proper exegesis is lacking in your study of scripture and you are applying eisegesis to it

There you go again. You can't help yourself can you? Your quote literally added nothing to the discussion except to add more condescension to it. You should work on that.

Jesus came by water and blood from Mary's womb = Hebrews 10:5 and Luke 1:26-38

Where is the word 'water' or 'waters' in those verses?

John 1:14 - The Word became flesh = Mary's womb

The above is referring to conception, which just so happens to have the Holy Ghost involved...

Matthew 1:20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.

Word and Spirit combine to create a Living Soul.

And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one.

So, amniotic fluid and spirit agree? That does not sound right at all. How does amniotic fluid speak? You know there is a conversation happening within the Trinity right?

Spirit, Water, and Blood are all talking to each other and agreeing with each other. Do you not see it?

You know, there is a very important word that you seem to be ignoring. Look 'again':

John 3:3 "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."

John 3:7 "Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again."

The verse that @GodsGrace quoted had some very important context included with it. It is about becoming born AGAIN.

You @David in NJ are teaching that we must be reincarnated to see the Kingdom of God. We must die, be born again from amniotic fluid and the womb, then somehow we end up in Heaven.

Do you see the problem? Born vs. Born Again are two different things.

Gnome sayin'?

OK, look. If you really, I mean REALLY want to know how to solve the riddle, you must understand what 'waters' means in this verse:

Revelation 17:15 "And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues."

Is the waters amniotic fluid, or something else?

This describes the universal influence of the whore. To "sit" upon waters, is to exercise power over them. Also see Rev 13:7!

Them?

Says the waters are the peoples in that verse

Rev 17:15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

Rev 17:15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
Which is why it states in Rev 21 that there will be no more sea = nations.

Those surviving nations are the end of the 1000 year reign will come into the Israel of God.
