    Nicodemus

    Born again isn't a 'slogan', it's a spiritual dynamic testified of in Scripture. Jesus, Peter, John, Paul, and James testified of it. All believers in the Lord Jesus Christ are born again in this lifetime. It's not the resurrection. It's something that has already happened to these...

    Where is John the Apostle now?

    No he didn't. Get a dictionary and look up the word "if".

    Can I call myself a Christian if I'm unsure I'm born again

    Jesus never broke a single one of them. Believe in Him. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. Romans 4:8 (KJV)

    Can I call myself a Christian if I'm unsure I'm born again

    If you believe in Jesus as your personal Savior, then you are saved AND born again. Being saved and being born again always go together. Don't put your trust in your christening, your church, or your title - those won't save you.

    More Than Conquerors

    We didn't conquer. We received a free gift. Conquerors are not secure. They can be stripped of their conquest by death, life, angels, principalities, powers, things present, things to come, height, depth, or any other creature. We can't be stripped of what we have freely obtained; the love of...

    Hell, Sheol, Hades...

    Try 'tears" and "heart-breaking horror". That's been my observation of saints who have lost loved ones, who apparently died in their sins. As a believer in eternal torment, I don't want anyone to go there.

    Good point. The scales of justice remain in balance.

    Hell, Sheol, Hades...

    The devil, the beast, and the false prophet being tormented day and night for ever and ever is "whole, healthy, complete, in unity, missing nothing that is good". They're suffering righteous indignation - it's righteous.

    Hell, Sheol, Hades...

    it sounds like you're describing pantheism. God will never be the saints in heaven either.

    Hell, Sheol, Hades...

    Good point. When Paul wrote "who only hath immortality" to Timothy, both him and Timothy had immortality; as well as every other believer at the time. The previous verse says that God is the only potentate. I can bench press a bed spread every morning when I wake up, so I'm a potentate too...

    Hell, Sheol, Hades...

    It IS literal. We're told that in a context. Your claim is a bunch of out-of-context baloney. Death didn't keep the rich man from living.

    Hell, Sheol, Hades...

    When Adam & Eve sinned, 4 things happened: 1. They died ... in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die 2. Their eyes were opened ... And the eyes of them both were opened 3. They became as God, knowing good and evil ... Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and...

    How can a person be confused if they don't exist?

    Hell, Sheol, Hades...

    No such boy has ever existed. That boy was put there by God so that he would "seek the Lord, if haply [he] might feel after him, and find him" Acts 17:27 (KJV)

    Instead of answering my question, you ask me two of your questions. No sweat.

    Hell, Sheol, Hades...

    I didn't ask about remembering. It's their confusion. How can a person be confused if they don't exist?

    Hell, Sheol, Hades...

    That wasn't the question. There was no mention of 'everlasting' in the question. But the LORD is with me as a mighty terrible one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not prosper: their everlasting confusion shall...

    Hell, Sheol, Hades...

    But the LORD is with me as a mighty terrible one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not prosper: their everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten. Jer 20:11 (KJV) How can a person be confused if they don't exist?

    Who was James written to?

    James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. My brethren ... James 1:1-2 (KJV) Are these the 12 fleshly tribes & fleshly brethren; or born again brothers in Christ among the scattered tribes? Examples: My brethren, count it all...
