Myer: You guys just love deceiving yourselves! So someone who can't stand up to defend you when accused wrongly knows you shey? Well Jesus knows God that's why he couldn't rest anytime he see people say something wrong about his father therefore if you can't answer sensitive questions about God it simply means you don't know God. 1 Like |

cornelboy: He won't say so but hide under (maybe) then he will continue arguing even though he can't say it anywhere that BORN AGAIN Christians could be armed robbers. Sometimes i wonder the arrogance in them as if they just have to be proud of ignorance. 1 Like 1 Share |

MaxInDHouse: I totally agree with you on this. Only that knowing God is a personal thing not a group thing. When a group is confused about what they know about God and trying to make others buy into the confusion that is a grave mistake. 1 Like |

MaxInDHouse:Let me ask you again sir, do born again Christians not commit sin? Are born again Christians perfect? You seem to be confusing the term born again with perfection. Being born again does not make you perfect yet. I hope you understand it now. It's a personal experience, you and I do not go about deciding who is born again and who is not We do not go about deciding which sins a born again can commit and which sins he cannot. 1 Like |

MaxInDHouse:You can either choose to disagree or believe. The Lord does not see all men the same hence his standards to judge every man is not the same. Thus, the The Lord will have mercy on whom he'll have mercy. The thief had faith in the Lord and he stood up to defend him silencing the other criminal making mockery of Him. I believe it was on account of this defence(works of faith) that the Lord justified him. Thus, Abraham believed God and it was counted for him as righteousness. 1 Like |

tctrills: You're not ready to learn but i will respond for the benefit of sincere observers! BORN AGAIN has a total different meaning from what you people think but let's go by you people's definition of BORN AGAIN first. According to you what is the meaning of BORN AGAIN and don't forget to connect your words to John 3:3-5 where Jesus first talked about BORN AGAIN. This is OUR definition of BORN AGAIN: A person who has been taught all the things commanded by Christ Jesus after which he felt sorry for his past life and decided to dedicate his life to doing God's will, then he symbolises his dedication by water immersion (baptism in water) after which God sees him fit to become part of Christ's corulers and anointed him with Holy Spirit. Henceforth he must continue in his race otherwise he will loose his right to rule with Christ though he is always welcome to continue living as a Christian but no Ionger qualified to rule with Christ in his Kingdom. Please let me hear what BORN AGAIN means to you and how a condemned criminal could fit in to the description. 1 Like 1 Share |

ayokashry1: So your God has no standard since it could have mercy on anyone even though they're not ready to do it's will. Are you sure that type of God worths being worshiped? Because if we're to go by what you're saying it simply means you may not see it's mercy despite all that you did while living according to it's rules! 1 Like 1 Share |

Please will you be happy if an armed robber robbed you and tells you he's going to pay his tithes out of what he stole from you? You people have messed up everything just because you are workers of lawlessness!

MaxInDHouse: Sir, Kindly note that this discussion is not a debate but a quest on discovery of the truth in order help ourselves as it is the knowledge of the truth that sets man free. Hence questions should be answered in a polite manner and with love. I was told at one time that the number of elect Bornagain to be taken cannot exceed 144,000? Is this true. Also, going by Christ's response to Zacheaus can it be said that he was Bornagain? Is there difference between salvation and born again? I would like to know your view on all this sir. 1 Like |

MaxInDHouse:Oga unlike you, I don't do guesswork. Again you seem confused. Just because you are born again does not mean people should not speak when you do what's wrong. And yes I insist, being born again does not mean you are perfect. I understand you guys think being born again means you are perfect but then again it's your guesswork. The bible never taught that you stop commiting sins the moment you are born again. Now listen to the words of Apostle John If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 1 Like |

ayokashry1: You keep responding to posts not addressed to you but i will take it that you are sincere. BORN AGAIN This topic was raised after the Jews have polluted Jerusalem by spilling the blood of God's servants {Matthew 23:37-38} that city supposed to be the center of God's kingdom on planet earth where the Christ and his corulers will establish their government {Isaiah 4:3} but by the time Jesus walked the earth the Jews have turned their backs on God's promise as they were so politically minded to the point of rejecting the main reason why God established Jerusalem in the first place hence the Christ who supposed to be the King of the Jews was accused, arrested, charged, arraigned, tried, convicted, judged, sentenced and executed in that same city all these was planned by the Jews and they even told the pagan ruler who felt Jesus doesn't deserve to be executed: "Let his blood come upon us and our children" Matthew 27:25 So the arrangement to pick corulers with Christ only in Israel was given to people from other nations {Matthew 22:1-14 compare to Matthew 21:43} and Jerusalem must be destroyed along with it's temple {Luke 21:20} and the inhabitants must be wiped out {Luke 23:28} this is what made Jesus' disciples devastated so they wonder where are we going to stay and rule with the Christ? That's what they were thinking before Jesus told them: “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Exercise faith in God; exercise faith also in me. In the house of my Father are many dwelling places. Otherwise, I would have told you, for I am going my way to prepare a place for you. Also, if I go my way and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will receive you home to myself, so that where I am you also may be" John 14:1-3 So rulers with Christ will be taken to heaven a place not designed for humans to live {Psalms 115:16} that is why those chosen to go there must be BORN of spirit even after they've been born of water just like all other disciples of Christ. John 3:3-5 Now according to the illustration at Matthew 22:1-4 only invitees will be given the anointing to join Christ's corulers who will be taken to heaven and the Bible book of Revelations made us understand that the limited number is 144,000 to be chosen from all the nations where people accepted Christ and preached zealously and industriously teaching about his kingdom rule. That's what BORN AGAIN entails. Note that no servant of God who has not been taught by Christ Jesus can qualify for this set because they must be baptized in Jesus name and anointed with God's Holy Spirit that's why Jesus said all those who lived before John the baptist including John aren't qualified!

Zacheaus was blessed because Jesus entered his house to TEACH this tax collector what he needs to know about God's kingdom but that doesn't qualify him to be part of Christs corulers he must be baptized in water and anointed with God's Holy Spirit before he can be BORN AGAIN!

Salvation is about accepting Christ's teachings whoever has accepted Christ's teachings and ready to live accordingly will surely be saved {John 3:16} but that totally differs from being a member of the ruling team because only God can choose those that will rule with Christ even Jesus himself has no authority over that! Matthew 20:20-23 So from Abel down to John the baptist their names has been written in God's memory book for resurrection though they can't be part of Christ's corulers but their resurrection into God's Kingdom on planet earth is certain! 1 Like 1 Share |

tctrills: His born again is not to tell you that those born again are perfect based on their doctrines. He is looking for every means to tell you born again is restricted to the 144,000 going to heaven as packed into his brains by his religious leaders. In this current era we live he wants you to later accept that anyone called BORN AGAIN can only be found among the midst of Jehovah's Witnesses who eats what they called emblems during their rememberance of Christ event held in their kingdom halls. |

MaxInDHouse: What do I see here.... You guys just love deceiving yourselves! Coming from an individual whose brains have been badly manipulated with lies and deception called truth So someone who can't stand up to defend you when accused wrongly knows you shey? Your desperation with question regarding knowing God just dey start. That I know you is not automatic criteria to defend you when accused wrongly. We don't know people based on the need for us to defend them when accused. Get that into your madness and insanities peddling brains. We know people far beyond the need to defend them when accused. Your madness and insanities peddling brains that turn the topic to criminal investigation will expose the insanities and madness peddling of your. You were warned earlier Well Jesus knows God that's why he couldn't rest anytime he see people say something wrong about his father therefore if you can't answer sensitive questions about God it simply means you don't know God. Lies and manipulations from insanities and madness peddling brains. See your NWT put your madness and insanities peddling brains in check regarding sensitive questions.... All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one fully knows the Son except the Father; neither does anyone fully know the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son is willing to reveal him. Even in some cases Jesus will reveal details when he is willing to do so. Apply your brains here. |
