I met with a born again Christian this week and interviewed him for my Living With Jesus Series on Youtube. I must say, it was the least inspiring conversation so far. It honestly left me feeling so sad for the brothers and sisters who are caught in this belief system. I literally had to let tears roll down my face to release the intensity of it all.
I wavered not in my faith, I was thinking however about all those who don’t yet have a relationship with Christ and if they were to ever run into a born again Christian in this way…it could be very destabilizing and even harmful.
I was inspired this morning to clarify why there is a difference between when we follow Christ, versus when we follow Christianity. We can follow Christ (over theology) as a Christian, and I know mannyyyy who are this way. Including others who I have interviewed for Living with Jesus. But there are definitely those Christians, more of an evangelical or born again nature, and they seem to be far on one side of Christian putting theology ahead of Christ. ** If you have more differences to add to this list, or questions to ask, please contribute to the conversation in the comments below.
Here are a few of the stark differences when following Christ vs being “born again” Christian:
Christ can be found in the bible, but so can so many things that contradict Christ.
We must think about this and choose wisely.
