NASB | John 1:13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | John 1:13 who were born, not of blood [natural conception], nor of the will of the flesh [physical impulse], nor of the will of man [that of a natural father], but of God [that is, a divine and supernatural birth--they are born of God--spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified]. |
Subject: John 1:13 born,not of natural descent, |
Bible Note: John I love you brother and I want only the best for you. However let me say your majoring in minors. There is so much more to God, Jesus Christ, and Christianity than election. Even Calvin had five petals on his tulip. We all know how you feel about election and you are entitled to that opinion, but now that we have heard it, discussed it, hashed it, rehashed it and rehashed it again let’s lay it down and move on. Your constant attempts to swing treads of this forum to election has made the subject odorous, and is alienating you from the rest of the forum. Make no mistake, no one is objecting to your believe in election, nor is anyone denying you the right or the ability to express your belief in election. What we are objecting too is your constant carping on the subject. Brother I was not judging another man’s slave. I was making an observation. I have learned in life that we must all drive down the road. Some of us seem to be able to set course and drive straight and rarely ever go into the ditch, others weave from one side to the other and many times end up in the ditch., then there are still others that drive from ditch to ditch.
