King James Bible
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
That has got absolutely nothing to do with being Born Of The Spirit.

I am led through scripture by Gods Living witness His Living Holy Spirit.

I was chosen according to God’s purpose and plan.

The spirit birth is a Living supernatural spirit birth.performed by Gods Living witness His Holy Spirit

I am led through scriptures by my helper and teacher the Holy Spirit he is my guide and brings the written word to my understanding in my spirit..as I am a spirit child of Gods.

correct-she is adding to scriptures, not being familiar with scriptures.




Ephesians 2:1-5 (Textus Receptus)
1 Καὶ ὑμᾶς ὄντας νεκροὺς τοῖς παραπτώμασιν καὶ ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις 2 ἐν αἷς ποτε περιεπατήσατε κατὰ τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ κόσμου τούτου, κατὰ τὸν ἄρχοντα τῆς ἐξουσίας τοῦ ἀέρος, τοῦ νῦν ἐνεργοῦντος ἐν τοῖς υἱοῖς τῆς ἀπειθείας· 3 ἐν οἷς καὶ ἡμεῖς πάντες ἀνεστράφημέν ποτε ἐν ταῖς ἐπιθυμίαις τῆς σαρκὸς ἡμῶν, ποιοῦντες τὰ θελήματα τῆς σαρκὸς καὶ τῶν διανοιῶν, καὶ ἦμεν τέκνα φύσει ὀργῆς ὡς καὶ οἱ λοιποί· 4 ὁ δὲ θεὸς πλούσιος ὢν ἐν ἐλέει, διὰ τὴν πολλὴν ἀγάπην αὐτοῦ ἣν ἠγάπησεν ἡμᾶς, 5 καὶ ὄντας ἡμᾶς νεκροὺς τοῖς παραπτώμασιν συνεζωοποίησεν τῷ Χριστῷ,—χάριτί ἐστε σεσῳσμένοι—

Grammatical Analysis (KJV-Lexamus):
Verbs and Tenses:

"ὄντας" (being): This is a present active participle, indicating the state of being "dead" (νεκροὺς) in trespasses and sins.
"περιεπατήσατε" (ye walked): This is an aorist active indicative verb, describing a past action of walking or living according to worldly standards.
"ἠγάπησεν" (he loved): This is an aorist active indicative verb, indicating a past action of God's love toward us.
Nouns and Adjectives:

"παραπτώματα" (trespasses): This is a plural accusative noun, referring to specific acts of wrongdoing or moral failures.
"ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις" (sins): This is a plural dative noun, referring to the general condition of sinfulness.
Prepositions and Conjunctions:

"ἐν" (in): This preposition denotes the sphere or realm in which believers were dead in trespasses and sins.
"κατὰ" (according to): This preposition is used with the accusative case to indicate the manner or standard according to which people once walked.
Theological Insights:
Spiritual Condition: The grammatical structure of the passage emphasizes humanity's prior state of spiritual death and bondage to sin before God's intervention through Christ.

God's Initiative: The use of aorist tense verbs underscores God's decisive actions in history—His love, grace, and the transformative work of making believers alive in Christ (verse 5).

Salvation by Grace: The passage highlights salvation as entirely God's work, accomplished through His mercy and love, not by human effort or merit (verse 4).

So by examining the specific grammatical elements—verbs, nouns, prepositions—in Ephesians 2:1-5 based on the KJV-Lexamus (Textus Receptus), we gain a deeper understanding of Paul's theological teaching on the human condition, God's grace, and the transformative power of Christ's salvation as understood in this textual tradition. These insights align with biblical teachings and emphasize the centrality of Christ in the believer's new life and identity.

thats because she does not need to know the word. the imaginary spirit in her head tells her what it says

Answered many days ago. Like you told another user. go back and read my answer

You did not answer any of my questions that I asked of you early this morning..scroll back and you will find them.



Go back a few weeks and read my answer..
There you go again being dishonest. You know which passages i spoke of, I quoted them to you. and the word spirit was no where to be found..

I was born again.

You said you were Born Again of me that is what you said...me was Born Again that is not biblical.
Not going here again. Been here done this, you will continue to say I never answered you..

If you aren’t Born Again I cannot assist you,sorry.

Only God can assist you in understanding being Born Again...I’m getting nothing from the Spirit of God.

I am going to pray that God gives you that heart/ spirit revelation...I can’t give it I’m afraid as I’m not God.
Got it!

Show the posts where they say this then. Otherwise it's more deflection.

Much love!

scroll back and look for them yourself, they are there.

It’s more deflection in your own opinion...my opinion differs to yours.

I've not seen them. You are the one making the claim. So far as I can find it's false.

Much love!
You can think what you like....you haven’t seen them....I have...your word / opinion is no more valid than mine....vice versa.

I hang on His every word. Who would ever disparage that?

Much love!
I also hang on God’s Living Witness His Living Holy Spirit to bring the written word to my understanding in my spirit as I am Gods spirit child.

You appear to be talking to legion. One of many at a time. They all sound the same. Have you noticed this?

It is a great lesson in how the a scriptures saw them coming. And forewarned us so to know what they're actually saying.

Nothing is quite so condescending as that which sends love on the heels of contempt.

Stay strong sis

@marks ...yup that’s the way I see it...a little humour hurts no one...for heavens sake lighten up!
@Ritajanice ....

Girlfriend and sister in Christ I have but one question.

938 responses in this thread and has it at all occured to you that There is not one other poster in this discussion that has had the same "BORN AGAIN" experience that you did?

Then why are you insistent that yours is the only way??????????

Its like arguing baptism in the name of Jesus or baptism in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit ... as both are in the bible... that only one would be correct.

You are unique among us.

We all are unique among each other as our experiences have varied.

That does not make anyone of us right or wrong over another.

AND before I forget again... I have been wanting to ask you if you were ever slain in the Spirit?
