It has come to my attention that many Born Again groups are actually satanic in nature! Using symbols like upside down crosses for example.
Originally posted by Excitable_BoyBorn Again organizations tend to be "fascist" in nature as it says above. They shun homosexuals and believe they have exclusivity on Heaven. This is not Christian...it is quite the opposite: Anti-Christian. So many Born Again Christians are AntiChrists! Quite bizarre.
[edit on 5-4-2006 by Excitable_Boy]
you have a very twisted perception of what it means to be born again...someone is born again if they have been BAPTIZED IN THE HOLY SPIRIT
there is only one way to heaven..HIS Name is YAHSHUA
btw, its a logical fallacy to say that christians are antichristians

....and some grew up with loving parents (strong paternal role models), siblings, friends; were never ever molested; had normal hormone counts; grew up in completely heterosexual environments; went to church every week; believed in God (prayed to God)....and still could not fathom the reason they were never attracted to the opposite sex at all...and just accepted that this was God's will and the way they were created......much to the opposition of hateful, self-righteous, Born-Again idiots.

...and he supposedly died for our sins which means, as a result of his dying for our sins, he made a place for EVERYONE in heaven (if this is even true). Not just the Born Again, Devil Worshiping, Cult following freaky kind of Christians. EVERYONE!! Everyone goes to the same place....it's not just waiting for the freaky Born Agains!! In the Bible, Jesus states that as a result of dying for our sins, he has made a place for EVERYONE in heaven.

the pentecostal punishing GOD who lived way out in the sky and wore a long white robe and carried a staff that I was taught about as a child in sunday school while attending pentecostal services IS NOT the god that I believe in today..
BUT...I DO believe in ORIGINAL writings in Aramaic or Hebrew...and the Pentateuch.
I want to give one example of the word Elohim...which is a plural word "Let Elohim (us) make man in OUR image"...there is NOT another translation for this word, it is plural, period.

Why be careless enough to introduce say, the Book of Enoch into the bible when it teaches that Enoch became a God (100% heresy) ?

You don't even recognize the Tetragrammaton, the Name of the God of the Bible, and you dare to try to overturn the inspired text of the OT and NT, Orthodox Jewish/Christian tradition, etc!
Of course a sodomite advocate would never accept that Yeshua was YHWH incarnate.
Following, among other things, means not being a practicing sodomite.
Dear Lord... have you EVER read the NT?
He died so that everyone who accepts His sacrifice may have atonement. You don't get to reject, or be lukewarm ("supposedly") to, the Gospel in this life and enjoy eternal life.
Sure, everyone goes to the same place, if you are talking about His throne to face the Last Judgement, where the sheep shall be separated from the goats. Obviously there would be no need of a "Last Judgement" if everyone was going to the same place.

Judge not, for thy will be judged the Bible says! I'm a Born Again Christian, & Only by God's great Mercy & Grace, I'm able to love & not judge.
For those to judge anyone if they be homosexual or whatever nature of weakness, is wrong! See, only God knows their hearts, and why they do what they do. ...

Satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification!

Satan is the best friend the church has ever had, as he has kept it in business all these years!
