Born Again - I finally get it

There are so many thoughts about God these days, but really he is our Father, not in the sense that he is man, but on the highest level he is our creator and progenitor. If we believe him to be unmanifest, as many do, then one is saying that God can't really create anyone, that we are all living in his head. Imagination produces nothing without action, and the only action which produces life is monogamous intercourse.

I was once a man with super strong imagination. I thought myself to be special and better then everyone else, and even though I read the Bible when I was young, my pride eventually lead me into all kinds of sins and served to cut me off from everyone. I was also lazy and did everything in a halfhearted manner. Herein lie my folly.

Born Again - here's the deal:

All the sins that have piled up in ones life may be forgiven IF we finally learn from our mistakes and come to Jesus fully and completely. It's not enough to just believe in him and live a good life. His heaven is going to be perfect, therefore he cannot let any enter who have not learned how to behave themselves correctly.

Righteousness is not so hard, but you absolutely must be humble. Once born again you are expected to keep his commandments. In the early days especially there would be no Christianity except that people completely abandoned their old lives to spread the word of God, and even die for him.

These commandments are:

1. The original commandment "Be fruitful and Multiply."
2. The Ten commandments (don't steal, kill, adulterize, lie, envy, etc)
3. Jesus Commandments "Treat your neighbor as you would treat yourself."
4. The commandment upon which rests all the laws and the prophets:

"Love the Lord thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength, and all thy soul."

In my past in particular it was hard to love God, for tragedy stuck my house and all but one member of my family died. Anger and distance grew between God and I, and the pride of my own imagination eventually led me astray.

Consider the Pharisee and the Publican. The Pharisee prayed and said "Thank you Lord for making me wise, for that I am not like the adulterers, the thieves, the killers, or even this ignorant publican." The publican however just said "Lord I have sinned, please have mercy on me."

After understanding this truth and completely denying your life and worldliness, then keep watching and go about your business honorably.

Luke 12:38 "And if he should come in the second or third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants."

This scripture unlocks the Rapture. Christians can't decide whether it comes before, middle, or after Tribulation, but who has considered it could be all three? After all if Jesus is coming from the Sky he has a whole planet to appear onto.

Luke 12:45-46 "But if that servant say in his heart, my lord delayeth his coming, and shall begin to beat the manservants and maidens and be drunken: the lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him and, and an hour when he is unaware, and will cut him asunder and will appoint his position with the unbelievers." 48 "For onto whom much is given, much will be required."

12:2 "For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid that shall not be known." he also says elsewhere what you do in secret will be shouted out on the rooftops. You can't hide from God and putting the candle of your light in the occult darkness will also not do.

14:24 "Strive to enter in at the straight gate: for I say onto you many will seek to enter it and not be able to."

It's hard to take these severe words seriously, for it is things we don't want to face, and in facing it we see the mistakes we have made. We seek Jesus, but who can follow him that doesn't follow him completely? However there is proof that God will forgive us.

In Revelation we often find the language that God causes great calamity upon the Earth and also reveals everything. He often states "and still they refused to repent." So even now, waking up here in the end, we can be forgiven. If we will repent and at least be willing to take instructions from Jesus when he appears.

The book of Habbakuk talks about how the Chaldeans (authors of numerology) will rise up to enslave everyone.

12: We shall not die our lord. Thou has ordained them for judgment: and o mighty God thou hast established them for correction.

Again we see evidence of Gods mercy. Gods reply is simply to write down the vision for 2:3 "For the vision is yet for an appointed time, and in the end it shall speak." In verse 4 his soul is not right but the just will live by his faith. In 5 we find he is drunk, home alone, unsatisfied, and yet gathers up all nations and heapeth onto him all people. 6 and 7 show that people will awaken, rise up against him, with parable and proverb. 8 "because thou hast spoiled many nations, the remnant will spoil thee."

14 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of God

Lastly in Habbukak 3:2 the prophet asks "Oh Lord I have heard thy speech and was afraid. Revive thy work in the midst of years, in the midst of years make known. In wrath remember mercy."

Once a sinful person has fully awakened concerning their sins the devils attempts to make them believe God will not save them. If that were true why would he care if we repented?

Again I will say that if anyone continues to sin after being born again, then he still doesn't get it! But if one cultivates the relationship with Christ they will be lead to good works as well. For those who can't accept Christ completely are judged by their works, and those who have formed a combination of Christ and good and bad works, will probably be judged according to a combination of both. The actual details concern the statue of ones reward in heaven. For he knows and searches the heart.

So despite how many years of sin that is behind us, if we learn to be perfect in Christ then the eternal future ahead of us will be righteous. Now tell me how many terrible sins can stand up to an infinite future of Righteousness? There is no comparison, thus any sin can be forgiven.

Save the Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. Which is described as seeing the miracles of God in your life and believing they are of Satan. Satan is cultivating this mentality even now, for people are believing God and Satan are one, Christ and Lucifer are one. Jesus makes it so plain how all this is wrong in the gospel of Luke. A kingdom divided against itself cannot stand. To say that all righteousness is also all evil is blasphemous and to do it when you see the miracle before you is unforgivable. In a literal sense there is no hope for those who believe that.

However good and evil do come from the same source within man, that is within the human heart and mind, but in reality we started with a Righteous God and then Lucifer rebelled. And if good and evil would be joined together again in man, then he will cancel himself out. Do not do so, but abandon anything and everything that is evil. If you are falling into this trap the you just have to realize that what you seeing is only your imagination. Speaking as one who couldn't see God, whose heart delighted first and foremost in his own imagination, now it's like "oh that's what it meant."

Those who have good intentions at least strive with some idea of a holy spirit, but those who willingly embrace evil do not. God is long suffering however, for he knows it is not easy for "us to finally get it through our thick heads."

Mercy without correction is pointless. Correcting ones sinful ways without mercy is equally pointless. His Mercy is there, but only when we are ready to take it seriously.

If this post has opened your eyes, spread the word.

Watchman I'm sorry I lashed out at you. It is evidence of the unclean spirits I am struggling against. I used to think, well if I do go to hell I'll keep a private heaven within me and if I go to heaven a private hell. For I had become so depressed that I took an oath of sorrow and it seemed like we were on a downward spiral, as the nine inch nails album was out. Yet I couldn't understand what was wrong, because I looked up to my natural father so much, he was my best friend and we related to each other.

I have been worried about the unforgivable sin, but is my conclusion that I never knew Jesus. Not until now am I opening my eyes. I think that more and more good people who see the blasphemous new church of christendom that is forming lead by antichrist will make people study the real one. I think that was God's hope, to seperate everyone evenly in the final days which are approaching.

Have I strayed from God, or never really knew him, or a mixture of both perhaps? Is it too late for me to turn it around? I don't care! I will do anything for Jesus now. I offer him deep unconditional love. A psychic once told me that God was the only thing holding me together.

How patience he has been with me, but I need help overcoming these unclean spirits. What a hypocrit I was, thinking myself to be wise, learned, because I studied so many things. but really I have always been taking the easy way out, and feeling victimized in life. I want to try and help others like me. For one is so lazy, my life has been unbearably hard. I never asked for a satanic father. I pray God will have mercy onto me, so long as I will not let go my holy convictions to help others and bring people to God.

"Very few shall be saved in those days" It seems so horrible. Yet I thought my efforts were somehow better because I didn't just submit myself to a church I was taught differently. Assumptions screw us up, yet even as I knew to worry a lot it did so in the right way. For I instead worried about what I would do, thinking it impossible and hopeless to do anything. I was like the servant who took his investment and hid it under a rock or spent it on foolish things.

I'm a prodigal son alright, but I don't deserve a party. Everything I read just didn't sink in like it should. God chose for foolish things to shame the wise, but I thought he meant my foolish ways and other types of wise people. I feel so horrible inside. I was following the wrong father. I thought he was my friend, he called himself the sheperds watch Dog. I looked up to him so much. I blamed myself for his death because I brought home a great flue. Truly I have been more concerned with myself then others, even though meaning well.

There is a passage where it says God chose the people who were spoiled by the evil ones in the end times to spoil them. So it seems God is cashing in on his claim over me after all. I will probably be left behind to do his work here.

It sounds like you are growing in your faith and love for God Crosssword! Keep looking upward! I know it can seem like an uphill battle. Your eyes have been opened now. Mine have been too. I have always been a Christian due to my belief in God and his son, the Savior. Only in the last couple of years have I felt my faith and understanding grow. I never took the time to try and get to know God and always just assumed that he "knew my heart" but that isn't good enough. I do feel that God has been changing my heart and I am glad He is changing yours as well

Remember what you wrote, and read it every so often. The biggest battle that some of us face, is our own expectation of God wants from us. When we get over-confident we also shift our beliefs to thinking our righteousness is based on what we do. It's hard to remember to humble ourselves and lean on God.

But He is always ready to forgive.

I've seen another truth. The real meaning of the Publican and the Pharisee is veiled in imbalance and hypocrisy. IE Grey Magick, the bastardization of black and white. Jesus strongly came against the hypocrisy of the pharisees, who think they are holy but do evil and are ignorant and confused.

Here is the meaning: No one sin is better or worse then any other. All sin is the same. The degree to which one sins can become intense or weak though, but when you consider everyone has been on their own journey dealing with their own perceptions you realize we are all infinitely unique and yet spiritually the same. Each culture and each person finds their own way to describe the divine, what is important is what is actually produced.

So I was wrong to say that surely a perfect God will save every soul, as well to as wrong to think that everyone who isn't my religion is damned to eternal hellfire. Somehow it is both and it all boils down to our choices and our perceptions. It is important to take no judgement, because we don't have the information to do so. We do not know someone else intimately enough to judge them, the only person each of us should be judging is ourselves. Christ is a role model as well as our great savior, and those who don't follow will be judged according to their works, according to the holy spirit within their lives. Now I realize that I never understood the holy spirit, for I was too caught up in my own delusions and confusions and imagination. I was also cursed with powerful witchcraft and that first house had a lot of unclean spirits.

Having opened my eyes, I used to think I was weird and too unique for anyone to understand. Now I see myself in every person I meet, a divine and holy being struggling against confusion and darkness to embrace the white forces of love and light. Not lucifers light, the light of the most high. The light's rebellion plays out within each of us. It is a rebellion against Love. The light from without and the concerns of this world think it more important then what is within the soul. Just as a man is born blind to behold the mysteries of God.
