SHow me where I said this
I asked you the question how does he make you Alive in Christ?

You said “ me” is made Alive in Christ..not biblical my friend.
Again, what does this mean?

Made us alive, it is by grace in which we were saved.
I’ve answered how he made me Alive in Christ...

You said “ me” as in you he made Alive that isn’t biblical my friend?
how are we saved, by grace through faith.

Why do you just pic verses out of context? And not read the whole??

Again, Explain the verses above.
We are not saved not until we are Born Again, the two are in harmony with each other..

Show me where I post verses out of context, thanks.

Your personal attack only reiterates the evidence you have already provided. You can't answer RJ's Scripture questions civilly because your worldly consciousness is joined with your ego that lashes out when you are proven wrong by those who are Spirit led.

You can't fake this stuff.
I have answered he so many times over the past few months i have lost count

Who do you think you are to judge anyone?

Unless you have been here since the start of the conversation. I would back up. because you have no idea what is going on.

I answered her question. you are bearing false witness by saying i have not..

Shame on you!!!

You asked the question how does he make my spirit alive


You said “ me” is made Alive in Christ..not biblical my friend.
Not biblical?

eph 2: And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins,

Paul said specifially. That I was made alive who was dead in tresspasses and sin.

Now your calling paul a liar!



I’ve answered how he made me Alive in Christ...

You said “ me” as in you he made Alive that isn’t biblical my friend?
See above.


We are not saved not until we are Born Again,
I never said otherwise. there you go bearing false witness again.

Do you ever tire of lieing about other people?
the two are in harmony with each other..
Yep.

And I was saved by grace through faith..

No faith no salvation..
Show me where I post verses out of context, thanks.
Read my posts to you.. I am sick of showing you things over and over and you denying I have shown you

No you haven’t...you said “ me” as in you was Born Again..show me the scripture that says that please.

God has already told us how we areBorn Again my friend, by His Living Witness the Living Holy Spirit

There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

So, where is shame on you coming from?

It’s certainly not coming from the Spirit of God my friend.

I think shame on you is coming from inside of your heart?

John 1:10-13 KJV
10) He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11) He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12) But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13) Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

"Believing" and "receiving" are prerequisite to being reborn. They come first.

Received him, believe on his name, these verbs are active voice, meaning you do that, it's not done to you, or for you. You have to do it. You must receive Him, you must believe on his name, and it's only for those who do that God gives the right/authority/power to become His children.

Much love!
amen

the simplicity that is in christ

I’m calling no one a liar...how did he make you Alive?

If you were dead in sin, how did he bring you out of that sin....and no, he does not bring you out of your sin by looking to the cross, it’s because of the cross that you can be set free from sin.

So who sets you free from sin?
See above.



I never said otherwise. there you go bearing false witness again.

Do you ever tire of lieing about other people?

Yep.

And I was saved by grace through faith..

No faith no salvation..

Read my posts to you.. I am sick of showing you things over and over and you denying I have shown you
No being drawn to Jesus by God, no bringing us to repentance/ Godly sorrow by God, no bringing us to believe in the Name Of Jesus by God, no forgiveness of sins by God, no death and resurrection of Jesus...there would be no Born Of The Spirit?

Faith is a gift from God a manifestation of the Spirit.

I ask you again how do you know that Jesus died and was resurrected?

How do you know that God made Adam from the dust of the ground.

Remember that vital ingredient my friend....and I am still waiting for many of my questions to be answered by you...

I don't think that was me, I think you've confused me with someone else. Meanwhile, how do you answer those questions?

Much love!
It was definitely you my lovely. I remember it well.
I’ve answered all of your questions.

I’m still waiting for you to answer mine?

Yes it is is found in scripture..you bear false witness.
No it does not

It says that which (whoever) is born of spirit is spirit.


Not biblical.
whatever
We are justified when we are+Born Again by Gods Witness His Living Holy Spirit .
We are justified when the bible says we are. when we trust God

Rom 3: 21 But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, 22 even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all [f]and on all who believe. For there is no difference; 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being justified ]freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God set forth as a [h]propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, 26 to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.


Romans 5: 1 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,


Galatians 2:16
knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.

Galatians 3:24
Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.



Faith is a gift from God a manifestation of the Spirit?

What, I asked you ,did you have a conversation with God, as you said he would not force his will onto you?
He won't, it does not matter if he had a conversation with me or not. If I do nto want to believe. he will not force me.

Those who remain in unbelief chose to. because they did not want God.
Where is that biblical?

You were the one who said he would not force you to believe?
You the one who says he will force you to believe, by what you preach
So, how did the conversation go that you had with God?

I’m also rejecting yours 100% as imo it’s manmade indoctrinated religion.
Then you reject the words of God

again, they are not my words. they are Gods words
That is not how God says we are Born Of The Spirit..that is your own understanding of what you think it means to be Born Of The Spirit

What Spirit nonsense....we are Born Of The Spirit......

How did you come Alive in the righteousness of Christ?

My spirit is me, isn’t biblical..scripture please?
round and round we go..

No it does not

It says that which (whoever) is born of spirit is spirit.

We are Born Of The Spirit just as Jesus explains it very well to Nicodemus..that is how we are Born Of The Spirit.....no bible reading or instructions needed.
whatever

We are justified when the bible says we are. when we trust God
How can you know or trust God..I ask again how do you know God made Adam from the dust of the ground?

How do you know that Jesus hung on a cross?

How do you know that Gods Living Witness His Living Holy Spirit is Alive in Spirit.?

Where does the Spirit testify Gods truth to us?
Rom 3: 21 But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, 22 even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all [f]and on all who believe.

Righteousness is given by the grace of God, and we are declared to be justified in his sight. Righteousness is something we get.Justified is something we are. To be justified, we need righteousness, and we cannot get that from ourselves or anything else in the world.


That is your own understanding of what it means to be Born Again....
There is nothing whatsoever in that scripture that relates to being Born Of The Spirit.

Romans 5: 1 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,


You cannot have peace with God not until you are Born Of The Spirit....

We are not justified or right before God, not until our sins have been forgiven and we have been Born Of the Spirit
Galatians 2:16
knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.

I ask the same questions again....where do you believe in Jesus?

Where do you believe that God is who he says he is?

Who brings you to belief in your spirit?
Galatians 3:24
Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.




He won't, it does not matter if he had a conversation with me or not. If I do nto want to believe. he will not force me.
Not biblical whatsoever....we are Born Of The Spirit...by Gods Living Witness His Living Holy Spirit.

You have yet again posted your opinion which makes no sense..saying he will not force you to believe...how can you believe in God without God’s witness His Living Holy Spirit, witnessing Gods truth to your spirit..impossible.
Those who remain in unbelief chose to. because they did not want God.
Not biblical ..man made.
You the one who says he will force you to believe, by what you preach
Not biblical..force me to believe what?
Then you reject the words of God

again, they are not my words. they are Gods words

round and round we go..
They are not Gods words they are your words..my opinion .

No, that is what you believe if you hold that if a child dies they go to heaven.
Where do you believe they go?
Don't know.

I can only tell you what Scripture says:

John 3:3​

King James Version​

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Man there is anthropos which means a person. Babies are people.

If god chooses to save children apart from being born again, He did not reveal it to us.
You've no idea where babies or children go when they die?
You don't believe they go to Heaven?

How do they become his children? When the natural mind cannot understand the things of God?

John 1:9 KJV
That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

Titus 2:11 KJV
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,

God enlightens us to His grace. We either receive and believe, or reject. If we receive, and believe, God gives us rebirth.

Much love!
