Anyone who seeks to become like me wouldn't be a Christian. Rather, they should seek to become like Christ. I am not righteous, and am not deserving of the position, nor anything else God has given me.
Jaej, your last post is true, not believing in the Bible isn't Christian. Basicly you say that Christ' word is a lie. You aren't a Christian because you say you are, it isn't a word, which it is much mistaken as. You said, "I dont base my life on a book that was not even written by God himself or jesus" So when Jesus said to read and obey the gospel, and that it's words are true and trustworthy, you are saying they aren't. "i dont live my life by a belief i live the way i want to" That usn't exactly Christian either.
To be born again takes more than saying you are Christian. Being born again, is dying to the world spiritualy. You die to the world, and are born again in Christ. You are bapised with the holy spirit and nothing can take you away from your faith in Christ. I am not judgeing you, just trying to explain to you what Jesus had told us what it is to be born again, and what it means to be a true Christian.
I try to be like Christ as I have been commanded to do, but no one should wish to be like me. They too should try to be like Christ, because He is perfect and without sin, and He is the Son of God. I am only human, and I am not perfect, and do sin. So try to be like Christ in every way, and have faith in Him and God's word, and you are born again. When you are baptised by the Holy Spirit, you will know it. You will feel much much different, I assure you. |
