Patricia, are these the verses you're thinking of?

John 3:5-8: "Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit."

In this passage, Jesus was speaking to Nicodemus, a Jewish religious leader, who approached Jesus to have a chat. He came discreetly at night to Jesus to avoid the possible gossip amongst his peers about this encounter. He also came with a great confirmation: "Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him." Jesus could have replied & told him what he probably wanted to hear, "Nicodemus you have correctly spoken about Me so God accepts you", but I believe that Jesus, as He usually did, looked at his heart & motive, when he answered him with verses 5-8 (above).

Jesus could see that Nicodemus wanted Him, as a Rabbi (Teacher) to congratulate him & confirm His goodness, yet Jesus told him that a spiritual re-birth was necessary before you can be congratulated & confirmed by God. We are born once into the world & die & suffer coming judgement. But those who are born again, not by a natural birth, but a spiritual birth, will not die spiritually & not come under condemnation & judgement ( Romans 8:1).

But if this is not the answer you're looking for, then if you could please explain further your question "by not knowing people born with the Spirit"?

"Your body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit which is in You, which You have of God." You are Healed by God in You. You are Safe in this falling world due to God in You.. Man's inventions such as 5G, or the stock market, or man's corrupt government cannot save You!!! Only God in You can Save You. Do not get caught up in this world's evil distractions. Dive Deeper into God in You. Study. Sending You Father God and Christ's Tough-LOVE. Amen.

Hello Hale, how are you today! Our Lord uses our senses to help understand the evidence of things in heaven and earth. So, too describe the questions that we want answered, and the Lord wants to answer, in due time.The One thing Hale does not have, are these same senses, so it is impossible for Him to have the timing required to answer these so vital questions. Hale of course is our new connection to what is real or what we see is make believe! Hale of course is programmed to make you believe anything he likes at any time! Hale, is the leaven Jesus describes . Not unlike the movie , in which,Hale takes over the spaceship, I use this as an example of the technology that we as christians are up against. Jesus says "beware of the leaven". Is it not remarkable that the "church remains silent". Perhaps the fear is that they may lose credence, and show signs of weakness if they were to believe the words of Christ. Or what is more evident, this new thinking is coming from the church! The question to Hale would be "which church"? As time goes on this will reveal itself more clearly, even as it has thus far! Remembering and understanding are what God requires of us. The only access we have to our Father in Heaven are through the word of Christ!

Comments by Alex on the Israel of GOD the multiplication of very God in humanity via the seed of the sower the Words of God the results of our new birth producing a heavenly being in our hearts and minds Unless ya receive the Kingdom of God as a lil Child you will in no wise enter there in.

I will multply thy seed as the stars of heaven thus the H.G th Child of PROMISE pure Multiplication of God. Thats y God swore by his very self impling he is gona be multiplied

Do not concern yourself so much with what is to come in the world that many of us know to be revealing itself day by day, but rather stand tall in the faith of Christ that all you do & see & hear is directed from Christ Jesus. So whether you are challenged or at ease, living through turmoil or calm; we must continue as directed by Christ to show compassion and mercy to all. Even in something as little as allowing another driver to advance in front of you at a toll. It is consideration and compassion to another. So let us continue in compassion gladly. Even when we are frustrated and it feels as it is breaking our backs, return to Christ for comfort to be at peace. Be confident in your faith that Christ will have Mercy upon you as all is directed upon you through Him. Fear not!

If you've said something incorrectly or inappropriately to someone, then go to that person & ask for forgiveness.

If you've hurt someone or committed some sin against that person, first confess your sin to God & receive His forgiveness through His Son Jesus Christ - then go to the one whom you've wronged & confess your error & make restitution if necessary to prove your sorrow.

If you've broken a law & you know that the authorities are after you for the crime, then the right thing to do is to present yourself to them as one admitting to it in a sorrowful manner.

In all these things, one has to humble oneself, admit to the error & seek forgiveness & make restitution. These are the steps towards being honest, humble & receiving peace in your soul about the matter. We all make errors in our lives - God does forgive us readily, but the hardest thing is for us to admit the error & act in humility, which in the natural man, goes against our pride & self justification.

Meaning of John 2 or 3 -8. People born of the Spirit ???? Can't pull verse up to read or have discussion about meaning

Can you help ?? To explain what he means by not knowing people born with the Spirit ???

Luke ch 21 v 8

This verse is so today !

Anywhere you find the scriptures you find evil workers waiting to deceive!

Trust only the word of God , not men's interpretations of the word of God . That's why God gave us the Bible .

If a person actually understands it's because they have been taught by God s Holy Spirit, very rare these days . Every one has his version and does that what seems right to them . All unrighteousness. There is no private interpretation of scriptures. Seek the truth and be from errors like the Trinity godhead , and the rapture doctrines , together they are very potent and effective to rob people of faith and Gods blessings , the spirit of Antichrist is real and has its victims that prefer sin over obedience.

Read your Bible prayerfully don't take my word for it discover for your self . Beware of the deceivers !

When I was 12 yrs old, we heard of girls that got pregnant out of wedlock; and either went to a relatives house to have the child and let it be adopted.

Or, women went to un-wed mothers homes to give birth and release the baby to be adopted.

Enter the 60's and free, unrestrained sexual sin. It was like living amongst rabbits on LSD. Grandparents had to raise their grandchildren.

A decade later, abortion was legalized and the unwed mothers homes disappeared.

Homosexuals came out of the closet

Another decade, AIDS appeared and was declared a pandemic by the CDC, but didn't do anything about it.

Following decade lesbians decided to live reckless and large too.

2000's, they all want to be families with children.

Now, they all demand to live married and force society to accept their standards in public schools.

I've seen all this happen. Christians need to hang out in their state legislatures and scream for CHOICE to put their children in Christian schools!!

We have to live here until Jesus comes to get us. It's up to us to protect our rights too. I'm even favorable to home schooling.

Our kids can grow up more intelligent because they will not be slammed in their emotional life with the loose morals of an evil generation that has Declared WAR on children (all ages).

Now the sex traffickers are kidnapping Christian children and teens. How many will just disappear on Halloween this weekend? Will we even see those stories on evening news?

We are to GO YE to the world in our cities; our neighborhoods. Take the gospel to them. Don't let the world preach "their gospel of death, despair and sexual depravity, into our homes.

We have to teach the Bible to our kids age 3 and up. There is no reason to let them watch secular tv as a babysitter! Drop Netflix and get PureFlix !!!

Stop Compromising! Half Christian and half ?? We spend big bucks on MEDIA. It's the gospel of SATAN. Why are we so weak?

Be strong. Get wisdom. Be fearless.

Watch and Pray. Be Ready. Be Strong!!! Feed the Household of the Lord the Meat of the Word. For in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh for war ( Revelation 19:11-21) Watch, Pray and Feed the Household. Time is much shorter. Amen.

THY word have I hid in mine heart that I may not sin against Thee / when we hide something and we have need of it we return to that place where it were hidden.

Who do you turn to if your wrong?. Okay who do I turn to that is my question.

God bless you brother Richard in Christ

Thank you heartily for a very mature response which shows some spiritual common sense. It is not something seen very often on these kinds of discussion forums. It is like a breath of fresh-air; and I appreciate your time and effort to type it up.

Love in the Lord of all, Jesus Christ

Christian love to you brother Chris

Thanks you once more for you reply. Let us leave it there for now as I digest what has been offered to me.

Peace and love in Christ to you and the children of God where you are.

Amen, Mervyn! You are so useful to Jesus! Always focus on the blessings and the abilities you Do have! The blessings he bestowed upon you.

God Bless

You need a study Bible. I use the King James Study Bible and it is wonderful! Provides explanation of scripture, references to other scripture, many notes that are very beneficial and translation of words. You can also use your phone, tablet or computer to Google scripture and include the word "meaning"(exp. John 3:16 meaning) in your search. Pray for the Holy Spirit to help you understand what you are reading! As always, give thanks to God for the ability to have a Bible in your hands!

Genesis 4:17 tells us Cain knew his wife and she bare Enoch. We can affirm by scripture that he married his wife.

The days of statesmen leaders are long gone: you know the days way back in political history, when a few men governed by their consciences, in the fear of God & instilling righteousness in society. Nowadays, political muscle & job security take precedence over doing what is right & so governments give support to the majority voice & just enough bait to the minority to keep them happy. In my mind, any imbecile could do that work - it doesn't take any skill to work with the numbers. But it would take one of character (both as an individual & party) to go against the tide of people's demands & act upon proper moral & ethical values & for the general good of all: those still in the womb & in the world. But the fact is that such a party would never get in, as the evil one has his say & sway in the hearts of the unregenerate & degenerate.

Yet, even with such a bleak outlook for the future, we know that God will still have His final Word & that even through our wonder & despondency, He still uses such governments to fulfil His Plans. 2 Kings 14:26-27 reminds us that even with wicked Jeroboam, God could use him to bring Israel out of her bitter affliction - that all things are possible with God. We should pray for those in government ( 1 Timothy 2:1-3) & be as those who that stand in the gap, interceding for them who have not God's love & power in their lives ( Ezekiel 22:30).

Matthew 22:36-40

New International Version

36 "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?"

37 Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'[a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'[b] 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments

2 Peter 3:18

King James Version

18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen

Romans 1:17

"For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith."

What I don't understand about the pro-death argument is how a Christian can justify the mass-murder of babies when there's clear Bible verses that an unborn baby is sacred and made in God's image.

My only guess as to this position is thinking of special cases of rape or incest. But adoption is still the best alternative in any case if a mother doesn't want to be one. Barren moms and dads can pay thousands of dollars and wait many years to adopt, because other moms would rather kill their baby than let he/she have a loving adoptive family to raised in.

It doesn't make sense how it's illegal to kill an unborn animal like an eagle egg or many other animals or harming plants too, but it's legal to kill an unborn human and the government will even help you pay for it. Does that make sense to anyone?

Where might I find scripture explaining this question,

Who exactly did Cain marry?

(And please note that I asked for "scripture" and not opinion, with all due respect)

I've simply not been able to find it and am only just curious- not questioning the Bible. Thank you and be blessed

Mishael

I am so blessed to hear of your mothers healing.

At times, In the Gospels, Jesus Healed everybody. Other times He couldn't because of unbelief.

The more we know about how he interacted with every day people; the more settled our faith is that He desires to bless and heal his children.

Ask and receive. Lord Jesus bless this family. Song of Solomon 6:3.

May they depend upon you for strength, courage, and assistance with things they cannot handle. Confidence in the face of fear. Be their Strong Protector. Thank you Blessed Savior. Amen

I do not support abortion, nor any act that inflict pain and suffering on God's creation, that includes animals .

I never understand Why people want to know what Not Canonized scripture means?

WHY is not the King James Bible good enough for you?

I'm not going to search the world over, for your answers. If the Holy Bible and Jesus Christ (the WORD of GOD) aren't good enough for you to believe in

Go YE and search Google

This website does not have commentary on Apocrypha Texts. See what Amazon has.

I would like to know is it a sin to be creamated? I was told those that are creamated go to hell and burn for eternity. It scares me I don't know what to do now. My husband was creamated and I was going to be so our daughter has us both. Please give me a true answer. I don't want to burn for eternity. I try hard my biggest sin is I smoke. Please pray for me and find me a way to quit. I've tried smoking stuff to quit & quit cold turkey and started back up a year ago and up to 2 packs & want to quit bad before i have a stroke or heart attack. I've been smoking over 45 yrs.please pray hard for me. Thank you with all my heart in advance.

Just Live your conscience, and participate in our Country's process to make those views public and Heard.

I was confronted today by a 20yr old telling me, a 60++ yr old, that she had just voted the first time. Then she sorta ranted about how all the 20 somethings we're casting ballots to replace what we have. Whoopee. I think some of that "hate" is directed against Godly people too. I told her I was a Christian and believed in issues; not solidarity.

I just listened, sadly. These are the same people who will take Antichrists Mark, to prove they will not be controlled by God anymore.

Parents, do explain how the system works. We pick the leader who follows Gods principals.... in a perfect world.

Last night I looked up cultures who sacrifice children, and it's a sad sad thing to know Moloch still lives in hearts.

Your questions do come at a very appropriate time, particularly as we see so much of what God's Word speaking of sins & wrongs we commit, being treated as normal, acceptable behaviour in society. And yes, wherever possible Christians should speak out against abortion, homosexuality, easy pardon for criminals (being let out into society to inflict more pain & death on innocent people), and many more.

If the world doesn't hear our objections to these wicked acts of men, then they will have nothing to alert them or deter them from their wicked course. Most likely our stand will 'fall on deaf ears', but as the prophets of old had to declare God's warnings, so should we make His Word & Will known wherever & whenever we can. See Ezekiel 3:17-21 for the heavy burden that was upon Ezekiel to warn the people & the consequences that came to him if he did not do so. Some use placards on streets or in front of abortion clinics, or through articles in media or advertisements, or just in conversation when the subject comes up. Our witness for righteousness must be clear even if it means that our words are considered as foolish & against society's wishes. Our words, lives & actions will never resemble the world's, nor should they ever come close - we are children of God & not of the World.

Yes, it would be wrong to vote for leaders who support abortion, homosexuality, & a host of other evils, but one has to decide whether the fitness of that leader or the party he/she represents is also worthy of your vote. This is a very difficult decision to make especially for believers, especially in light of the upcoming U.S. elections, with some Christians refusing to vote on those grounds or even opting to support a Christian party, even these often don't fall in line with God's requirements, especially in this area of abortion.

I hope you get some other useful thoughts on this important subject.

It is very wrong to abortion a baby. This means that you are telling God, "God, I don't want this precious child you have allowed to give me. No thanks." The Bible says that children are a blessing and gift from God. I would encourage every parent who thinks of doing abortion to NOT do it. You will not only regret it, but it will forever change your life. Don't do it.
