Some people say they were born again, but if it's really just because everyone else in their church says they were, does it count? Wendy P. It is a condition between the sinner and God. God knows your heart. Being born again might be faked between individuals but not between an individual and God. When a person surrenders at the cross and asks Jesus Christ to come into his heart and life, and is sincere, he will be saved, Romans 10:13. The experience of being born again is so powerfully overwhelming you want to share it with those whom you care about. ETA: The following was in my morning devotion and I thought it pertinent here. Matthew 15: 7 Ye hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying, 8 This people honoreth me with their lips; But their heart is far from me. 9 But in vain do they worship me, Teaching as their doctrines the precepts of men.

So, you are admitting that religion isn't based on reality, it is a system developed to produce peace of mind? No, I am saying that rationalization is of the natural mind. . . . And what is religion but a rationalization, naturally? I am not going to debate that. I have always stated here that I believe that religion is ritualized behavior. I prefer a spiritual life with Christ. I realize that is impossible for you and others to make that distinction. You must be born again. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

please enlighten me on these facts. I am sincerely interested I just returned from a celebration of life for a sister who graduated into eternal life with Christ.

My point was that the idea of "dinosaurs on the arc" was not even an issue on the Texas BOE, but it gets all the attention as if it were...btw, I owe an apology for my foul mouthed comment about Texas conservatives. Personally, I just don't see any spiritual benefit coming from conjecture beyond that which has already been written. The guesswork of mishmashed animals on the arc is as about as spiritually enlightening to me as primordial soup... I would just prefer that people focused more on Christ...that's all. Arguing about dinosaurs isn't gonna save anyone... ...but then again, while I was contemplating my reply to you...I went off on a rabbit trail and found some answers regarding the current issue with my fiancée. I just want to say thanks, again... Thanks for your replies and thanks for your prayers. It works... 1 Corinthians 2: 1-2 And I, when I came to you, brothers, did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God with lofty speech or wisdom. For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. There's certainly a time and a place, but it gets to the point when I really start to wonder if politics, creationism and dinosaurs can become the center of one's faith... Thanks for the kind reply. I agree, dinosaurs on the ark is not very enlightening with respect to salvation. As I stated above, the key words are born again. I have never been interested in the creation studies until about a month ago when one of my SF buddies shared his studies.

Grizzlies & mountain lions? Anacondas & Capybaras & Sloths? Kangaroos & Koalas & Tazmanian Devils? Pandas & Orangutans? Galapagos Tortises?

No but my ancestors were in America and hopefully we have progressed beyond fantasies like T-Rex being on the ARK. They had no clue about T-REX.. Can you point me to the bible passage concerning huge reptiles over 40 ft long eating any of Noah's family, nor did they envision what the world of today would be like since many of them... were illiterate according to the early census records I have found. I know its fashionable in conservative circles to attempt to turn back the clock to simpler times... but that is the ultimate fantasy fallacy.... that can only exist in minds incapable of dealing with the modern world. Noah could have just taken baby vegetarian dinosaurs. That would be consistent with scripture. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.
