Many children of disobedience wrest John 3:5 which says:

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.

They, being therefore convicted in their ungodly hearts, convince themselves into believing that born of water means “natural birth”. And not what it actually means. In them is fulfilled the scripture which saith:

…Because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Ignoring the fact that nowhere does the scripture say that being born of water means amniotic fluid, they seem to forget that ALL MEN are already born “of water”; making the first part of John 3:5 COMPLETELY REDUNDANT. It is like saying:

“Except a german be born in Germany and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.”

Furthermore, they seem to forget that:

…Flesh and blood CANNOT inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

Yet the Lord said (according to their vain imaginations) that except a man be born naturally AND of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. You must therefore enter the Kingdom of God as a natural man AND with the Spirit of God in you. Thereby, making Paul a liar. They completely ignore the fact that, that which is born of flesh cannot inherit the kingdom of God.

Behold the depth, ladies and gentlemen, a reprobate mind will stoop to.

Woe unto them.

They, being therefore convicted in their ungodly hearts, convince themselves into believing that born of water means “natural birth”. And not what it actually means. In them is fulfilled the scripture which saith:
Jesus was... pointing to the idea of natural birth in water in John 3, and not... water baptism.

Those who struggle with understanding that, like yourself, just aren't paying attention to the actual Scripture...

John 3:1-8
3 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:

2 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.

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."

4 Nicodemus saith unto him, "How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?"

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.

8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit."
KJV


In verse 6, Jesus DEFINES His meaning of verse 5. He compares FLESH BIRTH to being spiritually born by The Spirit. No brainer. The subject about water is about FLESH BIRTH.

Flesh and blood CANNOT inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
You quote it correctly
that which is born of flesh cannot inherit the kingdom of God.
Then you twist it by adding a word.

The Word of God interprets itself ...an you don't have to guess or put your spin of private interpretation on it...as the following verse 3:6 Jesus clarifies what he was saying.
Jhn 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

An you are correct that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God .... but here is a little insight No one is born a spirit.... we are born flesh and blood ....and it is a free will decision to accept Jesus as our savior in order to be born of spirit. But if your not born flesh and blood ...you simply do not exist.

signed
one of the children tat you deem ....of disobedience

Jesus is the water of life.

We're Baptism mandatory, Jesus would have lived and practiced that example by baptising people. He did not baptize anyone.
