If you have not made your surrender, (and you post a lot of whacked-out new age stuff, so I KNOW you haven't), you aren't (plural; all who're reading now) Born-Again.
Acknowledge Christ Jesus,
Admit & repent of your sins,
Claim your share of Father's Infinite Grace & Mercy,
Give HIM your life, all of it; good & bad,
Ask HIM to send HIS Holy Spirit to Guide you.
HE Will, if you are sincere...
Only one way any of us can "follow God" and that is to Abide In-HIM as Jesus Witnesses in John ch 17.
...
maranatha!!!
You poor, judgmental myopic person. You do not know as much as you think you do.
I have been Born Again. Filled with the Spirit. Given the Gift of Tongues in private prayer with the Maker. Been used for many co-incidences that can ONLY be called miracles, as often as I make myself available. Had a nice chat with some disembodied voice on 9/11 that to me could only have been what you call God. I no longer think I know this Being's name, but can say that God is more classification than name.
I pursue every single mystical experience I can, many of which you would deride as 'New Age'. I've studied as much as I can of all the major world religions, and especially that which came from the ground in the last 100 years.
You do not own the solitary rights to an approach to this Godlike Being...and your insistence that everyone take ONLY your chosen route reveals a hubris that can only be described as being influenced by a religious spirit.
That one is NOT a good one, by the way, it deludes those into acting contrary to their goal. It makes well-meaning and good-intended people do the Devil's work, sometimes very directly and forcefully.
I pray you reconsider your early and ignorant judgment of those of us who do NOT suffer the same stunted spiritual growth you seem to possess. Or be possessed by.
Cheers, sincerely,
John
Quoting: GannonSorry John,
You are the one who has been misled else you would understand that all your New Age gibberish is more in-keeping with doctrine of lady ga-ga than God The Father.
The Father never changes.
Your new age bullshit is not Of-HIM.
If you were Ezekiel 36:26-27 Born-Again you would Know HIM and Understand what witness is. What you are offering is some feel-good universality which actually denigrates and denies Christianity which is God's Banner To The World...
Why would Father change HIS Witness at the very last?
He hasn't and wouldn't; yet These Are The Final Moments for them who might surrender their hearts Unto HIM...
What kind of self-willed bullshit have you bought into?
Can you testify and witness that this is what happened to you? From Ezekiel ch 36:
26. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
27. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
Rather impossible to abandon God, IF you ever Knew HIM; yet some Born-Agains do return to their carnality, such is what defines a "prodigal".
God is not seeking our inclusion.
If our hearts are truly manifested For HIM, it is we who seek HIM to be HIS for any purpose he wishes.
You wrote:
"You do not own the solitary rights to an approach to this Godlike Being...and your insistence that everyone take ONLY your chosen route reveals a hubris that can only be described as being influenced by a religious spirit."
You show your confusion.
It was God WHO Sent Christ Jesus.
John ch 14:
4. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
5. Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
6. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
There is no other way or multiple paths Unto The Father.
Like a flea, floating down the river, hollering; "Raise the drawbridge!" you have overestimated your carnal reasoning and placed yourself and your discoveries ahead of serving God, IF you ever were HIS to begin with...
