What does it mean to be born again?

[marks]

Believing what GOD says is not judging...that is another false accusation or assumption. The bible says the unbelieving will be cast into the lake of fire. Does that sound like they will be saved? Being accepted into heaven without first being reconciled to God through Christ....is an oxymoron.

John 3:3 KJV
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.

John 3:5 KJV
Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

John 10:1-2 KJV
1) Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
2) But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

John 10:9 KJV
I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

John 11:25-26 KJV
25) Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
26) And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

John 14:6 KJV
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Just a few of the places this is taught.

Much love!

A hypocrite room for sure

Hypocrites visit my threads all the time...and turn them into a freak show. But my ministry is to try helping deceived brethren and correct them from their error...thus saving their souls from death and covering a multitude of sins.

What religion does to people ain't pretty. But if you want to do the Lord's work, you need to get your hands dirty sometimes. :)

So then let the hypocrites expose themselves..but let them also be freed from the religious bondage of the outer man.

Your ministry, according to what you've to me is to teach that Christ is a "whipping boy", , and God's Grace is "free stuff".

So, if you feel that this isn't "Heresy", then you need to rethink your faith and theology.

 

[Behold]

Do you realize that the unbelieving mentioned in the Bible are never those who are not in the loop...like people of other religions, ...but always God's people?

You just lied again, Episkopos.

How many is that?

You said that the "unbelieving" are always """""God's People.""""

Yet, John told you, in John 3:36, that God's wrath rests on UNBELIEVERS, not "God's people".

You know, your lack of NT knowledge is so obvious as the lies that you keep teaching.

Will you tell these members next that they are saved to keep the law?
Want to try that one again?
Maybe you want to modify that heresy, next time around, Episkopos?

I love, love, love the TRUTH that  true believers share.

To shine  His  light in this awful darkness that  SOME call spiritual knowledge just blesses my heart!

May all see the TRUTH from the private fabricated interpretations of the phony & the delusional.!

Amen! May all who assume and presume to be holy based on a carnal religious reading of the bible be exposed and repent into the way, the truth and the life. :)

Is this the Christianity Board or the Jerry Springer show?

Ask him.

Your one of the biggest ones here my friend..

you don;t practice what you preach

So, if you feel that this isn't "Heresy", then you need to rethink your faith and theology.

You're ranting again... Of course that is what you teach...that Jesus is a minister of your sin. You have stated that Jesus is now responsible for your sins (not you having any responsibility) so that you can claim untruthfully to be as righteous as God. Your gospel has no power but to cover up iniquities and twist the truth. The real gospel is salvation from the power of sin.

The Great Delusion is to believe the lie that Jesus covers up sins in exchange for lip service and carnal religious worship.

God looks on the heart.

Consider the coming judgment and repent before its too late!

Those are my responses to his posts, = theology he is teaching.
You left out that part, because you are not an honest person, stunnedbygrace.

Huh uh, you arent going to get away with that unchecked by me, no siree.
your responses to his posts, whether you agree with him or not, should not be attacks like those. They just shouldn’t. Most agree. And if you attack men in that manner, rather than presenting and sharing thoughts and ideas respectfully, you should assume some punches of defense may connect with your own person. After all, the man you’re attacking has freely shared that he is not currently walking in the Spirit and he IS a human man, not a perfect man.
More is expected of Him than of you because he has been given more, thus far, than you, so he is more responsible before God than you are. And his passions have been calmed, so between the two of you, yes, he is held to a higher standard. But…you are not held to no standard at ALL before God either. So…take responsibility for YOURself.

Do you realize that the unbelieving mentioned in the Bible are never those who are not in the loop...like people of other religions, ...but always God's people? You need to read Exodus again...and then Hebrews that talks about the people of Israel not entering into the Land because of unbelief.

Heb. 3:19 “So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.”


We are warned that that very same unbelief stops us from entering into the Promised Land of the kingdom. Is this about people not mentioned about in the bible...or...the people of God? Judgment begins at the house of God.

Heb. 4:1 “Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.”

The bible is not a book that you get to judge others ..or yourself, from. My analysis of your great error is sound. Your inability to see yourself as a Pharisee is quite normal.

Again, you are the one assuming you understand what's at play. God catches the religious presumers in their own schemes.

You mean your over-analysis.

The writer of Hebrews was writing to JEWS....exhorting them to BELIEVE the gospel, just in case some of his predominantly Jewish/Israeli listeners had not yet believed.

He then goes on to say:

Heb 4:3

For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

Your anti-Semitism is equal to your anti-Catholicism. It is on full display here...and is very wrong.

I say the people of God...but to you they are merely Jews and nothing to be compared to you.

A bigot doesn't know they are a bigot. It's no wonder you can so easily ignore the people of God who in their time also ignored the gospel...as you do now.

More of your usual deflection tactics here, which always consist of accusations. You are quite aggressive. It must be because you have no argument for the point that was made.

 

[stunnedbygrace]

Now.... i notice that you didn't post his "personal attacks" on everyone but you....

As I said, if you stalk and harass and repeatedly attack a human man, you should be ready, (at least as a possibility) to take some punches yourself.
I always look at who punches and slurs first as THEY are the one who brings the bad spirit in to begin with. I do not go for the defense of “yeah i did start it but I feel his response was not proportionate to my tiny slap.” Just don’t punch men period and then you might have some sort of defense if you get attacked.
God holds him to a higher standard, yes. If he speaks in resentment or anger or arrogance, it’s worse than if you do since he has been weaned. But once again, the truth looks mean and unfair to sensitive flesh and I think he has controlled his tongue and heart. But only he and God know his inside.

 

[stunnedbygrace]

The truth of what goes on in his threads is that men are furious at the truth being spoken and so they try to start a melee in his threads and try to wear him down to impatience or to having even a tiny slip or flaw or imperfection of tongue to find reason to accuse him before the mods. To get one of his threads closed would be cool. But the blue ribbon would be to get him banned.
Truth!

Epi...a little diversion from the thread main idea....a question, do you know who, when and why the term or expression 'Anti-Semitic,' Anti-Semitism,' or 'Anti-Semite' was created. The reason why I bring it up is because many folks use these expressions as if they were around during the time of Christ or before, and refer to the the Jews of that time and before.

How say ye?

 

[stunnedbygrace]

Hmm… hatred and discrimination against the Jews (anti semitism) did, of course, exist and occur in the OT. Lets kill all their babies under two. Let’s kill their babies right at the point of birth through bribed midwives. Let’s not let them go free and keep them as brickmaking slaves.
Im sure there was also some hatred and discrimination towards groups by the Jews too. AND from a tribe of Jews toward another tribe of Jews. Anti semite, anti Samaritan, anti Roman, etc. it’s nothing new.

And in here we see vitriol and hatred toward various groups too. Anticatholic, antibaptist, antipentocostal, etc.

Backwards. Were the Jews the people of God that were seen by God as unbelieving? Yes or no...You won't be honest to answer this as it destroys your religious pretense. ...and don't deflect with anti-Semitism.
Again...those who accuse me of doing the very thing they are doing...obfuscating the Bible....

We see modern anti-Semitism created by religious clerics from Christendom in the early centuries AD (and yet they copied so many of their religious ways) ...who wanted to diminish the Jews as God's people. You perhaps saw that same bigotry displayed here in an above post to minimize the lesson that the Bible is giving to the people of God at the present time. But bigotry only serves to repeat history...whereby nothing is learned. If the bigot is doomed to failure, perhaps others might fear the Lord and take heed to the warnings of the Bible.

Luther was also extremely anti semitic too. Not at first. But he became downright hateful when he couldn’t sway and convert them. He even advocated burning down their houses.
