Without God given Faith no one could ever believe that he exists....no one would know who he is.

I have shown the verse that proves that faith is NOT a gift of God.  Eph 2:8  The gift is salvation.

Without God given faith it’s impossible to please him...

That i a misquote of Scripture.  There is NO verse that says "God given faith".  That is merely an opinion, but NOT found in Scripture.

1 Corinthians 12:7-11

1 Corinthians 12:7-11 KJV

But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; to another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: but all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

No mention of a God given faith.  As to spiritual gifts, which is what this passage is addressing, the "gift of faith" is the ability to be faithful.

A Born Again is Born Again of imperishable seed

A "born again" what?  Can you be specific?  The words are an adjective, not a noun.

, I too am trying to help you understand that the word of God is his Living word is his seed?

If that is a question, no, you are not helping anything.

What does God mean when he says a Born Again is Born Again of imperishable seed?

Where do you see that in Scripture?

What does seed mean...if it’s not the Holy Spirit seed, Gods Living word, his seed, please explain?

I've explained enough.  It is clear to me that you won't change your mind about anything that disagrees with your opinion.

My question was about when sharing a verse that clearly states the opposite of what a poster believes, and they just ignore it and continue to repeat their opinion.

The issue is not just posting a verse which is not enough and sometimes it maybe enough. The context is required. Some words about the context is important and some words of how someone sees the application of the context in that verse that initiate a discussion is very important. We should in most cases comment about the scriptures posted to start a discussion.

These are the words of Paul "Written by him and spoken by us who read his letter to Timothy. As Timothy also read and perhaps made a copy so someone else can read them and speak them to someone who can also speak them by memorizing and without read it them from the original or from a copy of the letter. 

Paul is not God. 

If you are implying that what I quoted is not the Word of God ... then you joined a fellowship's statement of faith you disagree with... may I ask why?

Quote

We believe that the 66 books of the Canon, from Genesis to Revelation are the exhaustive, inerrant and inspired word of God.

Because of your own unfamiliarity with Scripture, even AFTER I shared Acts 10 and 11 which PROVES that one is baptized with the Spirit WHEN they believe.  Why haven't you addressed those passages?

The reason being that is not speaking Born Again  scripture.

So then, you aren't interested in any Scripture that doesn't include your fav words?  Isn't that rather narrow?  

Anyway, the verses in Acts 10 and 11 PROVE that the baptism with the Spirit occurs WHEN a person believes the gospel.

2 hours ago, LisaLola said:

We are Baptised in the Spirit as Jesus explains to Nicodemus..which you have denied I’m afraid.

Sad.  I've shown the exact opposite.  There is no "how to be born again" in John 3.  There IS, however, a "how to enter the kingdom".  Since you keep misreading John 3, I'll just have to let it go and realize that you aren't interested in the facts.

2 hours ago, LisaLola said:

We are baptised in the Spirit when we believe in Jesus, if God decides to baptise us in the Spirit

Where do you get this "if..." business?  What verse gives you that latitude?  We are baptized in the Spirit WHEN we believe and Acts 10 and 11 SAY that in clear and unambiguous words.  I recommend that you at least read them.  I gave the exact verses.

2 hours ago, LisaLola said:

Scripture you post as I’ve said before...we are Born Again and saved from eternal damnation...why do you keep leaving Born Again out of it?

When I speak of someone who has believed in Christ, or is saved, THAT includes being born again.  You're just being repetitious.  It's not necessary.

Why do you think being born again is different than being saved?  Please explain.

2 hours ago, LisaLola said:

..it’s like you aren’t familiar with what Born Again means?

Nonsense and you know better.  It is you who reject that the DEAD human spirit is "made alive" by the Spirit, per Eph 2:5.

And you haven't answered my question about what Paul is referring to in Eph 2:1 by "dead in trespasses".  What, exactly, is DEAD?  Do you know?  If show, please share.

Unfortunately you have done the same...you;say that Jesus isn’t explaining to Nicodemus how we are Born Again?

I have NOT done the same and no one reading this thread would argree with you.

Jesus DID NOT explain HOW to be born again.  Jesus DID explain how to enter the kingdom.  I am sorry that you are not able to see the difference.

And Acts 10 and 11 prove HOW to be baptized in the Spirit which is being born again.

Sorry, Faith is a gift from God, it’s the manifestation of the Spirit, God given Faith manifests itself in the Born Again, as scripture says that I posted, without God given faith there is no faith.

I have posted scripture, Faith is a gift it is a manifestation of the Spirit...the manifestation means, the Holy Spirit manifests faith in the Born Again, Faith that can move mountains...it’s a wonderful gift .sorry you aren’t understanding that.

Just a Born Again...do you see God adding anything more to Born Again?

A Born Again has been Born Again of imperishable seed...the seed is the Living word of God.

my belief is rock solid in the Living seed, word of God..it can never be anything other than the word of God ...His sheep know his voice and will not listen to the voice of a stranger.

My posting style is better is it not @Starise.xoxo.?

Absolutely!  And when a verse does need context for better understanding, the other poster should scan the context to see if there's more than just that 1 verse.

Great point!

The correct useage is Born Again..just as Jesus explains to Nicodemus...we must be Born Again...to see the Kingdom of God.

Born Again of imperishable seed means...Gods word can never die or perish in our heart/ spirit it liveth and abideth there forever..that’s what Born Again of imperishable seed means.

I was Born Again exactly as Jesus explains here to Nicodemus. @Starise I’m looking to you as my mentor...has my posting behaviour improved?

John 3:8 Context

 

5Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 8The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
