One Of The "Strangest" Things that Happens When You Become A Born Again by OpenYourEyes1: 7:25am On Sep 12, 2020
When you become free from the power of satan, people close to you who are not saved will begin to see you as abnormal person, see you as mad person, the evil one could begin to use them against you, they could even begin to hate you due to difference in opinion, etc. It's important to keep praying for them, continue to love them, show them the truth in gentle way, shine your light always etc.

They missed the "fruit of the spirit" they should be looking out for, which differentiate born-again from truely mad, demon-possessed, "abnormal",sick people.

They have been blinded from knowing the truth because they are too focus on the world. They have been decieved by those they thought are teaching them the truth. They live like the world and thought it's OK to live that way. If there is light in them they will know the truth and listen to you. Keep praying for them.

Once you keep knowing the truth and growing in faith, these things won't surprise or be strange to you, because the Word of GOD says it will happen to us. GOD's Holy Spirit will always comfort and make you and all of us happy. That is the beautiful thing about this journey

Not necessarily all.
"They" could easily be offended if you go against the norms they ignorantly accept as true.... and things could escalate from ok to bad if you are not careful.
I believe my people want GOD In their lives, but the love of things of this world can makes things difficult. I had mine experiences with them... they were not that much though. I try always to get them to repent, GOD has been doing wonders from what I see. I will continue to do my best... The will of GOD is all that matters

I'm not a Christian but I like this message of repentance because I believe if all Christians truly repent, the ripple effect will be positively felt in our society.

Repentance is for everyone. If being a true christain means to believe in JESUS CHRIST and be like HIM, then we all need to be True Christains. That is the only way to be saved.

I still hold the Christian virtues I was taught in church.

I just choose not to identify with Christianity anymore. Maybe it's my own way of revolting against the wrongdoings in the Christians practices in Nigeria.

When I see a positive turn around in the attitudes of socalled Christians, maybe I'll be back.

I was like this(the bolded) until I discovered I was equally bad when GOD delivered me. Our self righteousness won't save us atall. You'll be surprised it's more abominable than those you're revolting against

I'm not boosting of self-righteousness. I just know that most of the Christians I have around me are not practicing what they preach.

If my declaring to them that I'm not a Christian anymore will make them have a rethink, fine.

If they still choose to continue playing church, that's their business.

All I know is that I cannot share the same faith with hypocrites. I rather be a free thinker jare

How are sure they don't think like you? Blaming and hating each other is part of the problem.
I will advice you become a True Christain and lead by example.

OK o

I'll try to be a "True Christian" by living a morally upright life. As for identifying with Christianity as a religion, especially in Nigeria, I'm not interested anymore.

Only JESUS can make us live "morally upright life".
The name doesn't save. What matters is believing in JESUS, who alone will make you live in constant holiness and live forever

I didn't say you called me " hypocrite". I was only asking if you're implying that the people around may also think I'm an hypocrite since I see them that way.

If you say that only Jesus can make me live a morally upright life, then it means I have Jesus in my life.

Abi I must proclaim that I'm a Christian before I can have Jesus in my life?

As long as you don't see true christains whom GOD has accepted their way of worship, as unbelievers. JESUS CHRIST is the only way.

Personally, I don't see the term "unbelievers" as anything special. If you don't believe in Islam, you're an unbeliever. I don't think it's a criminal offence to be an unbeliever.

Believe whatever you want o but let your beliefs bring about positive transformation in the society, that's all I care about o.

I mean "Believe in JESUS CHRIST" alone. There is no other way to be saved from sin and the coming judgement/destruction.

"Believe whatever you want" is doctrine of demons. It's satanic please my dear friend.

I'm sure all you've written is backed up by the Bible.

If Jesus is helping me live a morally upright life, good.

I'm not interested in believing in Him because I can't believe in someone I can't prove if He existed or not.

I mean, why shouldn't I believe in my Dad? At least, I see him always and I know he's a good man and I can emulate his footsteps.

Christians have Jesus as their father, they should also emulate his footsteps, that's where the problem is.

Even if I know I may never be able to prove that Jesus existed and even if He existed, should be worshipped, I can take that risk to follow Jesus blindly but that will only happen when the Christians (who claim to have prove of His existence), follow after His footsteps.

You see, this is what people don't understand about being a true believer/christian. True believers belief is faith based, not based on sight or seeing.
HE exists 100%. I have heard HIM speak to me several times.

JESUS is GOD. HE made you, created this earth... believe it or not

Don't follow blindly... that's not how it's done.
Read GOD's Words and ask HIM to open your eyes, HE will if you believe.

Why do you insist that "Christians" must be good before you do what is right? Do you need your classmates to read their books and work hard before you read yours and pass your exam?

Since I don't have the patience to pray for Jesus to reveal himself to me, you can do that on my behalf.

Immediately I'm convinced, I'll believe in him.
