What is Aramaic meaning of born again?

Quote:Obviously there must be some sort of idiom here, as nobody can be literally born again right?

Wrong.

It was not an idiom or a symbology expressed by our Lord, it was a commandment and the first step towards the path of living in The Spirit, the regeneration, the renewel of the spirit within a person. This path was paid for by the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, His pure blood alone paid for this to all who would simply ask from Him to be in their heart.

Nothing else grants you access to the throne of The Almighty. No belief, no culture, nothing. You could talk about it all you want all your life but if you do not ask for this, you will not have a spiritual walk with The Lord. Your form of Christianity will be carnal and without the true wisdom and spiritual discernment from above.

Rather than try to make up some sort of explanation for you from a language, I'll explain what I did to receive so that you can approach The Lord and ask Him to recieve also.

I looked upward with my eyes open one night. I then spoke openly to Him and asked Him to forgive me and my life the way it was and to come into my heart and stay with me forever. This was my faith in action, I openly confessed from my lips the desire to leave my life I was born with and to have the new life from Him.

It starts within the heart of the person and continues on from there. The rebirth is a tangible, felt, experience. You will feel completely new inside, like a newborn babe. Your old desires will start to be removed from that day onward. At that point, you can legitimately call yourself a Christian because you have received the first step of the Spirit-filled life.

Someone else will notice that you have done this also, the being that you belonged to from your fleshly birth, can you guess who that is? Believe me, he won't be happy and he will make sure he lets you know about it.

Suddenly you are aware of your surroundings more than you were before, and people are aware of you also. The spiritual presence you have will irritate people around you who are not born again. It will fade after a period of time, but the initial rebirth has a dramatic presence from a person, a cleansing ability, and believe me, the unregenerate do not like it.

You now will desire to read the bible. When you read, you will feel the words feed your soul, like a strength.

The hardest part for any new Christian is to refrain from being led into the wrong environments and the churches that do not feed that person, who teach wrong doctrine. You are now different than the people you grew up with and you can never forget that. There is no turning back, but you would not want to.

If you do take the steps to receive the new life from our High Priest, then maybe you will go ahead and follow the next steps of baptism, and then ask for the indwelling of The Spirit with the follow on of the gifts that that come from that experience.

You could just stay in one place with your rebirth and not go any farther than that, but The Almighty did leave a path for anyone to climb, if they was to choose to do so. The biggest thing for any born-again Christian is to reach for the indwelling Spirit. With Him placed in your life you will not feel alone whatsoever. This is the Comforter. You will have this greater strength within your soul that is a loving power beyond anything a person could offer here on earth.

With Him placed within your soul, the written word takes on an understanding beyond the literal writings. To the point of seeing the imprint behind the written letters. Your wisdom and knowledge will expand beyond what you thought possible. You no longer view things just on a worldly level, you now reach outward and upward in your views and desires every day in prayer to say hi to your heavenly father now.

Independance is a great strength in some of the newborn Christians also( is for me, very strong I must say).

Anyways, that is not it in a nutshell. It is just a small bit of the experience. Wait till Jesus introduces you to Father,.......you think you understand love? We know nothing. Brings tears of joy to your eyes. You desire nothing more than to be closer to HIM from that point onward. His fragrance is amazing.

If you really want to experience this but feel you do not have the faith to truly reach up and receive, then send me a PM with you first name and I will pray for you.

Knowledge is nothing unless it is passed on, so I pass on what I know to you. I have no need to argue any single point in this with anyone. My experience is mine and I know what I know what I know what I know. If you have no experience even remotely similar to what I have just explained, then I would have no choice but to completely dought your Christianity and your purpose. To just believe in your mind is not good enough. It is with that much conviction.

The path is there. Very few choose it, and most churches refuse to teach it now. Such is mankind and the world held in it's grip by satan.
