus of blasphemy....who were the real blasphemers? Did they believe that they were? Or was Jesus just a trouble making "cult leader" who needed to be exposed and silenced?
Yes, but did Nicodemus ever get the message? The Bible does not say that he ever became a believer. He came to Jesus on the quiet because he didn't want the Jews to think he was a traitor. Fear of man is a snare. It took courage in that environment to be "different."
You are quite correct in saying that only those chosen by God can be "born again"....but the genuinely "born again" know exactly what their choosing means and they already know before their resurrection what role they will play in the Kingdom of God....since you appear to be absolutely clueless, apart from your oft quoted verses....I am left to question the validity of your claim.
There is no doubt in my mind that God chooses his "saints" and has, by his spirit conveyed to these ones the reason for their choosing.
I have yet to hear any reasons at all as to what your "born again" status will mean in the big scheme of things....it appears that you don't have a big picture at all, but are simply staring at a few small pieces in one corner of the box.
A JW....is a false teaching.....period.
The word of God says, we must be Born Again.......I don’t want any more discussion with a JW..
Your words make absolutely NO sense to me as a Born Again......JW are false teachers.....God’s word says you must be Born Again...his word does not say you must be a JW.....
All that you have written above...has got absolutely NOTHING to do with a Born Again.....you are just going through the History of the Bible in your own strength/ understanding and it shows.
None of my questions to you were answered.
Why...because they were the word of God.....which you cannot deny.
You said I throw around the words Born Again and I will continue to preach the word of God.
We must be Baptised in the Spirit, then we are Born Again..then we see the Kingdom of God.
That is the Living word of God.
JW is a cult and a leadership unto themselves....thank God they don’t knock on our doors anymore....pushing their false doctrine onto others.
When Jesus says to Nicodemus you must be Born Again.
Why wasn’t he understanding Jesus teaching?
