Thorry...holding my tongue.

Here, hold my grape juice!

I've been going over what you have written here so far, but cannot put my finger on the "why" you mention in your original post. Just to be clear, would you mind giving a concise statement on "why you are not a theist anymore?"

You describe the advent/return of Jesus, why then do you argue against me, when I agree that He has come? And since you know and say that He has come/returned already, do you also look for Him to come a third time? Or are we in agreement? Because He did not say He will come again and...and then...

No...that's wrong. Nicodemus would also have read of the true prophets and even expected one like Moses to come. Moreover, Nicodemus actually said he knew Jesus was "from God." Your whole premise is completely off. As for "So what?" if Ezekiel was caught up in the spirit-- That is the way God...

Yes, that is what I am saying...as do the scriptures, as John was also saying. He spoke of when Jesus comes in the glory of the Father--whom is not flesh, but spirit. Which is the second and final advent. But you apparently have not reconciled the fact that Jesus laid down His physical body in...

There is no such promise. You have added "physically." It's not there in the scriptures. You are reading into it what the flesh desires.

Unfortunately, you are wrong because you are breaking the single most important principle: John 3:6 "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." You point to the flesh, because it is born of you. But what is born of God...is spirit.

You have read the words, but not taken all to heart. There are two things wrong with what you have said here: 1. If Jesus went to the Father, and if anyone can say that He is with or in them and them in He...then He has both gone and also returned again. By definition that is a [second] advent...

No Jew acquainted with the word of God would believe in the miracles of God? That's crazy. And you making a Monty Python like joke out of the whole thing is crazy too. So what--is God not the same yesterday, today, and forever?

It is you who have a peculiar way of read the passage. Nicodemus certainly was not "joking" to come out at night in secret to speak to Jesus; and according to Jesus, no, he did not understand the issue at all. So, no, you are wrong on many levels. As for Ezekiel, where is it written that he...

Sounds like a challenge of intellect versus organic versus spiritual. I suspect, if one turns to either the right or the left to the person next to them they will get a different approach than their own, and the energy spent will help to keep the world turning on its axis.

Fear not the darkness, nor let the rain rule the day!

That is the flesh talking, the thinking of men. Flesh, blood, and bone are all of the world. God is spirit. Therefore, it is as He (and you) say, "a spirit hath not flesh and bones." --God has not bones. But here you are saying that bones can inherit the kingdom, when it is impossible! Also...

I was stating that three advents is error. On the contrary, the scriptures say just two advents: first the natural, then the spiritual, i.e., once natural, and [again] spiritual. 1 Corinthians 15:46 This issue is confused by many who have not believed Jesus when He said: Luke 11:20 "But if I...

No...you are being silly, and redundant. On the contrary, Jesus did not say "You must be born again, and again, and again." But only stated what should be obvious, that just as Nicodemus had been born of water, he must also be "born again" (just once more).

Your supposed evidences are not evidence of flesh or bone inheriting the kingdom of God, but rather evidence of Christ's victory and power over death ("on earth as it is in heaven"). These things are a matter of "rightly dividing the word of truth", which you have incorrectly mixed up. Those...

It is our "old man" who lived/lives within the confines of time...but not so our "new man." This is what Jesus referred to as "entering in" to the kingdom of God where all is "the same yesterday, today, and forever." That "new man" is born of the spirit of God, as opposed to the flesh, that "man...

No...you are trying to make something out of it that it is not. Paul explains: "the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual."

Repetition (parables) is a biblical language standard. Nicodemus knew what it meant to be born of water, so Jesus would have expected him to know what it would mean to be born also of the spirit of God.
