Bible Note: Hi Tim, I would like to convince you that water and blood for the One who came, and water and spirit for the one born into the kingdom makes good sense. However, if that doesn't fly with you, what do you think about the NKJ version's rendering of John 3:11? John 3:11, NKJ, "Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness." I believe that either the "wind" verse or this one must introduce some testimony of Deity to show that God is true. John 3:32, "What He has seen and heard, of that He testifies; and no one receives His testimony. He who has received His testimony has set his seal to this, that God is true." From the heart, Ray |
