Hello Pocaracas. Born again is what takes place in one's life when they accept Jesus as their Lord and Saviour. My spirit became alive by the power of Christ.
So you've come to accept what someone told you about this Jesus, that he's your Lord and Savior. Your spirit then became alive by the power of said Jesus Christ.
Why would this Jesus person be Lord? We're way past feudalism, we now have democracy. Lords are not very well accepted... although present day politicians do a bang up job at impersonating them.
You also come to accept this man as your savior. What happened to you that required saving? Nowadays, the best saviors I know of are firemen and doctors... they actually save people from dangerous situations.
Your spirit became alive? how does that happen? I thought believers assumed their spirit was already living when they're born (the first time).
Well, bottom line, what were you before this "born again" event? And can you describe exactly what happened to you when it did occur?
I'm thinking of putting high odds on "psychological event misinterpreted by previous indoctrination", but I want to hear your side of the story.
