@CadyandZoe @Ferris Bueller @Enoch111 @Ronald Nolette Nicodemus misunderstands what "born again" means ("Born again? Be born out of my mother's womb again?"), so, in His clarification, Jesus first addresses Nicodemus's error (the negative--"No, not being born of any womb at all--much less...

Until now I'd only heard of "air brakes". Are these like "hydraulics"? LOL

Created a new thread for the discussion.

Jesus is laying out the requirement for entering the Kingdom, so He's only discussing the new birth with "water and Spirit".

Precisely my view.

Many, many times I have explained that my view is NOT that water and Spirit are the same but refer to the Word and the Spirit. I use the materials provided me by the author. Please do not miss that I think "water" is "Word". Yes, to say "born of flesh" and "born of spirit" refer to the two...

@CadyandZoe I will reply here when I get a chance.

Already told you I'm not discussing this here as it's off topic. Please create a new thread.

That's disorderly, I don't practice that.

LOL I meant "you're chiming in" on the off-topic discussion I'm trying to END so we don't mess up your thread--"you're preventing it from ending".

Now even YOU are chiming in? Water isn't pregnant. We're not born of it. Water isn't a being. I believe it is likely that "water" refers to "the Word"--"the Words I speak are Spirit" (yet we know "the Word" is distinct from "the Spirit"--they're tightly bound together though). "The Spirit is...

No, by that reasoning, anyone could defend raising any topic found in the Bible, whereas this discussion is meant to center around the particular question of "Bible Alone"--not around the virtually infinite number of discussions that could be had on the topics that are found in the Book, but on...

Where does the Book of John ever mention "amniotic fluid"? I'm drawing on what the author is providing me, you're having to import. The "connection" is self-explanatory : the author says "rivers of living water will flow from his belly refers to the Spirit" and "born of water and Spirit". I'm...

We need to wrap this up on this thread because it is off topic. If you want to continue with the conversation then another thread should be created. I've remained unmoved (not just here on the thread, but in my heart), for the aforementioned reasons, by any of your arguments for your view anyway...

Already provided the reasons. You haven't cared to read I guess? I shouldn't be asked to repeat myself. One was that there is a phrase linking a metaphorical "water" with Spirit in John 7--and it is probably speaking of the Word of God since we already have other verses saying we are born of...

LOL Here's the difference : we say "We're trying to follow God's Word, and we're learning; and if anyone, including any of us, goes astray just ignore them." We don't claim Infallibility. We don't claim the unbiblical things you do. Anyway last comment on that subject here. Not fruitful...

The Pope said it. "just follow your conscience do good and we'll meet you on the way" something like that. Also "who am I to judge?" on gays. Kissing the Quran. Blessing idolatry. Sick twisted people call that holy. Who cares about the "official" teachings--they're what LED to this. Anyway it's...
