Born Again or Begotten from Above?

Brothers and Sisters,

DO WE NEED TO BE BORN AGAIN TO SEE OUR MESSIAH?

`The whole idea of being 'reborn' stems right back to Ancient Babel, where Semiramis told everyone that Nimrod had died and was reborn as the sun every Dec 25th. As you can see by this picture, a lot of our modern-day worship and beliefs actually came from Babylon > > > > >

The whole idea of being re-incarnated or reborn implies death to the old self and rebirth into a new already perfected being, just like a caterpillar into a beautiful butterfly. Yahusha conquered sin and death legally on the torture stake and upon our immersion we pass from one kingdom (darkness) into another (light) as the ownership of our heart changes hands. Now while Turah does tell us we are to "put on the new man" and to "put to death the old self" we know that even after our immersion, we are far from perfection, so how could we be born again?????

THE WHOLE IDEA OF BEING BORN AGAIN IS PAGAN, MYSTICAL AND IT RELIEVES THE BELIEVER OF ANY RESPONSIBILITY TO CHANGE !!

JOHN 3:3 "Yahusha answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is BEGOTTEN FROM ABOVE, he is unable to see the reign of Yahuah.”

ACTS 12:33 "You are My Son, today I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU."

JOHN 1:14: And the Word became flesh and pitched His tent among us, and we saw His esteem, esteem as of an ONLY BEGOTTEN OF THE FATHER, complete in favor and truth.

1 KEFA 1:3 "Blessed be the Alahim and Father of our Master Yahusha Mashiak, Who according to His great compassion has caused us to be BEGOTTEN FROM ABOVE to a living expectation through the resurrection of Yahusha Mashiak from the dead, 4. to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and unfading, having been kept in the shamayim for you . . . . . . . .22. Now that you have cleansed your lives in obeying the truth through the Ruach to unfeigned brotherly love, love one another fervently with a clean heart, 23. having been BEGOTTEN FROM ABOVE - not of corruptible seed, but incorruptible – through the living Word of Alahim, which remains forever."

WHAT DOES BEGOTTEN MEAN?

1. to procreate or generate (offspring). 2. to cause or produce as an effect.

To be begotten is to be generated (or fathered) by procreation and related by blood.

In the same way that Yahusha has chosen His Bride from the four corner of the earth and is working with her, BUT NOT YET MARRIED HER, Yahuah has given her (us) a down-payment of His essence (His life-giving and transforming power) and has planted the seeds of the Reign in our hearts, which is growing, shaping, and moulding us just like a child in the womb - BUT WE HAVEN'T BEEN BORN YET!

YAHUSHA'S BRIDE WILL BE 'BORN AGAIN' WHEN SHE IS GATHERED TOGETHER AND TRANSFORMED IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE AT HIS RETURN

Our old corruptible fleshly vessels will crumble and vanish away as His Essence transforms us into immortal beings like Him, able to fly and walk through walls as He could. There is no other creature in the universe like Yahusha, who is both eternal spirit and yet flesh as well. He was the first resurrected being to be clothed with immortality - He is the Firstfruit of many to follow (His Bride). HOW EXCITING IS THIS? THE MIND BOGGLES!!

SO KEPHA TELLS US THAT DESPITE THE UGLINESS OF OUR LIVES AND THIS WORLD, WE HAVE A LIVING EXPECTATION TO HOLD ONTO, AN INCORRUPTIBLE INHERITANCE. SO KEEP RUNNING YOUR RACE BROTHERS AND SISTERS AND DON'T DESPISE HIS DISCIPLINING PROCESS BECAUSE YOUR CO-OPERATION TO OVERCOME, BEHAVE AND BE TRAINED WILL ENSURE YOUR PLACEMENT IN THE BRIDAL COMPANY.
