Birth Canal—Gateway to Glory

There seems to be some ambiguities among none Christians regarding the concept of regeneration. Whenever the topic of "Born Again" arises, It had been argued in this book, Jesus does not want Christians only to be born again, but He wants Christians to be converted and become as little child. It is when a person becomes converted are they walking on the narrow path. Without been converted, become child-like, what person has is religious emotionalism. To be child-like gives the understanding that that's what obtains in heaven. According to Jesus, "For such is the Kingdom of God." This kind of discussions evokes controversies and in some cases dissensions. Peoples' emotions runs very high among relatives, friends and other acquaintances. It is not unusual, some times to hear in arguments, "Are the born again Christians the only ones going to heaven? We are all God's children." It is hoped that what has been conveyed in this book will in some ways alleviate some of the ambiguities. John 3:16 as the principle text used to support the necessity for a rebirth. Also, Matthew 7 narrow and broad path ways have been emphatically used in attempt to provide clarity to questions people outside the Christendom have and to show the differences in destinations of each of the ways. Making a comparison between birth canal and narrow gate seems to the author that it will provide an additional evangelistic message necessary to assist individuals who might still be unclear on how regeneration works and perhaps to stirrup some dialogue in a less hostile discussion. A lot of martyrdom-Christian beheading and other forms of Christians' assassination have been based on misunderstanding of a better way of helping none-Christians to see the relevance in born again correlating birth canal with narrow gate. This book addressed celebration of martyrdom as celebration of a soul which had been birthed into God's Kingdom. As mankind celebrate over the birth of a new born baby, so also Jesus and all His angels celebrate over a believer who would not acquiesce when presented with a choice to choose between Jesus or anything else. Readers have been encouraged to view martyrdom not as loss but as gain. Christians are in a battlefield and have been from the time Jesus Christ walked into the stage of this world. Jesus fought gallantly and dismantled powers of Satan and his minions, went back to heaven. This author believes that Jesus was welcomed and greeted upon His return with individuals who cued in lines with wide open arms to embrace Jesus' home coming. Such individuals stem from: Noah to Abraham to Issac to Jacob to Joseph to David to Moses and to a host of all the heroes of the Bible. In terms of what obtains in heaven, this author believes that heaven has it own culture. Relative to knowledge of culture known to mankind, Jesus exemplified God's culture through His teachings, His life, selfless love, kindness and compassion for others. This author believes that this was what Jesus meant when He said believers must become converted as this little child for such is the kingdom of heaven. Thus, heaven's culture is a culture of love, kindness, long-suffering, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
