Do you know what Born Again means?

When we are born again, we are to renounce the old Man. We should not bring over to the new man the old traditions, feasts or anything from the past life of sin. We are to be first babes in Messiah, 1Pet.2[2] As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby.

When you are born again, you have to realize as a gentile, you are graffed into the Israel of God. You are now equal to those who received and keep God's Commandments. We are all one in Messiah.

Ruth.1[4] And they took them wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they dwelled there about ten years. [14] And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her. [16] And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God: [22] So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter in law, with her, which returned out of the country of Moab: and they came to Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest

Many people still cling to some of their OLD MAN traditions and religions of man from the past.

A Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews had to renounce his "old man" and had to learn all over.

John.3:1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews 2 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. 3 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. 4 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? 5 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. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

1Pet.1 [23] Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

NEW MAN and OLD MAN

Eph.4 [22] That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;[23] And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;[24] And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

Col.3 [10] And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

Rom.6:[1] What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?[2] God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?[3] Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?[4] Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.


Rom.6:[6] Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

Col.2 [12] Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.

Be Ye Separate

2 Cor. 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with nrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?[15] And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?[16] And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.[17] Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,[18] And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

 

Heb.7[26] For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

Exod.33 [16] For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth.

Graffed into the Olive Tree / Vine - the Messiah

John 15:5: I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

Rom. 11[14] If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.[15] For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?[16] For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.[17] And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;[18] Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.[19] Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.[20] Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:[21] For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.

Just think, how are you separate unto God?

You keep the pagan feasts days of the world, Christmas, Easter, etc...

You don't keep the Feasts of The Lord. Lev. 23:2: Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.

You say, you can't keep the Commandments of God.

Replaced the 4th Commandment, seventh day Sabbath, Saturday with the Catholic Sunday, first day worship

Think the church replaced Israel

You don't understand how or that the Gentiles were graffed into the olive tree / Vine - the Messiah

Think grace replaced most of the Bible.

There are many other examples, I feel this is enough.

2Cor.13 [5] Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
