Just what do you mean

BORN AGAIN?

But WE CAN UNDERSTAND! Contd. from Countdown No. 80.

God intends us to understand! YOUR BIBLE makes it PLAIN-yes, the PLAIN TRUTH-if you will only quit "interpreting," reading into it a supposed meaning carelessly assumed because it has been popularly taught-or representing it as a system of double-talk in which words do not mean what they say.

The BIBLE says what it MEANS-and it means precisely what it SAYS. Let's quit interpreting! Let's BELIEVE CHRIST, the Living Word of GOD!

A Contradiction!

There is a particular verse that has puzzled millions, discouraged thousands who didn't understand, and caused some to accuse the Bible of contradicting itself.

Look at this verse! It says-and means, literally: "Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for His seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God" (I John 3:9).

Look at that! It says plainly, that after a man is "born of God" it is impossible to sin again.

Now is that a contradiction of verse 8 of the first chapter of the same Book? Remember that in New Testament language the pronoun "we" or "us" refer to converted Christians. The unconverted are referred to as "they" or "them." An example is I Thes. 5. "For when they shall say, 'Peace and safety'; then sudden destruction cometh upon them ... and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness that that day should overtake you as a thief' (Verses 3 and 4).

Now compare the verse in I John 3:9 with the following, in I John 1:8-9: "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we "-(already Christians who repented of, and had forgiven and wiped out, all previous sins at the time of conversion-so this is here referring to sins committed, though of course not deliberately and wilfully, after being converted)-"confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we"-(we CHRISTIANS)-"say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His Word is not in us" (Verse I 0). Then, the next verse, I John 2: 1: "And if any man sin, we (Christians) have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous."

Of course the Bible teaches that Christians should not sin. The first part of I John 2:1 (not quoted above) teaches that. The emphasis all through the New Testament is on rooting out sin-overcoming sin growing in God's righteousness, always toward perfection.

But these and numerous other verses (especially the Apostle Paul's experience, Romans 7:14-25) says plainly that converted Christians do sin-though not deliberately and wilfully. Certainly it is not impossible!

Look at Jesus Christ Himself! The Scriptures say He did not sin-yet they teach plainly that at all times it was entirely possible for Him to sin. Jesus, in the human flesh, "was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin" (Heb. 4:15). No Scripture says that He could not sin.

So here we have many Scriptures showing that it is NOT IMPOSSIBLE for converted Christians to sin-it was NOT IMPOSSIBLE even for Jesus! Yet, in I John 3:9, we have the flat statement that, if and when we are actually born of GOD, we shall not be able to sin-IT WILL THEN BE IMPOSSIBLE. THERE IS NO CONTRADICTION BETWEEN THESE SCRIPTURES!

The Source of Error.

Nearly every error is based on a false assumption, taken carelessly for granted. The universal error, in this case, is the untrue ASSUMPTION that when one is converted-when one has fully repented, accepted Christ in faith, and received God's Spirit-----or, as some state it, "been baptized by the Holy Spirit"- that he has then been "born again."

The colossal error is merely one of using incorrect terminology-yet the error is far-reaching, and totally hides from the world the overwhelming, ALL IMPORTANT MEANING of being BORN of GOD! By this apparently slight misuse of terminology, a cunning devil has DECEIVED THE WHOLE WORLD as to what salvation is-what is the reward of the "saved"-what is the real PURPOSE of LIFE the MEANING of SALVATION-the goal of God's Plan!

This misapplication of one word of religious terminology has deceived a confused world into viewing the matter of being "born again" as some ethereal, mystic "experience" one is supposed to "feel," or, somehow, though he sensed nothing, to have gone through when he professed Christ!

What most religious people-if they use the term call being "born again" is simply MISNAMED. Actually, the term "born again" does not apply at all, nor refer to, the experience of a true CONVERSION-the receiving of God's Holy Spirit-or, as some phrase it, the "baptism of the Holy Spirit." Most, however, who use this latter term are as deceived as to what it is, as they are about being "born again."

The real SOURCE of this whole stupendous error is this: In the English language, we have two different words to express the two phases that occur in the reproductive process of all mammals.

The one, which is the very start of the new life, we call conception, or a begettal. All human and animal life comes from an egg-cell, which must first be fertilized, impregnated, conceived, or begotten (yes, we have all four of those words for this first initial phase of the reproductive process) by a sperm-cell from the FATHER. But NO ONE EVER calls this beginning of the process a BIRTH!

In the case of all mammals, the begotten egg- cell is called a fetus. In the human family it starts as small as a very tiny pencil dot. It cannot be BORN until, nourished on material food through the mother, in the uterus or womb of the mother, it develops and grows, physically, to a size averaging 6 to 9 pounds in the human family.

The phase of the process which in the English language we call being BORN is that process by which the fetus is delivered from the mother's womb, and out into the world comes a little baby to gasp its own first breath. It has then BEEN BORN!

But if you would try to tell a doctor, or a nurse, that the yet unborn fetus had already been born, as soon as you knew it had been conceived, or begotten, the doctor or nurse would surely think you ignorant, and probably try to explain.

The New Testament of the Holy BIBLE was originally written in the Greek language. And, in this case, the Greeks had only one word for the TWO vitally different phases of the process!

That Greek word is "gennao " (pronounced ghen ah-). The Greek-English dictionary (lexicon) gives this definition of the Greek word: to procreate (properly of the father, but by extension of the mother); beget, be born, bring forth, conceive, be delivered of, gender"

Four of those definitions mean to beget or to conceive-but NOT to be BORN. To procreate means to beget. To conceive has the same meaning. Webster's dictionary defines "gender" as to beget, breed, generate. It does not refer to the birth. But three of the lexicon definitions of "gennao " mean the actual BIRTH: "be born," "bringforth," and "be delivered of."

Misleading Translation

Since the original Greek, in which the New Testament was written, has only the one word for both meanings-and since the "scholars" of our comparatively recent years who translated the Bible into English did not, themselves, understand God's Plan-they often translated the Greek word "gennao " into the English word "BORN" where it actually meant "BEGOTTEN."

Notice a few outstanding examples!

In John 1: 13, the Authorized, or King James version of the Bible renders it: "...which were born, not of blood, not of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." This is an incorrect translation of the Greek word "gennao." In the American Revised version a marginal rendering says: "or, begotten," as it should be.

Other examples appear in John's first Epistle. Notice:

In the American Revised version I John 2:29 is correctly translated: "is begotten of Him"; but in the A.V. it is, incorrectly, "...every one that doeth righteousness is born of Him."

I John 4:7: The A.V. incorrectly has it: "...and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God." But the Revised version corrected this error, rendering it: "...is begotten of God."

I John 5: 1, in the A.V., incorrectly: "Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth Him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of Him." Here, this same Greek word, "gennao," was inspired by the Holy Spirit three times in the same verse. The first time, the King James translates erroneously rendered it into the English word "born." The second time "gennao" is used in the Greek they could not render it "Him that was BORN" or "Him that "borned"-for it refers to the human believer, not God. Here they were forced to choose the correct definition of "gennao," in the past tense, as "begat." Then, since they already had to use the past-tense "begat" in that instance, they also correctly rendered it, in the third place the word occurred, "is begotten."

The Revised version also corrected this error, rightly rendering it: "Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is begotten of God, and whosoever loveth Him that begat, loveth him also that is begotten of Him."

One final example: I John 5:4-the A.V. erroneously renders it: "For whosoever is born of God overcometh the world,..." but the Revised version corrected it to read: "For whatsoever is begotten of God overcometh the world..."

Now quickly notice a few instances where the SAME GREEK WORD was correctly translated "begotten."

I Cor. 4:15 the Apostle Paul is talking to those converted under his ministry. "For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel." There, it is correctly translated, showing that Paul's converts at Corinth, as his "spiritual children," had been begotten of God, but not yet BORN.

The experience of conversion, in this life, is a begettal-a "conception"-an impregnation"-but NOT YET A BIRTH! This we shall make PLAIN!

One more-Heb. 1:5-speaking of CHRIST'S begettal in the Virgin Mary. This verse shows that Christ, later BORN of God by a resurrection from the dead (Rom. 1:4), was an actual BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD, in a manner that no angel is, or can be. Angels are merely created beings. They are not actually begotten of God, so that in this sense they become His born sons, as Christ now is-and as we may also be Notice the verse: "For unto which of the angels said He at any time, "Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee?"

Let CHRIST Explain!

If those who are deceived would listen to JESUS, and be willing to believe He meant what He said, THEY COULD UNDERSTAND!

Let's look at all that Jesus said! Let's understand what it means to be BORN of God-in what respect one shall be different after he is BORN of God-let's see WHEN this spiritual BIRTH takes place!

This man Nicodemus was a Pharisee, in an office of authority over the Jews. The Pharisees considered Jesus as "a religious independent"-they didn't endorse Him, they sought to discredit, persecute, and kill Him. Nicodemus didn't want to be seen talking to Jesus. So he came around under cover of darkness.

But Nicodemus did recognize that Jesus was actually sent by God, with a Message from the Creator to mankind.

Jesus said to him: "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God" (John 3:3).

Immediately carnal-minded Nicodemus was as puzzled and as confused as carnal-minded religionists today. But he knew one clear and specific fact they seem not to grasp-he knew what being BORN means!

"How can a man be born when he is old? asked this Pharisee ruler. "Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?"

Jesus was here talking about the actual spiritual BIRTH-not the begettal. Let us understand that. In this passage, the Greek word "gennao" is correctly translated "born." So, let us now see how Jesus explained this final spiritual BIRTH.

"Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth; so is everyone that is born of the Spirit" (Verses 5-8).

Now LOOK AT THAT! Nicodemus had defined the only kind of BIRTH he knew-physical birth-and he knew it was not the conception, but the actual delivery out of a human mother's womb. Jesus accepted this explanation of the actual BIRTH. He did not say, "Oh, I'm not talking of being actually BORN, but merely of the conception." Jesus was here talking of being actually BORN!

But He was talking of being born of GOD, not of a human father He was talking about a different, and a second BIRTH-A spiritual birth, not a human or physical birth. Yet Jesus used the physical birth as the exact type or illustration!

NOTICE! "That which is BORN of the flesh, IS flesh," He said. When an infant is delivered out of its mother's womb, it is born of a fleshly, human, physical mother whose ovum, or egg-cell, was given physical life by the fleshly FATHER. So, this human infant is born of the FLESH-and it is physical, material FLESH. Yes, Jesus was speaking of literal BIRTH.

NOW notice! Just as the infant born of the flesh actually IS flesh-a physical person-SO, in like manner, the man or woman, when BORN of the SPIRIT, actually will BE SPIRIT.

Is that so hard to understand?

GOD is not composed of matter. GOD is A SPIRIT-He is composed of SPIRIT-as Jesus explained, in John 4:24. But, God says He formed MAN of the "dust of the ground"-of MATTER (Gen. 2:7). So MAN is material FLESH. And those born of material, fleshly parents ARE FLESH-that's what they ARE. But God is A SPIRIT, composed of SPIRIT, and those BORN of GOD, the heavenly Father, become SPIRIT. They are no longer composed of material flesh-no longer human-no longer MORTAL; they then shall be, as Christ now is, composed of SPIRIT-then actually divine-IMMORTAL!

What is matter? It is anything that occupies space, and has weight. You can SEE matter-or feel it or taste it, or smell it, or HEAR the vibrations of matter which we call sound. But you cannot SEE spirit. You cannot hear, feel, taste or smell spirit. But Jesus took the sense of sight as an example.

He compared the SPIRIT, of which those BORN of God shall be composed, to WIND. Nicodemus was a carnal-minded man. He could receive knowledge into his mind only through one of these five senses. So Jesus took a material substance, which this man could UNDERSTAND, which, so far as (human) SIGHT is concerned, resembles spirit.

The WIND, he explained, blows wherever it wills, But it is INVISIBLE-and although you HEAR the sound of it, you cannot SEE where it comes from, or where it goes. "So," he explained, "is everyone that is BORN of the SPIRIT." After people are actually BORN of God, they, too, shall BE SPIRIT, just as GOD is Spirit. They will be INVISIBLE to material human sight, just as angels are.

Now that ought to be plain. A converted person-one who has repented, accepted Christ as Saviour, received God's Holy Spirit, does have a changed attitude and outlook and purpose-his whole character begins to change, and travel in an opposite direction. BUT HE IS NOT INVISIBLE TO THE HUMAN EYES OF OTHER PEOPLE! He is not composed of SPIRIT. He is still composed of material flesh, even though God's Holy Spirit has entered, and now dwells in, and leads and influences, his HUMAN MIND.

He is now BEGOTTEN of God. The very LIFE and NATURE of GOD has entered into him, impregnating him with immortal spirit-life, exactly as the physical sperm-cell from the human father enters into the ovum or physical egg-cell when a new HUMAN LIFE is first CONCEIVED, IMPREGNATED OR BEGOTTEN. But, just as that tiny ovum, as small as a pinpoint, is merely BEGOTTEN of its human father-NOT YET BORN-so the converted human is, at what we properly call conversion, merely BEGOTTEN of GOD the heavenly Father-NOT YET BORN.

He is still material FLESH, even though God's Spirit has now entered into his MIND. He is still VISIBLE.

And now he has about as much of God's Holy Spirit in him, by comparison, as the tiny human sperm-cell compares in SIZE to a baby being born. A human sperm-cell from which human life generates is about one-hundredth part as large as the egg-cell, which is about the size of a pinpoint. The sperm-cell is much too small to be seen by the human eye, without a microscope.

Once entered into the human ovum, it might grow, from material food received through the mother, to a size averaging 6 to 9 pounds before it is ready to be BORN.

A newly converted human is actually BEGOTTEN of GOD. Such a person is, already, an actual begotten SON OF GOD. He can call God "FATHER." But he is not yet BORN of God.

Notice this, in I John 3: 1: "Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called THE SONS OF GOD. ...Beloved, NOW ARE WE THE SONS OF GOD, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He (Christ at His second coming) shall appear, WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM, for we shall SEE HIM as He is " (1 John 3:1-2).

WHAT We Shall Be

Now notice that! Understand WHAT we shall be, when we are BORN of God! Then, next we shall see WHEN we shall be born of God.

This Scripture, in this marvellous 3rd chapter of I John, plainly says that "WE"-meaning begotten, converted CHRISTIANS-are, now, already, the SONS of God. Yes, of course, and the tiny fetus no larger than a pinpoint in its mother's womb is, already, the SON (or daughter) of its human father, even though not yet BORN.

Next, this Scripture reveals that "it doth not yet appear WHAT WE SHALL BE."

Grasp that! Isn't it PLAIN? We are, later, to BE something different. Of course! Although we already are begotten SONS of God, we are still FLESH-still matter-still VISIBLE. But WHAT WE SHALL BE has not, yet, appeared. As Jesus explained to Nicodemus, we SHALL BE immortal SPIRIT. That is what we shall, later, be!

BUT, this Scripture continues-READ IT! UNDERSTAND this wonderful, WONDERFUL TRUTH!-we know that, when He, Christ, shall appear at His second coming to earth, WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM!

Now what shall HE be like? If you can know that, you can know what BORN-AGAIN Christians shall then be like-for they shall be LIKE HIM!

After His resurrection, Jesus was INVISIBLE, except when, by a process that is not explained, He was manifested, or made visible, to human eyes. Angels are normally INVISIBLE to mortal sight. Yet in many instances the Bible describes incidents when angels were made visible, so they could be seen-and they appeared like MEN.

After Christ's resurrection, two disciples were walking that Sunday afternoon, on the road to Emmaus. Suddenly Jesus appeared beside them. But, later, He "vanished out of their sight" (Luke 24:31). The twelve disciples were in a room, with the doors closed, and probably bolted, because they were afraid of the Jews. There was no knock on the door. No door opened. Suddenly, as if from nowhere, Christ APPEARED.

HOW does Jesus Christ appear, NOW? What does He look like? He has now been BORN of God (Rom. 1:4). He was begotten of God, from the instant of conception in the womb of the Virgin Mary. He was HUMAN and MORTAL-although begotten of God (differently than we may be, since His conception was divine, not human)-He was composed of MATERIAL FLESH, subject to human DEATH. He did die!

But, He was then BORN of God! HOW? By a Resurrection from the dead (Rom. 1:4). WHEN? At the time of His resurrection!

He ascended to heaven,[1] to the very THRONE of GOD, that RULES THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE. He was GLORIFIED! He has been ever since. It is the GLORIFIED Christ who shall return to earth.

What does the GLORIFIED Christ look like? His eyes blaze forth like flames of fire! His feet glow like finely burnished brass. His face shines like the SUN, in FULL STRENGTH-so bright, it would blind your eyes if He were visible to you now! (Rev. 1: 14-16; 19:12-13; Mat. 17:2.)

Dear reader

We hope this letter finds you well. I want to tell you what has happened over the last few months. In early November last year I had stomach problems which were"finally" put down to constipation. The solution was to go onto fybogel.

We then had problems getting toner cartridges for the printer.

When I did finally get a batch of cartridges, the printer itself then went on the blink which means it wanted servicing or replacing.

During all this time we had housing repair problems due to the fire in November.

I was then diagnosed after having breathing problems that I was anaemic or low on red blood platelets. So I was put on iron sulphate tablets.

Because I knew that we needed another computer (because the one in use had a C disk bug on it) we bought a new Millennium type of updated computer, this was followed by a new updated printer.

After having got the new computer I found that the WORDPERFECT suite 7 program would not work in it, so I had to get the latest WORDPERFECT program which was WORDPERFECT office 2002.

It was at the time when the fire problems were going to be dealt with that I had vomiting problems and that was when I was rushed to hospital and had an angina attack whilst laying on one of the beds in Frimly park hospital. Frimly park hospital could not deal with the problems so I was then sent to St Thomas's in London.

After many tests in "Tommies" one of which showed that I had a bug called a "helicopter" bug. This is one that one can pick up (it is called helicobacter pylori) I was then given antibiotics for it and had pharos curse for 10 days.

When I anticipated that I was to have a bypass operation next, I was then sent home for my stomach to cool off as it was a little inflamed.

Six weeks later and then on the 21 Aug I had a double bypass operation and six days later was sent home to recover. I am now getting slowly used to the new equipment.

We have two plans. Plan A is to catch up from last January if this fails we then use plan B which is to jump to the present. So if things seem a little out of synch. That is the reason why.
