Bible Note: 1. I fail to see where the context of the verse undermines how I have understood it. It rather further supports and clarifies my position. Nowhere is a change in the substance/nature of the physical/spiritual person shown to be involved. 2. There are unbelievers who have understood what the Bible says but refuse to attach any significance or value to it in their lives. They refused, not because they did not understand but because they did not believe it had any relevance in their lives. 3. There is no arguing we pray for God to change a person's heart, but the kind of change you suggest is not, as far as I can see it, in the Bible or even in the verses you cited thus far. |
