Searcher, I will ask you to forgive my ignorance before-hand as I don't know the original languages. But please allow me to examine this from a couple of different angles to see if I understand. "to have one's mind changed so that he lives a new life and one conformed to the will of God" As I understand it, repentance also means "to change one's mind." So what is the difference between repentance and being born-again? Also, could you clarify this concept a little concerning who does what? In other words, I could change my mind or God could change my mind. But is it proper to say that I can cause myself to be born-again or is it something that God does for and in me? What is my role in the event? Do you think that being born-again is merely a non-substantive change in the way one thinks or do you think that there is actually a substantive (although not physical) change in the nature or spirit or soul? In other words, is being born-again really being a "new creation" in Christ or is it just a new-improved creation or is it just the same old creation who tries to think and act differently? I know that these are alot of questions. But I do wonder about the meanings behind much of "Christianese" and what we really believe when we say something. (I wish there was a way to "bump" this to a new thread. This could turn into a rather lengthy discussion.) seeking4truth |
