A person is not born again ("born from above" is another way to translate born again) without God's Holy Spirit baptism. Paul wrote about that baptism in Scriptures such as 1Co 12:12-13 and Eph 4:4-7. What "Water" is that in Jn 3:1-21? Is it the same "Water" of Jn 4:1-26? Is it the same "Water" of 1Jn 5? Is it the same "Water" of Rev 21-22? | ||||||

The Water of Jn 3 is the same Water of Jn 4:1-26 and Rev 21-22 as well as a multitude of other Scriptures in the OT and NT. Remember, originally there were no chapters or verses! The Water of Jn 3 is the Water that must wash us "whiter than snow", Ps 51; Isa 1-2. Nicodemus didn't need a lesson in human birth but as one who claimed to be a teacher there was something he should have known but didn't. Did Jesus Christ excuse him? No, He did not. | ||||||

Scripture ... Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit" (John 3:5-6) ... God's day to you, canawedding, The water in vesre 28 is that of phyiscal baptism. In John 4:1-26, the water is that we drink and living water ... yes, verses 1-2 mentions phyiscal baptism. Then we have "the spring of the water of life" (Rev 21:6) and "river of the water of life, clear as crystal, coming from the throne of God and of the Lamb" (Rev 22:1). But, this is in Heaven, after those who are saved there. Therefore, I believe the water in John 3 is not the same. Searcher |

Originally, there were no chapters and no verses in the Scriptures. Jn 3:1-21 is not about physical water; it is continued in Jn 4 and actually Jn 3 is also a continuation of Jn 1; Jn 2:1-11 just as Jn 7:37-39 is about the same Living Water of Jn 4:1-26 and the Water of Life in Rev 21-22; etc. Nicodemus was not ignorant about human birth but he was ignorant about something else and Jesus Christ did not excuse him. What did Nicodemus not know that he should have known as a teacher of Israel? Read Ro 1-8 about that same "flesh" of Jn 3:1-21. How must we go from the Law of Sin and Death to the Law of the Spirit of Life? The answer is very simple and it can be written in a very short paragraph. Those who have held on to Jesus Christ's Teaching will know His Truth and His Truth has set us free, Jn 8. | ||||||
