Bible Note: Hi Tim, The Galatians 4:9 verse that you quoted for us has the word "again", (Strong's #3825) when speaking of turning back again to the weak and elementary things. Paul goes on and says in effect, "Do you desire to be enslaved to the things from above?" [Strong's #509] Rather, we are no longer slaves but sons of God. We are no longer slaves, but are called friends, because we now know God, or rather are known by God. John 3:3, "Jesus answered and said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again [we would say, from above], he cannot see the kingdom of **God." Galatians 4:29, "But as at that time he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the **Spirit, so it is now also." From the heart, Ray |
