“I appreciate your thoughtful but incorrect opinion that somehow there are two emotional births.”

That’s a very curious reply because in no way did I say “two emotional births.” How did you get “emotional” from physical and spiritual?

“I know that you know that sin is ambiguous and undefined. There are sins of commission and sins of omission. There are sins of thoughts and action and inaction. Sins are countless. Thou shalt not kill has numerous exceptions , right???”

No, sin really isn’t “ambiguous and undefined.” God’s Word defines it. And the commandment is actually “Thou shalt not murder.” Breaking certain laws meant the death penalty, which the Jews were to impose. That’s not murder. There are many ways to sin, yes, but they all come from our flesh while if we have been spiritually reborn in Christ (have Christ living inside of us) then we have His Spirit which wars against the sin nature. His Spirit will convict of us our sins.

Once again, too, you didn’t answer or address some most important questions. There are some questions that Christians today can have some legitimate disagreement on. An example would be how and when a Christian should be baptized. While I believe the Bible is clear on both, I still believe there’s some room at least for discussion because over almost 2,000 years, different ways of baptism were adopted and then passed down, so some Christians inherited these other ways. But mostly there are many things where there is no room for debate and discussion, and to contradict, deny or otherwise make claims that are not be able to stand up under the light of Scripture is simply error at best. The questions you’re not answering create huge holes which would trouble anyone sincerely pursuing spiritual truth in Christ.

For us to be alive in Christ, our old self has to die.

“Now we see the glorious wisdom of God’s atoning sacrifice of His Son. One time. On the cross. Or Christ died for nothing.”

Not as you’ve laid out your beliefs about Jesus’ sacrifice. You’ve said you reject most of the Bible, which is where we learn all about Jesus and His sacrifice. The Bible is God’s Word, Jesus Himself. Would you deny that you just accept Christ on your own terms and won’t allow Him to change you and don’t see any need for yourself to be changed by Him? And your claim that things are as you claim they are, and most of the Bible should be discarded, or “Christ died for nothing” is in error.
