When you are born of God like the bible says in 1st John 3:9 what don't you do?  (not shouldn't)

With God's help , we walk in the spirit and not in the flesh. This way we can avoid the occasion of sin.

Hope you're familiar with the Bible... ;) Please be aware, this is all according to my understanding- not official doctrine from any church.\n\nIn the Gospel of John, chapter 3, a man named Nicodemus comes to Jesus, asks a question- he wanted to know about being born of water and the spirit. Jesus tells him that we all must be "born of water and the spirit" twice- Nicodemus knew and understood the first birth- pregnancy, labor and delivery. He did not understand the second birth- repentance, baptism and receiving the Holy Spirit.\n\nIn Paul's epistle to the Galatians, chapter 5, verses 22, 23, he lists characteristics he calls "the fruits of the Spirit"- Love, joy, peace, longsuffering (patience?), gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance. \n\nThese passages tell me that someone who has a desire to be baptized (or has already been baptized) and exhibits these qualities, has received the Holy Spirit, and has been baptized of the Spirit. I know there are other signs and evidences, but these are probably the most common.

God wouldn't have told you to have sex before you were married. God doesn't want people to have sex before your married. That is committing adultery because your cheating on your future wife because you are having sex with a person other that her. God says not to commit adultery. Abortion shouldn't be an option. That is like murder and god also says not to murder. It is taking the life of someone god created. God creates people to live and to grow up to serve him. He makes people to effect the world. He has a plan for this baby and you wouldn't want to stop gods plan. You could always consider adoption.

Jesus never said that and they verse you are thinking of is \n\nGen 38:9 And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled [it] on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.\n\nread the whole chapter

You would have to do what you think is best.  What do you think God is telling you to do.

It isn't.  People are born that way.  It is not a choice.  God made us the way we are, and God doesn't make mistakes.

I'm a convert - I am born to a buddhist family but I chose Jesus as my personal saviour six years ago. I don't fall into a denomination - so I guess I am non-denominational - but I am Born Again just as it is said in John 3:3. I think it is right because, this is how Jesus says is the way in the Bible and what He says goes.

According to the Bible, a follower of Christ does not sin and cannot sin:\n\n1 John 5:18  We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the one who was born of God keeps him safe, and the evil one cannot harm him.\n\n1 John 3:9 No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God's seed remains in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God.\n\nRomans 8:8 Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God.\n\nSo, if you're sinning, you are not born of God and you cannot please God. A Christian should never, ever sin. I mean, don't they have the Sacred Spook guiding them and telling them what to do? I guess they just don't pay attention, or the Spook is sleeping on the job--or they aren't really born of God.

Dear me.....Jesus who died for you is God in the flesh he has been a part of God forever and he is in total agreement with the father now understand a first born son could be 999 years old also understand that the passover happens today if you do not have the blood of Jesus covering your sins you are a dead man. Seek God and his word for understanding.God's nature is the same today yesterday and tommorow. It is righteous and merciful...God's righteousness demands we be perfect and yet we are not. It is the reason God willingly laid down his flesh to atone for your sin.

Rebirth is a truth...and we reap what we sow.  Karma is main factor in our birth, not God\n\nGod do not interfer in the law of Karma because he himself made it

I am Praying. Christ said in Matthew 9:22: "Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole." 9:20:"He was speaking the woman which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment: 9:21:"For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole." 9:22: "But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy Faith hath made thee whole." And the woman was made whole from that hour."\nPrayer is the way we touch Jesus Christ, therefore Pray. \n\nI would recommend that that you read the King James version of the Bible. It contains the answers to your questions.\nGod the Father knew you before you we born in eternity past and when you were formed in your mother womb. We are born with a Soul that will live for eternity. We must decide as a free will agent to accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior or not.\nOur decision determines whether we spend eternity in Heaven or Hell.\nI Pray that you make the right decision.\nJesus Christ Loves You.\nGod Bless you is my prayer.\nDavid

I think you will find your answer here.\n\n\n\nThe Book of John\n\nChapter 3\n \n1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:\n \n2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.\n \n3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.\n \n4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?\n \n5 Jesus 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.\n \n6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.\n \n7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.\n \n8 The 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.\n \n9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?\n \n10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?\n \n11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.\n \n12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?\n \n13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.\n \n14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:\n \n15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.\n \n16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.\n \n17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.\n \n18\n He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.\n \n19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.\n \n20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.\n \n21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.\n \n22 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.\n \n23 And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.\n \n24 For John was not yet cast into prison.\n \n25 Then there arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews about purifying.\n \n26 And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.\n \n27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.\n \n28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.\n \n29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.\n \n30 He must increase, but I must decrease.\n \n31\n He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all.\n \n32 And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.\n \n33 He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is t

This is an excelent question! \nat Genesis chapter 1 verses 26 and 27 it says\n\n26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.\n  \nto know the answer to this question, it is important to know what it is meant when it says that we were made in God's image and likeness. of course this does not mean that we have the same substance as God or angels but perhaps the same attributes. God is a spirit says the bible at \n\nJohn 4:24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth."\n\nso when we read that we are made in his image, we should not imagine that we have a body like his. instead of thinking this way, we know that God has attributes like \n1.)Power\nJob 37:23 The Almighty is beyond our reach and exalted in power;\n2 corinthians 4:7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.\n2.)Justice\ndeutoronomy 32:4 He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are justice. A faithful God who does no wrong, \nupright and just is he.\nisaiah 61:8 "For I, the LORD, love justice; I hate robbery and iniquity.\n3.)Wisdom\nromans 11:33 Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out!\njob 12:13 "To God belong wisdom and power; counsel and\nunderstanding are his.\n4.)Love\n1john 4:8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.\nexodus 34:6 And he passed in front of Moses,\nproclaiming, "The LORD, the LORD, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, 7 maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin.\n\nwhen we examine this attributes and try to compare them with the rest of creation it is almost impossible to match them all in one of this things. for example if you try to attribute all of this qualities to the stars. certanly you could say that a star has power but what about the other three? or lets take a closer example, like the one of an animal. an animal is powerful and wise in instinct but it lacks in justice and the capacity to love. is this not incredible that only humans like you and me match all of this qualities, one by one. yes both man and women have the capacity to use their physical power to work and do good. also they have the wisdom to use it correctly and to know what is right and wrong and what pleases God and what he dissaproves. then we have a sense of justice that no one else has. I have never seen a dog not eat the food of the other less strong puppy because it would not be just to take what is not his. we have the ability to help each other and to set rules that benefit all in the house hold or community so that it will be fair as far as we can. and last but most important of all we have the ability to Love. God gives us each and every single day the opportunity to show our love toward each other and most importantly towards him. do you remember that Jesus said? to love our neighbor as ourselves and to love God.\nwhen adam and eve were in paradise, they had a perfect start and opportunity to benefit from God directly and cultivate their, wisdom, justice, and love and make this qualities grow. they could have learned directly from God, but after they sinned they lost favor and were thrown out of paradise.\ngenesis 3:22 And Jehovah God said, "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever." 23 So Jehovah God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. 24 After he drove

If you look in Genesis chapter one you will see that it was God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. \n\nGod said, "The earth was empty, a formless mass cloaked in darkness. And the Spirit of God was hovering over its surface."\nand"26 Then God said, "Let US make people F2 in our image, to be like ourselves." \n\nThen look at John 1\n\n1 In the beginning the Word already existed. He was with God, and he was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 He created everything there is. Nothing exists that he didn't make. 4 Life itself was in him, and this life gives light to everyone. \n\nGod is one person with three personalities. So yes the three personalities that you mentioned were there. Hope this helps!
