Hi Barry,Great post!What many Christians don't realise is that we are continuously being born again, as we practise righteousness."If you know that He [that is, the Lord] is righteous, you know that everyone who practice righteousness is BORN OF HIM." [John 2:29It therefore follows that any person who is not practicing righteousness, IS NOT being born again!"Whoever does NOT practise righteousness is NOT OF GOD..."[John 3:10]To illustrate this point a man who went to heaven saw that women who, on earth were very plain in appearance, became exquisitely beautiful, because of the righteousness they had practised on earth.On the other hand women who were very beautiful on earth, but had lived wicked lives, became deformed and ugly before descending into hell.So when Christians twist scripture in favour of NOT practicing righteousness, they are preaching a doctrine that will lead straight to hell!Ola.
