Do you know the word euphemism?

What is the "again" part? Again means that there was a birth before, and now there must be another birth, i.e., born again. So what was the first born of the Spirit if there is to be a birth of the Spirit again?

First, the "blood" of Jesus is a euphemism for his death. If if was just blood, there would have been much easier ways to get some of Jesus blood without killing him on a cross after severe beatings. Second, I agree, the water itself does nothing about sin. However, the moment of baptism is...

Yes, the first time for everyone who has ever been born when God formed the spirit in him. The second time [born again] for those who believed in God.

Red, you know I love you as a brother in Christ, but now you are just being funny. John the Baptist taught that water baptism was for the forgiveness of sins. And so did Peter, Paul and all the rest of the apostles who spoke of it. You deny that and probably will to you last dying breath. You...

Now why wouldn't I be surprised to find that you think the KJV is the Authoritative Bible. It isn't of course because it contains errors just as all the others do.

And Just how do you think He has done or is doing that?

I don't know you or anything about you. If you are any part of an organizational decision, I want no part of the organization.

And who decides what is error. You sound a little like the Main Stream Media who are always anxious to identify what they do not like as false.

Your words. I just wanted to know which versions you considered as authoritative.

Which Bible is authoritative? ASV? DRB? ISV? KJV? NASB? NIrV? NIV? RV? YLT? ? ? ? ? ? ?

It's like don't know what the scripture actually says, and don't want to know if it doesn't live up with a personal preconceived message.

Says the one who apparently has absolutely no idea where our English translations come from and why there are differences in them, or how to analyze what those differences might mean. So terribly, terribly sad. It is a sure sign of a closed mind and not the mind of one seeking to know and...

It has absolutely nothing to do with anything about natural or unnatural ears. It all has to do with Jesus avoiding giving the Scribes and Pharisees something to bring Jesus to trial and killing Him before the appropriate time. Matthew 13:11 And he answered and said unto them, Unto you it is...

It is just an example of someone who knows full well that none of the Translators/Interpreters of the English Versions of the Bible are divinely inspired persons of God.

And you think that meant I didn't think I understood why we need to be born again? Oh where to even begin?

Oh My, there certainly is a wagon load of egotism and self-righteous in that statement. No the Scripture does not say that. Can the devil hear Christ? Is the devil not of the devil.

I have explained it to you so many times already and you have either ignored or outright rejected what I have said.

But it is your opinion what "Born Again of imperishable seed" means.

The very fact that you have asked those questions demonstrates that you do not understand what regeneration means and is. And you are not alone in that. Calvinism/Reformed Theology has it wrong as well.
