1 | does one need to be baptised to be saved | John 3:5 | Morant61 | 130381 | ||
Greetings Doc! Thanks for the response my friend, even if it did include a bad pun! ;-) I have no problem with your interpetation at all. I also would have no problem with seeing the phrase as a reference to physical birth. The only reason I responded was because I have read some commentaries that make it sound as though physical birth is a 'loony' option! :-) But, I think a good case can be made for it from the context. The only position I cannot accept is that the phrase refers to baptism! :-) There simply isn't any reference to baptism in this passage whatsoever. Just as a side note, have you ever wondered why the phrase 'born from above' was translated as 'born again'? :-( I never have figured that one out! Keep up the excellent work, I enjoy both your's and your wife's posts. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

In case you are interested, Wycliffe translated John 3:3 Jhesus answerde, and seide to hym, Treuli, treuli, Y seie to thee, but a man be borun ayen, he may not se the kyngdom of God. Tyndale translated it as follows: Iesus answered, and said unto him: Verily verily I say unto thee: except a man be born a new, he cannot see the kingdom of God. The Geneva Bible states: Iesus answered, and said vnto him, Verely, verely I say vnto thee, except a man be borne againe, he can not see the kingdome of God. |
