Born Again is Not a Denomination, It's an Event.

The Baptists or so-called Born Again Christians believes that they are the only people who can enter the Kingdom of Heaven. According to the Born Again Christians, their group can be founded in this verse of the Bible (using the NIV)...

"In reply Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again." - John 3:3 (New International Version - Protestant Bible)

That is the basis of the Born Again Christian. They use the term "born again" very literal. For them, the term "born again" is a denomination. It is a religion for them. They can't understand the real meaning of the term "born again." In the Roman Catholic Bible, John 3:3 is...

"Jesus answered: 'I tell you most solemnly, unless a man is born from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God.'" - John 3:3 (The Jerusalem Bible)

For the Jerusalem Bible, it's not Born Again but Born from Above. What does born from above means? Let us take a look in the Holy Scriptures again...

"Jesus replied: 'I tell you most solemnly, unless a man is born through water and Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God:" - John 3:5 (The Jerusalem Bible)

Even the NIV Bible deals with that passage from the Roman Catholic Bible...

"Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit" - John 3:5 (New International Version - Protestant Bible)

Now. I have a question for you. What event do you think where you can be born of water and the Spirit (the Holy Spirit)? Of course, in Baptism. That is the only event I know that you can be born of water and Spirit. That's all and God Bless. Shalom.

Jesus Loves You. But, Do You Love Him?

I've got a question for you. Please answer this question with all your heart. God loves you so much, friend...

"Yes, God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not be lost but may have eternal life." - John 3:16 (The Jerusalem Bible)

But, the question is, Do you love Him? The Bible or neither I can't answer that question, it's your own decision. Loving God is not just by praying, praying the Holy Rosary, walk kneeling at Churches from the door to altar, etch. When you are doing all religious things should be with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind. It's not good for a Roman Catholic to do a religious thing not from his/her heart. Example a Catholic attends the Holy Mass and received the Body of Christ. But he said on his/her mind I don't like doing this, I'm just doing this because my friends are also doing this. Or for example a male Roman Catholic attends a Holy Mass and Received the Body of Christ, he also do confession before Holy Mass. But after Mass he is doing lots of sins. It's not a good attitude of a Roman Catholic. If any Roman Catholic is doing this, he/she should learn more about good manners and right conduct.

Okay. I think I need to give you a story just to show what I mean...

One day, in the Our Lady of Fatima Parish, there was a Knight serving the LORD. In his face he was so happy and if you hear his words, you will think he is very religious and God-fearing. But, in reality, behind the face of their leader, he hate being a Knight. One day, while serving at the Holy Mass. The leader of the Knights of the Altar in their parish ask him to be the holder of the censer. While holding it, the Knight forgot to get the incense from the priest first. Then, he tells the people to stand/rise up to be blessed with the incense inside the censer. Then he blessed them with NO incense. All people were shocked that there is no incense. And he even forgot to bless the priest. He didn't even blessed the priest. (Note: This story is not true.)

Now. Why do you think the boy failed? Because he didn't do it will all his heart. From now on, the Knight learned that he should do all his works with all his heart.

Become Like a Children!

Do you know what I mean? Yes, you should become like a children. Wonder why I said this? Because the Bible says it. God wants us to be like a children. The Bible says...

"and said, "Amen, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven." - Matthew 18:3 (New American Bible)

What do you mean to become like a children? Do you want me to become a mongoloid? No. That is not what I mean. Why did the Bible said that we should be like a children? It is not a physical or literal move. If you have wisdom, I think you don't need to read this article anymore.

Like a child, they obey their parents. And that is what you should do to your Heavenly Father. Like a children, obey the Heavenly Father. Make the Heavenly Father like your parent. Obey His' commandments. Obey His Holy Word. Trust Him. Like a child, trust your Heavenly Father. Trust also your Holy Mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary. That what it means.

Did Mary Ever Did a Sin?

Did Mary ever did a sin? That's a question in the mind of the people who have weak faith in the Blessed Mother of God. Now that is a question we are going to answer. Here is a verse the Protestants use to claim that the Blessed Mother did a sin...

"all have sinned and are deprived of the glory of God" - Romans 3:23 (New American Bible)

That verse says that all have sinned and are deprived of the glory of God. That verse, as I said is the verse the Protestants & other religions (such as the Born Again Christians, the Baptists, the Jehovah's Witnesses, etch.) are using to proof that Mary did a sin. But it's not a verse to proof that Mary ever did a sin. The Bible says that Mary is a favored one...

"And coming to her, he said, "Hail, favored one! The LORD is with you" - Luke 1:28 (New American Bible)

Mary is God's favored one for the Lord Jesus Christ. God trusted Mary to become the Mother of the Lord Jesus Christ. But in the Jewish time (before the crucifixion of the Lord Jesus Christ), all are sinners and God would not trust sinners. Then, why God picked Mary to be the Mother of a man/God who doesn't do any sin? Because Mary is perfect. Mary is Conception. Before Jesus was crucified to the cross, God wouldn't trust any sinner to become the Mother of God. But Mary is picked by God to be the Mother of the Son of God. That is my answer to thew question, did Mary ever did a sin. Shalom and God bless us all.
