1 | Born of the water means? | John 3:5 | Glory Bound | 134258 | ||
I'm sorry New Creature. I have heard your belief before, but what you believe, rational as it may sound, and what scripture teaches are two completely different things. Reread 3:6. John 3:6 That which is BORN OF THE FLESH IS FLESH; and that which is BORN OF THE SPIRIT IS SPIRIT. Water is merely a symbol of cleansing. Christ's blood cleanses the soul of man. I can't remember where it is, but I read a passage somewhere, which compaired the clensing of the earth durring the flood with baptism. If your scenario were the case, why did Christ bleed water when the soldier pierced his side with the spear? GB |

2 | Born of the water means? | John 3:5 | New Creature | 134289 | ||
John 3:6 That which is BORN OF THE FLESH IS FLESH; and that which is BORN OF THE SPIRIT IS SPIRIT BORN OF THE FLESH equals natural physical birth BORN OF THE SPIRIT equals spiritual birth In the discourse between Jesus and Nicodemus, Jesus is speaking about "birth" That is why the word "born" is used 8 times in John 3:3-8 Now we all know what a birth is. If Jesus intended anything other that "birth" He certainly would have said as much. The fact is that in John 3, Jesus was making a contrast between two births, the natural and the physical. See John Morans comments on this thread as well. Blessings New Creature |
