1 | a physical or spiritual body? | Acts 8:22 | nasowas | 118114 | ||
Excuse me for asking more questions to clarify your answer. How is the new birth done correctly and for the right reasons or wrongly for the wrong reasons. If we are dead we cannot be alive without a rebirth? So why has dying to be a daily event? Perhaps this word (dying) is use with the meaning (put aside)as in Col 3:8 But now you also put them all aside: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and abusive speech from your mouth. I understand Jesus’ teachings to Nicodemus in John 3:5 as speaking of born without ever returning to the previous life. Nicodemus doesn’t seem to understand His teaching. Jesus’ answer is very revealing. Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. John 3:6 "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. John 3:7 "Do not be amazed that I said to you, 'You must be born again.' John 3:8 "The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit." Does this mean not having a physical body? In that case we will not be able to influence our rebirth. It will be done by the grace of God. I am looking forward to your explanation. Your brother in Christ |

2 | How often must we die and be born again? | Acts 8:22 | nasowas | 117813 | ||
Everybody in the Church a belong to claims to be 'born again'. My understanding of the term "born again' is that Yes, we all have to be born again before entering the presence of God. That will happen at the return of Christ ‘at an instance we will all be changed’. 1 Cor 15 50 I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. 51Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed-- 52in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. 54When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: "Death has been swallowed up in victory." My conversion to faith in Christ was not instantaneous like for example Paul’s. For me and I believe for many others it is a constant process of growing in Christ. At His return we all will have to be changed or reborn – born again. “we will all be changed-- in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet” When Jesus spoke to Nicodemus in John 3, He (I believe) spoke not of a change of attitude or believes but a rebirth, something that cannot be overturned. This cannot be said about my fellow Christians. Sadly some will not always walk in the way of the Lord but will on occasions reverse to sin. How many times do we have to die and been born again ? |
