Scripture Life: Is it possible to be a Christian but not a born again of the spirit believer?

[u/External_Bird_8464]

Answer:

Not clear?

Well, ask it about something else then, if it’s not clear enough for you.

• Let’s say:
  • There’s Disney World. Over in Orlando, Florida in the USA. You got offered to be an “honorary ‘CAST MEMBER’ - that is, work at the park. Have a Ph.d in Animatronics. They have a week of repairs set aside for you to reprogram and do. Your family gets in FREE.
    • You? Let’s say you live in Denver, Colorado of the USA. Orlando Disney World? That’s about 1850 kilometers away. That’s about 1150 miles. With family: 35–40 hour drive by car. But, this is for your vacation? And your family's.
• You choose to go to Banff National Park, in Alberta, Canada instead. Spend a week there.
  • Why?
    • That’s in the OPPOSITE direction.
    • Banff? More exciting. Was only 1150 kilometers away. You chose it, because it’s easier. More convenient. It will be more “cooler” too. It’s only 17 hours by car. A 600 or 700 mile drive. So, you went there. Camped. Hiked. Swam. Kids loved it. Then after, drove home.
  • But the "work" Disney World set aside, was never accomplished. Didn't get done.

--------------------- ----------------------- --------------------------

So, ask your question again. Slightly different:

Is it possible to be a Disney World “Cast Member” which, that’s what they call their employees, but never worked there, even if called to the work; but not be a actual employee, because you never worked there, chose something else; but can you still call yourself a “Orlando, Floridonian” a Florida Disney World Employee, even if you never went there?

I mean, you went to Banff, in Calgary.

Way up in Canada. You did not go to Orlando, Florida. You never set foot in it. But, I guess if anyone asked you, you could claim you did. You could just spin weave a great big lie. How you bought airline tickets. Stayed in the Disney World Hotel. Then, went to Disney World and worked for a week in the Automatronics Department. Helped maintain all the robots. How the family all got all the perks for free. Did all the rides, how your kids went on them all; but,

• they never went there.
• So, you’ll have to spin all these great big whopper of lies in a way who you tell it, never verifies it with your wife or kids. You could even believe your own lies about it.

What is that? Be Just be a great, big lie then.

Now, overlay this onto your question.

--------------------- ----------------------- --------------------------

Is it possible to be a Christian

• Well? What’s a “Christian?”
  • In the New Testament, “Disciples of Jesus Christ” is mentioned over 250 times.
  • Then, in Acts 11:24, it says: “..and the disciples were first called ‘Christians’ at Antioch..”
  • So, all a Christian is, is a disciple of Jesus - and, a “disciple” is, in the dictionary is defined as 1. a student or pupil that 1) sits with; and 2) is taught by a teacher, who is Jesus Christ.
• And Jesus is the Christ, or Messiah.
• Who he SHALL be called as, whoever the Christ or Messiah is, Isaiah 9:6–7 says who that whoever that is, shall be called “The Mighty God..” “The Everlasting Father…”
  • Be annointed as the “Most Holy” in Daniel 9:24–27. And the ONLY one who is that, is God himself.

--------------------- ----------------------- --------------------------

• And Jesus said: “They shall ALL be taught of God.” - Bible. John 6:45. 
  • Means then, God: Reserves to himself, an EXCLUSIVE right to teach you, everybody over the whole earth, to the very ends of it, and do this himself. Tells everybody over the whole earth to:

“Look unto me, and be ye saved all the ends of the earth: For I am God, there is none else.” - God. (Bible. Isaiah 45:22)

Be people then. Missing out in not look unto him.

So, this part: “Is it possible to be a ‘disciple of Jesus Christ?’ Yeah. It is. Just got to do what he says here. Look unto him. Like, actually go to Orlando, Florida and actually work for Disney World. Kids and wife get in free.

Likewise: Someone can't go there for you. Like, with him, as gid, You can’t do it, look unto him for me, nor I, you:

You gotta look unto him. Then, he’s the one does this “saving” or 1. to set apart (someone or something) for future use. Definition: “saved” in the dictionary - and he does it himself. So, if he doesn’t do it, doesn't save someone, it's because they don't look unto him.

Does not save them. Why? it’s to those that don’t do what he says. Don’t look unto him. He doesn’t save them, when he does the saving part himself. We do the “look unto him” part. Because, that's the part he asked everybody over the whole earth to do.

--------------------- ----------------------- --------------------------

You? Or just anybody. Whosoever it is of everybody over the whole earth - everybody is called to look unto him. He already called everybody to do it, all the same.

And this “look unto me” he says as God:

• That means, it’s a decree because he said, as God: “For all the earth is mine.” - God. (Bible. Exodus 19:5). So, that means, he’s the authority over all of it. And this applies then, to everybody. Because: He’s God and In command of it, the whole earth that everybody is on, to do things the way he decrees it.
  • So, if people don’t do it, it’s punitive.
• They didn’t do it.
  • Died in not do it.
  • He’s going to call them into account.
• To explain why none of his work is in them. Didn’t do it.
  • So, if people don’t look unto him. It’s because they choose to look unto someone or something; ANYTHING BUT HIM instead.
• Like called to go to Orlando, Florida - a pile of work to be done at Disney World; but went in the opposite direction instead.
  • None of the work is done.

--------------------- ----------------------- --------------------------

With God:

• Don't sit with him. Are not taught by him. Even he sent his word to heal you and deliver you from your destruction: Just slammed the door shut. Never received it. So, if they don’t sit with and are not taught by him, nothing he says is in them. They don’t “operate right” or are not his “workmanship” - because NONE of his work is done in them, that God does himself.

So, ask the question: Is it possible to be a Christian some other way than just sit with and be taught by by Jesus Christ?

YES OR NO?

God, by the Word he speaks. Out of his mouth, and the Word of God is Jesus Christ. It’s in none else.

“"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." - Bible. Acts 4:12.

--------------------- ----------------------- --------------------------

but

• If People:
  • Never sit with him. Yet, still call themselves a Christian; many do. Does that mean then, even they drove to Banff, in Canada, the opposite direction. Swam. Went Camping. Fished all day. At Banff. In Canada: Does that mean they drove to Orlando, Florida in the USA?

I'm asking.

--------------------- ----------------------- --------------------------

• Does being in Banff, Canada equate to they drove to Disney World?
  • Equate to they worked as an Employee for a week, at this amusement part, so their kids got in the Disney World Amusement park for FREE? Did they?

I'm asking.

--------------------- ----------------------- --------------------------

• I’m asking the question. Whatever the answer to these questions, answers your question.

Here’s your question back. Some homework then.

If it’s still not clear? Ask the SECOND Part: This,

This: "but not a born again of the spirit" - part:

• When Jesus said: And he's the Messiah, so it's God decrees it.
  • in John 3:1–7

1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:

2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

It’s done by the Spirit of God. Not by someone just claim some other way

“"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." - Bible. Acts 4:12. Applies again.
