How Atheism Destroys Born Again Christians by Jackanda1(m): 12:14pm On Mar 01 |
God gives to a born again person what is called 'Tender conscience' powered by the SPIRIT. To former christians now atheist. Remember when you were in christ and commited sin, you felt so much guilt and dirt, even something seemingly tiny like lusting after the opposite sex or telling white lies gave you so much discomfort that you had to kneel down,confess and repent. Remember when you were able to believe and accept all the messges given by your preacher. You had much confidence when you read the bible or prayed. You had a fear of GOD and a desire to follow Him with so much joy. All of these is as a result of this 'Tender conscience'. When you start paying attention to atheism, you start drifting away from the SPIRIT of GOD, making it hard for Him to speak to you. Most people believe in GOD but, the real children of God are those whom the Holyspirit speak to their conscience. When you see yourself sinning and blaspheming God with no fear and guilt, you have seared your conscience(1timothy4:2-5). 2 Likes |

To sear your conscience is to burn it as with fire, in such a way that it becomes completely unresponsive. When you have a seared conscience, you can no longer differentiate between right and wrong according to God's standards. You conform to the world's standards. In today's world, homosexuality, lying, fornication, cursing pastors and even cheating(or yahoo) etc is acceptable and encouraged. Titus1:15-16, says to the unGodly nothing is pure, both their mind and conscience are defiled. Hardening of the heart through atheism and unrepentance sin is a process the devil uses to attack your tender conscience. When you keep commiting sin long enough without Repentance, there would come a time where you stop feeling guilty over such sin. It would no longer disgust you, thus becoming normal. Indicating you have just seared your conscience. Rejecting or Ignoring the Holyspirit for a long time would make HIM stop speaking to you. He's a gentleman and won't stay where he's not wanted. Repent and seek GOD now. 2 Likes |

Jackanda1: You cant call people who found themselves being Christiany "born again". They were never born again. Born againess is a wilfull deliberate act a person makes after weighing and measuring the options. So, you are mistaking churchgoing and participatilon for born againness whereas, it is not. Told you before but you dont listen. |

Dtruthspeaker:Its possible for someone who was born again to fall away from faith. Its all over the bible. |

ATHEISM and BORN AGAIN! Instead of humbly listening to learn you guys will just go up and down spewing gibberish all over the place. So a Christian who has been baptized with the spirit of God will later turn back and say God doesn't exist? Someone who has experienced the spirit speaking to him or her will just wake up one day and say God doesn't exist! |
Re: How Atheism Destroys Born Again Christians by Dtruthspeaker: 1:41pm On Mar 01 |
Jackanda1: Imagine what it takes for a man to abandon using a car to travel to return to using his feet. That't is how hard it has to be for a born again to fall |
Re: How Atheism Destroys Born Again Christians by Jackanda1(m): 2:39pm On Mar 01 |
Dtruthspeaker:Your analogy is smart, but not scripturally sound. These few scriptures that confirm my position among others: Hebrew6:4-10 and 1Timothy4:1 Many shall fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful doctrines and teachings of demons. Can you explain the above scriptures and relate it to your comment ? |

Jackanda1:This verse is talking about leaving one religion for another not ATHEISM common sense should tell you that atheists don't have anything to do with DOCTRINES rather it's RELIGIONISTS that have such! |

Jackanda1: Yes and additionally nobody's emotions stay the same throughout their life. Your reaction to things changes as time goes on. You cannot compare your excitement at buying a new device when you were younger with how you feel buying a new device now. 2 Likes |

LordReed:You think it about emotions? lols, you don't know what you're talking about. But that's ok, I don't expect much from an atheist. |
Re: How Atheism Destroys Born Again Christians by Jackanda1(m): 2:57am On Mar 02 |
MaxInDHouse:It is rare, but it happens. The person might not neccesarily become an atheist, but could fall away into the things of the world in rebellion or even embrace satan. How about the case of har.dmiror or this guy on reddit who renounced christ. He seems sincere and i believe his story. Here is the link: https://www.reddit.com/r/christianity/comments/18i7qtw/the_reprobates_mind_living_without_the_holy_spirit/ Those are just few cases. God gives us free will. Just because you became born again doesn't mean you loose your free will. If satan and demons could fall away, what makes you think weak and feeble humans can not? |

Unlike europeans that where inspired by religion to take drastic steps, we africans where given religion as an excape from reality drug, instead of taking colective action, christains sat back watched Tulumbu enter office, just yesterday or so a pastor was claiming rising dollar is a spiritual affair and was urging people to pray, and as naive as many are they where praying expect God to change dollar. the muslims sat back because they believed that a moslem moslem presidency was the will of god, now they are complaining the hunger they face aint it also the will of god. THE EARLIER AFRICA THROWS AWAY CHRISTIANITY AND ISLAM THE FASTER WE DEVELOP... |

Jackanda1: Who is most likely to fall and abandon his faith? A person who travels with a plane for the first time in rainy season or GIG driver of 15years who resigned and has now said that traveling with feet is better than using a vehicle? |
Re: How Atheism Destroys Born Again Christians by MaxInDHouse(m): 6:39am On Mar 02 |
Jackanda1: You don't know the meaning of BORN AGAIN! It doesn't mean people who abandon their old lifestyles rather they are Christians who has been chosen from among other faithful ones to join Jesus in heaven as corulers! Satan and demons have not EXPERIENCED the things a Christian went through before God chose him or her to be among the anointed ones so there's no chance of such ones saying God doesn't exist they can only be tricked into false religions where demons will support them to perform miracles that's the only way they can leave the narrow way but saying God doesn't exist, that's impossible! |

Re: How Atheism Destroys Born Again Christians by Dtruthspeaker: 10:17am On Mar 02 |
LordReed: Wrong example. As set by God, parents and children are equal with cbildren been temporarily made less than parents until they fill that place, so the fear/respect is supposed to drop and for parents who done very well the space of unbreakable Respect remains between them and their children. And if their children are usenone, then the childhood gap remains. So this one no work. |

Jackanda1: Just as I can't debate your experiences, you can't debate mine. I was a Christian I experienced all these emotional highs and I know now what they are though at the time I thought they were spiritual experiences. Even now I still get them, they are wonderful but I don't chase them anymore because they are meant to be experienced not chased. 1 Like |

MaxInDHouse: But your organisation holds the belief that A Born Again brother can be replaced and the reason why the ruling class calling of 144,000 hasn't completed since the time of the early church. Someone who has experienced the spirit speaking to him or her will just wake up one day and say God doesn't exist! So an active force can SPEAK to people Is this mistake or what? |
