A religion question for Robroy,but will he give me a straigh

Someone who follows Jesus Christ instead of following the world.The easiest way to know,ask them when they were born again.A Christian will have a testimony of a changed life.If they dont have this,they probaly arent a Christian.Many people call themselves Christians but are not and many wars have been fought under the banner of Christianity which gives us all a bad name.

And here is the Bible verse associated with it

John 3:1-21
English Standard Version
You Must Be Born Again
3 Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. 2 This man came to Jesus[a] by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him.” 3 Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” 4 Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” 5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter 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 Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You[d] must be born again.’ 8 The wind[e] blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

Nicodemus?.
Was that the guy who sang with Pliers?
Or was that Chaka Khan?
Or was it Ghenghis Khan?
Is my mind playing tricks?
Do you think any of us actually read ALL that crap?
Is there any hope for your state of mind?

So many questions so little time. :neutral_face:

God created ‘the world’ .We have to live out our mortal lives here first for there to be afterlife.So what’s your problem with it.
Someone who believes in God and his creation by definition is a Christian because Jesus and God are one and the same.
Born again bs.

So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.” [/quote] You seem to be going by two opposing Bibles as it suits you. King James version is of course based on the ideas of an adulterer who set himself up as the head honcho of his own church to get around his problem that the Christian church does monogamy.Then murdered anyone who disagreed with him.** **

Robroy.Yes,I remember that song.It had completley gone out of head.

Simply believing Jesus is the son of God doesn’t make you a Christian,I think.
How about what about these people…

Matthew 7:21-23
New American Standard Bible
21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22 Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many [a]miracles?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; leave Me, you who practice lawlessness

They believed Jesus existed but will not be getting to Heaven.
James 2:19
New International Version
19 You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.

“The world” is mentioned in the Bible in the same context that I have used that word.

John 15:18-20
New King James Version
The World’s Hatred
18 “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 20 Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also.

You cant belong to the world AND be a Christian.
I think

ESV or the KFV,the message is the same,is it not…

So Sploom, you don’t even know what a Christian is. A Christian is someone who believes Jesus is the son of God, simple. There are many variations of Christianity.
To be a christian one only has to believe the teachings of the new testament, not necessarily live by them. Just as to be a jew, one has to believe the torah, or to be a muslim, the koran.
You and your little coven have the arrogance to claim that you are the only christians. There are about two and three quarter of a billion, give or take a couple, who will disagree with you.

A bit more common sense, presented with a bit of humour.

Let’s get this right.
The ‘world’ is God’s creation as is the universe.
Procreation and mortal people also being part of that.
Jesus is God in his human form.
The resurrection was God’s return.
Your point being what.

So how come Jesus said of Judas,it would be better if he had never been born?
That’s what Jesus said about Judas when He was talking about the one who would betray Him and the eternal torment that Judas had to face in the afterlife.
Judas witnessed Jesus’s miracles.Did he not believe Jesus was the Son of God?
Judas believed Jesus existed because he saw Jesus with his own eyes.
Are you telling me Judas was a Christian?

I watched the video.Even the humanist seemed to be marvelling at God’s creation.
That equation looked a bit nasty though ,at the end…

Sploom:

Obviously the representatives of the murderous adulterer decided not.

God the Father and the Son are one and the same.

Still no explanation how two people managed to populate he world…

Oh, and what about yellow people, brown people, black people, red people? Where did they come from. There’s never any mention of any other bit of land, or people, other than the middle East.

Come on Sploom, tell us. You may ask your handlers for guidance.

There’s no mystery about procreation or skin pigmentation.It’s all genetics based.
The question is where and how did genetics in the form of DNA originate.
Bearing in mind documented cases of even scientists turning to the explanation of creation and a creator not random chance to solve the mystery of the anything but random code that programmes DNA.
