Hi Tim, I appreciate the time you have spent with me on this thread; and with John3:11. 1) I think that this verse is indeed including all three Persons. Jesus (God) has been telling Nicholdemus about earthly things. And I think that He has been saying these things as a Teacher, in contrast to the teacher Nichodemus. 2) Since Nichodemus came to Jesus by night, I don't think that the disciples would be present. In any case, it is certainly Jesus who is saying, verse 5, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit [spirit] he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." 3) I think that verse 32 is saying that He has come as God, and no one receives His testimony. I believe that it is the writer who received His testimony and has set his seal to the fact that God is true. Verse 34, "For He whom God has sent speaks the words of (God); for He gives the Spirit [spirit] without measure." I would still like to convince you that these words of "spirit" would best be lower case. 1a) verse 5, "...unless one is born of water and the spirit he cannot enter the kingdom of God." The water and blood of 1 John 5:5 and the water and spirit here still make sense to me. 2a) verse 6, That which is born of flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the spirt is spirit. 3a) verse 8, "The wind blows where it wishes,...; so is everyone who is born of the spirit." 4a) verse 34, "...for He gives the spirit without measure." From the heart, Ray |

Hi Tim, Thank you for your prayers. I hope to have many conversations with you yet here on the forum; I'm just now starting my fight with cancer. We all live one day at a time don't we? God is good. From the heart, Ray |

Ray, we all of us must indeed live but one day at a time. We have no promise of tomorrow. No one on the face of the earth knows when he gets out of bed of a morning that he will be around to see the sun set. One morning nearly 14 years ago my 20-year-old son -- young, healthy, and full of the joy of being alive -- leaped out of bed in eager expectation of the day that lay before him. Before that day came to a close he was dead, the victim of an automobile accident. Whether we shall live another hundred years or another day is of little importance in the perspective of eternity. What is of utmost importance is how we live and for whom. God's blessings to you. May His face shine upon you and give you peace, both now and forevermore. --Hank | ||||||

Hi Hank, Great thoughts coming from a sad situation. I am sure your son is still missed but he is still being used of God as people hear your message. God bless you. | ||||||
