The Born Again Paradox by Garfield4u(m): 2:01pm On Sep 14, 2007
They say being born again means "to accept Jesus as your Lord and personal Saviour" also "UNLESS a man be born again he CANNOT enter into the Kingdom of God in Heaven". From Abel to Enoch,Noah Abraham,Isaac,Jacob,Moses,job,David,Isaiah,Jeremiah et al were NEVER born again yet were pronounce "Righteous", it may only mean one of two things (1) The born again doctrine as a prerequisite for Heavenly enrty is flawed OR (2) These people never made it to heaven!!! shocked

They were declared righteous because of their faith. The new testaments lets us know we walk by faith and not by sight,how can a man believe he's born again without faith. Being born again is living the life of Christ by the holy spirit,but without faith this cant be sealed.For faith is what makes the spiritual fact physical to the sences.

Remember without faith its impossible to please Him.

But why do people ask silly questions without studing first? undecided

1. You first need to understand that the Kingdom of God was only made available to man through Jesus Christ, not before Jesus Christ, not before. So there was no need for those you mentioned to be born-again since there was no promise of Heaven before Jesus Christ showed up. undecided

2. As I already mentioned, the Kingdom of God was not promised before Jesus Christ, and only Enoch and Elijah would have experienced a kind of translation that could have been compared to the born-again again kind. All the others were said to have died and been buried, probably waiting to be raised at the end with everyone else. undecided
