Faith is the assured expectation of what is hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities that are not seen. Hebrews 11:1

So Jesus was not seen in 1914 but the evident demonstration of what he foretold can't be denied.



Thanks!

All those persecuted and killed during the dark ages due to their love for what the Bible really teach died for the truth and Jesus is the truth so even though they're trinitarians and believe in HellFire Jesus will take them as true disciples because they're willing to know more!

Well Jesus Christ returned in the year 1914 to take away the BORN AGAIN Christians who are sleeping in death {1Thessalonians 4:16} then the rest of them will be transformed immediately they died to go and join their brothers in heaven {1Thessalonians 4:17} then Jesus began visiting all the religious groups claiming Christians that year but none was teaching what Jesus laid down. After his thorough search he found a group known as the International Bible Students Association (IBSA) this group has been making research to know where the churches of Christendom went wrong, Jesus began using God's Holy Spirit to direct this group and from that year this group kept making amendments in their beliefs.

Jesus knew that we are imperfect humans so himself and his father aren't looking for perfection but willingness to admit mistakes and that's what the JWs are doing till today!

IrepChrist:
It was in Antioch that the disciples were first called Christians,” Acts 11: 26.
This verse narrated the event that led to disciples being called after the likeness of Christ. Acts 11: 19-26 — It's a privilege that we believers today are called Christians because it emphasize our Christlike nature. Why are the disciples not referred to had born Christians?

Recently a prominent politician said I am a Christian but not born again. It sounds sarcastic. We should stop drawing lines between these nomenclature.

But Jesus wasn't mentioned in that verse that he would come in 1914
Show me a biblical text suggesting He would come in 1914

NNTR:
John 3:3-7
3Jesus answered him,
“I assure you and most solemnly say to you, unless a person is born again
[reborn from above--spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified],
he cannot [ever] see and experience the kingdom of God.”
4Nicodemus said to Him,
“How can a man be born when he is old?
He cannot enter his mother’s womb a second time and be born, can he?”
5Jesus answered,
“I assure you and most solemnly say to you,
unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot [ever] enter the kingdom of God.
6That which is born of the flesh is flesh [the physical is merely physical],
and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7Do not be surprised that I have told you,
‘You must be born again
[reborn from above--spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified].’

Fellas and ladies, watch and with rapt attention, watch to this. You can see, experience and feel the power of America, but for you to enter into America, you must meet certain criteria, as no one ordinarily enters America anyhow or just like. Thats simply because certain requirements must be met

Kk, lets head back to the Nicodemus' clandestine private meeting, he had with Jesus (i.e. John 3:3-7 above)

At John 3:2, yes, Nicodemus recognised, admitted and confessed that he has observed the demonstrated power and moves done by Jesus, and all these events and occurrences that left him with the impression that they were all of God, so at John 3:3, Jesus informed Nicodemus that, its only a person born from on high or above, which also is known as being 'born again' (i.e. regenerated or renewed essentially) that is capable of seeing, that all those events and occurrences, the demonstrated power and move done by Jesus are all of God.

Then to buttress and reinforce the point, Jesus after seeing that Nicodemus, looked puzzled about being told of 'born again' then at John 3:5, went further, to explain that its combination criteria, that is required for, to enter the kingdom of God even. The decider, qualifier, or the game changer is to be both born of water (i.e. the amniotic fluid) and born of God (i.e. the Spirit)

Yes, we all (e.g. Rahab, Ruth, Simeon, Job et cetera) get born of the Spirit, from the moment will believe. Now as believers, the instalment of the baptism of the Holy Spirit and the manifestation of the Spirit soon after follow in tandem

Now here's an interesting fact, naysayers, scoffers, mockers, cynics, pagans et cetera dont see, never see and never will see anything good about the kingdom, for the simple reason because they are not born again. They are not born from above, and so are not spiritually rebirthed aka not regenerated, or nor renewed.

It's more the reason, we have atheists, it is because regeneration has not taken place in atheists and all and this is why they are quick to rubbish and/or never want to acknowledge any moves, demonstrations and power of the kingdom of God. They dont believe who Jesus is, that He is God and that the miraculous signs are evidence that God is with Jesus, who is the preincarnate and incarnate God

So that's a modest bird-eye view of what it means to be born-again. Born again, is meant to be a given. To acknowledge God, to accept, confess, recognise, appreciate, own up, concede, realise and admit occurrences or events of the demonstration of the power of God is proof that one is born again aka born from above (i.e. anew).

Born Again in regards to believers, being a given, is the reason why Jesus never publicly preached about it. The state of being born again only came up for discussion accidentally, and even Jesus reprimanded Nicodemus for being a teacher of Israel and not knowing biblical basic no-brainer things, such as 'Born Again', 'seeing the kingdom' and 'entering the kingdom'

Abraham, Moses, Nicodemus the disciples the Apostles et cetera were all born again, aka, born from on high, born of the Spirit.

Wike hasn't a Scooby Doo idea. He doesnt know that every believer by default is born again, meaning it is unlikely that a believer is not born again.

_{Personal text: Jesus is not a theologian. He is God who told stories.}

RuddyFusion:
There's a difference
Being born again means you know the Lord and you're carrying your cross daily to follow HIM....

Oluwapresley:
Lmao. There shouldn't be. But in the confusion of modern times Christianity, they have made a distinction.

OgunkeelAllMod:
Not much... Most so called Christians and Muslims are hypocrite and charlatans, double
standards, unprincipled lots. this, I know for certain. I stopped having anything to do with religion many years ago and never regret doing so.. I'm a free spirit, love and humanity is my religion

oteneaaron:

This still doesn't answer my question.
I wasn't talking about the Dark Ages.
You spoke about anointed JWs who are the true Born Again Christians who in your own words "will be transformed immediately they died to go and join their brothers in Heaven"
Is this not the the same teaching as the RAPTURE?
Lol
Willingness to admit mistakes?
Interesting.
How can you simply call false prophecies "mistakes"?
False prophecy #1 - the world will end on 1914
False prophecy #2 - the world will end in 1925
False prophecy #3 - Abraham, Moses and other patriarchs will resurrect in 1929
False prophecy #4 - the world will end in 1975
I can go on and on.
Are these simply just "MISTAKES"?

Keep waiting for that!
People from all over the earth submissively came under one umbrella, settled all their racial disparities among themselves, diverted their resources into production of food and information materials, erased the making, buying, selling and usage of weapons and vowed never raise weapons against anyone again {Isaiah 2:2-4} while all others are worried over why people from their religion and nonreligious groups keep killing one another! Revelations 6:3-4

So you expect me to ask stupid questions when someone told me it's due to the presence of the Prince of Peace in the midst of the group performing according to what the scriptures say, shey?

Well according to God's word Jesus is the prince of Peace {Isaiah 9:6} and he promised to come towards the end of this system of things and when ask to tell the time he only talked about events that will be happening on planet earth! Matthew 24:1-14

So keep waiting for the Bible verse while faithful people are taking note of the events!

Broveens42:

All this long grammar without showing me where Jesus would come in 1914 ?
You can do better

phemmyfour:
The phrase "Born again Christian" is tautology.

If you are a Christian, you are Born again and vise versa

Keep on asking! Matthew 7:7

There is still a question of ingenuity for those who draws distinction.

They are both followers of Caesar Augustus Rome’s Greatest Emperor who was deified to become Jesus Christ, know this know freedom from bondage and start praying to and worshipping God Almighty of the Old Testamemt directly.
