Yeah, you just want to argue, and really only use (abuse) God's Word to suit your own aims.No, not wanting to argue at all, but simply to let readers know that there are people who serve God without being where you are.

Are you trying to take out your Biblical illiteracy on me? When is Jesus' coming per His Word?Ahahahaha!!!!! Amadeus, trying to argue??! My vote is that he is the MOST humble man on this whole site!!
Maybe I am not as well read as many on here but, I DO know where my salvation comes from.Are you trying to take out your Biblical illiteracy on me? When is Jesus' coming per His Word?
Yeah, he's just looking for an argument, because the "born again" example is about a SPECIFIC TOPIC that Jesus was teaching in John 3, and NOT in all those other verses he quoted. So I'll say it again...Ahahahaha!!!!! Amadeus, trying to argue??! My vote is that he is the MOST humble man on this whole site!!
I do not believe that he is looking for an argument...i'd have to go back and read all of your replies to him and, just don't have the time right not. Watching thread. Amadeus is an honorable man, in my book.Yeah, he's just looking for an argument, because the "born again" example is about a SPECIFIC TOPIC that Jesus was teaching in John 3, and NOT in all those other verses he quoted. So I'll say it again...
John 3:5-7
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
KJV
The above in red with "again" is Greek anothen, which means...
NT:509
anothen (an'-o-then); from NT:507; from above; by analogy, from the first; by implication, anew:
KJV - from above, again, from the beginning (very first), the top.

Christ's idea with Greek anothen (from above) is about being born of The Spirit, like He showed in verse 6 above. Is that the same idea as being 'born of God'? Yeah, but here in John 3 more specifically, showing us Who and How we must be born from above in order to enter into the Kingdom of God.
greetingsSo WORLD SOCIALISM wins, huh? No rebuke, no correction, etc., allowed in Christ's Church??? That's basically what you guys are saying with not understanding 'righteous indignation' which caused even Apostle Paul to REBUKE and CORRECT the brethren when needed, especially in 1 Corinthians 5 when Paul strongly rebuked the leaders at Corinth for not taking care of the problem of that one among them that was having sex with his own mother...
And in case you guys can't figure out what Paul is doing below, he is REBUKING the Church leaders there at Corinth for not casting that wicked member out of their Church! Paul even calls them "puffed up", and that their "glorying is not good".
1 Cor 5
5 It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife.
2 And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.
3 For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed,
4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.
11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
KJV
That only confirms what I said about Apostle Paul not having a problem offering 'rebuke' to the sinners in the Church. And it does not change a thing with Paul's decision of 1 Corinthians 5 to cast out that sinner in the congregation that was having sexual intercourse with his own mother, which also is against God's laws.greetings

a response to 1 Corinthians 5:
This is the third time I am coming to you. At the mouth of two witnesses or three shall every word established.
I have said beforehand, and I do say beforehand, as when I was present the second time, so now, being absent, to them that have sinned heretofore, and to all the rest, that, if I come again, I will not spare; seeing that ye seek a proof of Christ that speaketh in me; who to you-ward is not weak, but is powerful in you:
2 Cor 13:1-3 (ASV)

Sounds like you are TRYING... to judge Apostle Paul for His decision in Christ Jesus. That won't work.Greetings

the word says that in a congregation, of three elders, eternal matters that are within, the one that committed, the sin
The whole congregation
These three witnesses
and divisive man:

He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
