BEING BORN AGAIN
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Delivers you to a safer place in the Universe.

|
You are a spirit. You have a soul. And you live in a body.
|
||
|
|
Your body produces feelings of pleasure, hunger, pain, and trembling.
|
||
|
|
Your soul is your mind, intellect and emotions. Your mind produces
|
||
|
|
reason, judgement, logic.
|
||
|
|
Your spirit is the real you. It produces conscience. And that will
|
||
|
|
guide your mind. Your spirit lives forever, someplace,with its chosen god.
|
||
|
|
It very likely may not be with God, the creator of the heavens and the earth.
|
||
|
|
It might be with Satan,unless the right choice has to be made by each
|
||
|
|
individual's mind.
|
||
|
|
Adam's spirit, body, and soul were perfect when first
|
||
|
|
created. Then his mind chose to disobey. His body would have lived forever,
|
||
|
|
because it was a glorified body in the same manner as Jesus' body is
|
||
|
|
glorified.
|
||
|
|
The original version of your spirit is contaminated by Adam's first
|
||
|
|
mistake, because we are his descendants. All
|
||
|
|
messages from it to your mind are Satan's, and thereby selfish.
|
||
|
|
Being born again means each individual has made the choice
|
||
|
|
with the mind to obey God. In that instant the spirit becomes a new thing.
|
||
|
|
Then it has the same qualities as Adam's had at the moment he was created.
|
||
|
|
Here is what is meant by the words "born again". Your spirit was
|
||
|
|
instantaneously recreated. God set up the plan that way. But hold on, right
|
||
|
|
after you are born again, you will notice your body and mind have the same old
|
||
|
|
appetites and
|
||
|
|
thoughts. That's because your body had previously been occupied by a spirit
|
||
|
|
flawed with Adam's original mistake. For that reason your body was well along
|
||
|
|
the way to self-destruction by the time your spirit got recreated, or reborn.
|
||
|
|
After being born again, your mind is still full of habit patterns that it
|
||
|
|
learned while your spirit had Adam's mistake in it. As time passes, after you
|
||
|
|
are born again, your conscience begins to retrain your mind to think God's
|
||
|
|
thoughts.
|
||
|
|
Each living person gets the opportunity to retake the quiz that Adam and
|
||
|
|
Eve both flunked. No one else can do it for the individual. It must be done
|
||
|
|
in the mind of each person.
|
||
|
|
Listening to fine sermons, joining and attending church,
|
||
|
|
participating in all the rituals, those will not recreate your spirit.
|
||
|
|
Having your neighbors, friends and family pray for your soul after your
|
||
|
|
spirit has departed this earth's body, that is similar to reciting poetry over
|
||
|
|
a computer after the switch has been turned off.
|
||
|
|
Gone, it is all gone. The spirit went to be with its chosen
|
||
|
|
leader, where it will stay for all eternity.
|
||
|
|
Singing sweet songs as the body is returned to ashes and dust, that is a
|
||
|
|
grave-side ceremony having no more effect than patting your cold computer atop
|
||
|
|
its screen after you turned the switch off.
