Greetings Rita, While I agree with some things you say, I believe you need what Apollos needed...to be instructed more perfectly in the truth. No pun intended.

That should go without saying this..... Life must proceed seeing, hearing believing, doing certain acts of righteousness. As it is in the natural, so much more in the spiritual world. Couple of examples should help: Now Rella, look at that verse carefully where I highlighted it for you to...

Greetings Eternally Grateful~ My brother, Jesus died for our sins, and was raised from the dead for our justification legally speaking. Have you ever read ann pondered these scriptures? I highlighted certain phrases to help you see clearly that our salvation from sin and condemnation was a...

AMEN!

Absolutely, it is the very purpose as to why this discourse is recorded in God's word. Regeneration precedes faith, understanding, etc. I'll be gone for a while this morning, but will come back and finish and then I''l exchange some posts with you and others, the Lord willing.

Verse 6 is nothing more than a commentary on verse five. Again, the flow of the context is so important for any person seeking to understand what is being said. This is not too deep. That which is born of the flesh is flesh~ "is water" in the previous verse, it is our natural birth into this...

Stay with the flow of the context and it will drive our understanding to the truth of what is being taught in this discourse. Based upon Nicodemus' godly confession, jesus came back with these words to him. "Verily, verily, I say unto thee except a man be born again, he cannot see the...

John 3:1-8~"There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. Jesus answered and said unto...

It is a no brainer~I'll vote again for the third time for Trump~he's the only man that is willing to take on corruption in media and politics and calls them out publicly! I do not like is ego, but I just remind myself that I'm not voting for a Sunday School teacher, I'm voting for a leader of...

It seems as though the raging waves of the theological battles have calm down over this issue~Christian verses born again. I'll go back to the other thread and consider John 3:1-8 verse by verse, the Lord willing.

Peter did not say~if any man suffer as a born again...etc., etc., ~ But if any man suffer as a Christian. Using the phrase born again does not identify us with Christ as the word Christian does ~ the term Christian clearly identifies us with Jesus' religion as much as any word that can be...

Nothing! My understanding of truth is based upon the new man within me that has another spirit from my old man~now your job is to figure out what is a new spirit and a new heart, which all of God's children now possess! Have fun.. I'm stepping out for a while...

Well now, what a cop out! The word Christian is used by Peter, a word that you reject.

Where? Guide me to it. Is there a thread on John 3:1-8?

Rita, #630 you have not answer. 1st Peter 4:16. I'm going to address John 3:1-8 later today. Verse by verse.

LOL!

This is a straw man argument~I never said that a man does not need to be born again in order to see the kingdom of God, or, understand the scriptures ~ of course I have taught for almost fifty years that regeneration precedes faith, repentance, seeing, understanding, etc. I do disagree with...

Rita, several times and in divers manners, it has been shown to you, nevertheless, you are willingly ignorant which is the worse deception of all. Rita, give me your definition of a Christian.

Then by your own confession, you reject the very meaning of the word Christian. Webster 1828 edition: You are rejecting a fundamental, and we might add....elementary truth, known worldwide among the English speaking people of this world, except with you.

It is so hard to argue with ignorance, especially so one that is spiritually void of certain truths, it is literally impossible, unless God intervenes and opens one's heart, eyes, and understanding. It's truly outside of our power to open one's heart, you are making me more convinced than ever...
