Born again experience ( Archived) (40)

Have you ever experienced spiritual changes in your life after being born again? Shaere with me your story. Or tell me what you think about being born again.

Yes ,the bible says the old man is passed away and behold all things become new.It also say ur a new creature is Christ.

Littlewolf, you must be a born again. Otherwise I almost gave up. Usually I post this type of question to check if I am dealing with a right site. It is unfortunate that people are not interested more with born again issues. God bless you. Lets share more

Sometimes I'll lok at somebody and think to myself in my mind,''This guy wii never get ahead.''

.....And I can just here a voice in my mind saying..''Bite your tongue WALL.''

THERE is nobody beyond the scope of the higher power.....NOBODY.

I've seen dead men get up and walk.

look....

will never get ahead....pardon.

I know I got to a stage where I saw no hope in the present or the future and I saw people with faith and I so wanted to share their apparent 'inner peace'.

I could not forgive myself for what I'd done in the past (a little like my own situation now).

Psychologically it was wonderful to have the terrible burden of guilt 'taken away' from me, but I was then unable to progress in my 'new life' as a Christian.

Everytime I gave myself up into the hands of God I had everything I needed but everytime I then wanted things I didn't really need I was thrown back down into the total pit of despair and financial ruin.

Then my father died and I could see that the 'good' man who had tried for years to convert my dear dad into a Christian was a false religious zealot and I again turned by back on the church.

Since then my life has been pretty wonderful.

I found the most wonderful person to share my life with - a fantastic woman who just happened to be an atheist (which I am not).

I became an agnostic - not being able to take the interpretation that the majority of people of religious texts and the 'finality' of the bible and all the different Christian sects that have evolved (and the same with other 'mainstream' religions).

There are only two things of any importance in the bible:

Jesus said:

1. Love Thy God with all thy heart and soul.

2. Love thy neighbour as thyself.

I do my best with the second - but I cannot bring myself to love what is portrayed as an evil jealous always demanding blood sacrifices for the sins he made us possible of commiting God as portrayed throughout the bible.

According to the bible ALL sin must be paid for by blood sacrifice - and the 'fact' that God sacrificed His own son is totally disgusting and vile and horrible and evil.......... too much blood in this religion of false love for me.

What does born again mean to you? I am interested to hear your description of this process. Not so much the outer process but the inner process?

Thanks


PS: By the way, the 'why' is also not what I wish to know. Thanks again!

Well being born again is renewal of my heart renovating it to being Gods church.
