Born Again: 'Are you kidding?'

I find it silly for a person to claim as born again if not practicing the right things in his or her life. A typical exam is my neighbor who keeps on worshipping and listening to God's words in the Holy Bible. But, they are always drinking alcohol and creating loud noises at night. Have you ever meet a false prophet in the neighborhood? Image Credit: lh3.googleusercontent.com

Your neighbor should worship with acts and not just words.

@marguicha I do agree with you. It is best to do good deeds not by just saying words.

They should do it in action. Unfortunately, they are not.

@rakski You said it right. There is a pastor in front of our house. He feels so highly of himself.

Well there are many like that around where they really do not do what they preach. I guess we cannot do anything about that unlessyou confront them and make them realize thatz

@Shavkat Oh they are the same people you were referring to in your previous posts. I hope they would start to realize it that they are becoming nuisance in your place.

I don't mind their business for being like this. I just only react if being affected or insulted deliberately. This particular neighbor is provocative last time by letting their dog barks for 24 hours last Valentine's Day. They left the dog without any food and water. It was caged up, too. My mother called their attention and if they continue this, they will be reported to the barangay here.

@Shavkat I have heard that some villages have such people too, and in fact they are making up their own religion.

@May2k8 The good thing is that they are not a cult. Sometimes they claimed that they are the only ones to be saved by God.

All I got to say is amen to that. I do get sometimes we fall astray but not that far. You a bad person to say you born again.My opinion and as long as they admit then I will go as far to say ok you born again but most people do not and I do laugh at their hypocrisies.

I do not mind their hypocrisies as long as they do not bother or affect other people. Lately, they are provoking. I hope they will not overdo it. They will see my evil side.

What a shame, making believe they are following God's commands, yet living life as they please! Born again, means to 'change directions' to turn around and live our life different.

I agree. They are just cheating people and themselves. I cannot even look at them because I am feeling annoyed with their presence in the neighborhood.

@Shavkat One man I know was taking up a collection, supposedly for his 'church.' The idiot doesn't even believe in God, let alone go to church!

@Shavkat Much water has flowed under the bridge since those teachings. It is time individuals started thinking for themselves.

I know many who practice religion and then do things, which makes them a hypocrite. Unfortunately this behavior turns many away from religion.

most of the time, it is not the religion/philosophy that is the problem, but the practitioners, meaning, how it is practiced.
