Bible Note: Romans1:19-20 gives you and understanding how to interpret the scriptures. Verse 20 says being understood by the things that are made.Also read Psalms19:1-4. What are the things that are made. Everything in the universe that includes man. If you look at man and other animals how do the reproduce. Do their offspring conceive themselves, or in other words do they bring themselves to life? No it is the fathers issue. James 1:18, 1Peter 1:23, Begat means to be conceived.Born again here in 1peter means to be conceived. In other words seeds in todays terminology means semen which is the mans part. This shows Gods part in bringing forth life. Galations 4:19-26 teaches that the church is our spiritual mother.(see also Mathew 12:50) So all true christians initially receive life at conception. That is the fathers issue. The mothers issue is is to nurture the baby until it is born. The mother is the church. Remember birth is just bringing forth something that already has life given at conception by the father. After birth the mother cares for the baby by feeding it milk until it is able enough to care for itself. Examples of milk Hebrews and corinthians. (1cotinthians 3 Hebrews 5 ) Adult hood eph.4:15 and others. |
