should "Born Again" people also be called "Born Biased"?

Question

Let's face it, they are very biased about everything! they hate everyone they can't understand, and everyone who are not "Born Again / Born Biased" like them. they hate gays, they hate pagans, yet they will say they love other people because that's what their Bible says. what can you say about that?

why can't they just leave other people alone?

tur b, I know! lol!

NewDude96, that's a good idea!

Answer 1

nope

that would be the UN born again people...like yourself

You just described most people who do not understand Christianity and are afriad to ask because you think people might make fun of you.

You are totally wrong when you say we hate gays, etc. We love the people, we just don't like the sinful lifestyle they are living.
YOU on the other hand ...well.......let's just say I'm not feeling the love toward Christians from you

You have a good evening
Kp

Answer 2

Why? Because "Born again people" are biased! Their bias hinges on they way they individually understand Christ's message, that is, those who have accepted him as their Savior. If they hate others the love of Christ is eluding them. Hate is a strong word. They may hate the sin some people commit but love the sinner. Sound paradoxical? It is a paradox. Be careful on what you assume the Bible says, read it for your self with an open mind and then see where your bias lies. Taking the Bible's worth from a second hand source is unreliable. People grow up in Christ, they growup gradually, not all at once, remember there are a sizable amount of immature Christians struggling to work their way through the truth. I am sure they will mature in time. It might be wise to consult a mature Christian whose deep understanding of the faith might give you a corrected understanding of those folks you call biased and slightly eccentric. The truth is in the book and in Christ, see for yourself. Test what Jesus said for yourself, your questions will be answered if you set your prejudice aside and keep your mind open . The Lord is willing to be tested and proved, are you ready to test Him?

Given the fact that Nicodemus, who was a learned man, had difficulty understanding the concept, I would suspect that the common man had a much greater problem. Keep in mind also that Jesus preached a radical concept. All will agree that the concept is radical now in the twenty-first century, so one can imagine how it was received in the first and second centuries. I would also think that the proper information with regards to this teaching, would be better researched with those like Polycarp, a disciple of John, who learned the spoken tradition, which would be far more accurate as they received it directly from the Apostle. It would be worthy to note that the message, while not fully understood, was still received well as evidenced by the work of John the Baptist. It seems that while the "mechanics" was not well understood, the desire of the promise was, and still is. There are times when "childlike Faith" gets the job done, even now. Peace and be well.

Answer 4

Interesting ... Its like so many of the people responding to this diatribe think religious tolerance does not applies to Christians! It's like you assert that the crimes and failings of some Christians (acting inconsistently with the teachings of Christ at that!) disproves the whole edifice of Christianity but that the crimes and failings of some atheists (acting consistently with the fact that atheism can provide no basis for objective morality!) should on no account be held against the philosophy of atheism. Atheism, the philosophy, basically says that there are no absolute categories of good and evil, that all morals are merely personal, social and evolutionary constructs but then you can still describe Christians and Christianity as absolutely immoral, repugnant and evil and a danger to humanity and not feel even a twinge of hypocrisy at the monumental illogic of your position!

Answer 5

Hi, Schizo. It may help to understand what Jesus meant when he said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God."

Early Christians uniformly identified this verse with baptism. Water baptism is the way, they said, that we are born again and receive new life—a fact that is supported elsewhere in Scripture (Rom. 6:3–4; Col. 2:12–13; Titus 3:5).

No Church Father referred to John 3:5 as anything other than water baptism. For example, Tertullian wrote, "No one can attain salvation without baptism, especially in view of the declaration of the Lord, who says, ‘Unless a man shall be born of water, he shall not have life’" (Baptism 12:1 [A.D. 203]).

By baptism, Christians die to themselves and take up a new life in Christ. In their new identity as Christians, they adopt Christ's perspective on sin as something that alienates a person from God and injures life with God.

In modern terms, sin is an illness that makes us less able to function with the vitality and happiness that God intended. Just as a physician advises against practices like smoking and eating a diet of sugar and French fries, so Christians advise against sex outside of marriage and paganism--they make a person morally ill.

Answer 6

I am born again, not biased. I think in this situation, your the one who's biased.

Christians do not pick on other religions. They get picked on .

I am a Christian, and I hate no one.

I think the real question is why can't you leave Christians alone.

Answer 7

First of all, your question is offensive but what's new on here. Second, you make such a generalization it's ridiculous. I believe homosexuality and paganism is wrong according to the bible. We don't make this stuff up, folks. We love everyone, or we should. I don't hate anyone regardless of religion or sexual orientation. I have friends of many different faiths. Just because I believe what they do is a sin, doesn't mean I don't love them.

Please read the bible so you can have better insight into who we are and what we believe. Maybe then, you guys can leave us alone.

Answer 8

God loves you, and so do we. Don't HATE us! Jesus said "LOVE even enemies"

A Prayer for you & your family...
I pray in the mighty name of Jesus Christ for your wellbeing, your happiness, your health, your finances, for your life in general to be succesful, may you be content & have joy above that which the world produces.
May the presence of the Almighty be real in your heart, your mind, your soul & may it reflect through you to touch others & teach them the love of God & the promise of eternal life in His presence.
Look not at what others have achieved, but look at your own possibilities, never measure yourself by anyone else's standards, except by those which God provides as living standards that are acceptable to Him.
God bless you,
Michael

PS: Don't hate us, We do not hate people ... we only hate sin, and the "evil spirit" (the enemy) that causes it!.

Answer 9

I am born again but I don't hate anyone. I do leave people alone and never try to force my views on them. Can you say the same thing? C. :)!!

Answer 10

Unless you're talking about reincarnation, I think being "born again" is just a way to hide/run from deeper personal issues.
