Bible Question (short): a physical or spiritual body? |
Question (full): Excuse me for asking more questions to clarify your answer. How is the new birth done correctly and for the right reasons or wrongly for the wrong reasons. If we are dead we cannot be alive without a rebirth? So why has dying to be a daily event? Perhaps this word (dying) is use with the meaning (put aside)as in Col 3:8 But now you also put them all aside: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and abusive speech from your mouth. I understand Jesus’ teachings to Nicodemus in John 3:5 as speaking of born without ever returning to the previous life. Nicodemus doesn’t seem to understand His teaching. Jesus’ answer is very revealing. 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. John 3:6 "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. John 3:7 "Do not be amazed that I said to you, 'You must be born again.' John 3:8 "The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit." Does this mean not having a physical body? In that case we will not be able to influence our rebirth. It will be done by the grace of God. I am looking forward to your explanation.
