John 3 (NKJV)
[SUP]3[/SUP] “Most assuredly, I say to you,
unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
[SUP]5[/SUP] “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit,
he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
[SUP]6[/SUP] That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
John 3 (NLT)
[SUP]3 [/SUP]“I tell you the truth,
unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God.”
[SUP]5 [/SUP]“I assure you, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit.
[SUP]6 [/SUP]Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy Spirit gives birth to spiritual life.
John 3 (TLB)
[SUP]3 [/SUP]“With all the earnestness I possess I tell you this:
Unless you are born again, you can never get into the Kingdom of God.”
[SUP]5 [/SUP]“What I am telling you so earnestly is this:
Unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God.
[SUP]6 [/SUP]Men can only reproduce human life, but the Holy Spirit gives new life from heaven
(From the above) Jesus says:
Everyone in the kingdom of God has been born-again!
Matthew 13 (NLT) • Jesus’ Explanation of His Parable of the Wheat and Weeds
[SUP]37 [/SUP]The Son of Man is the farmer who plants the good seed.
[SUP]38 [/SUP]The field is the world, and the good seed represents the people of the Kingdom.
The weeds are the people who belong to the evil one.
[SUP]39 [/SUP]The enemy who planted the weeds among the wheat is the devil.
The harvest is the end of the world, and the harvesters are the angels.
[SUP]40 [/SUP]Just as the weeds are sorted out and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the world.
[SUP]41 [/SUP]The Son of Man will send his angels, and
they will remove from his Kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil.
[SUP]42 [/SUP]And the angels will throw them into the fiery furnace,
where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
The NASB states the underlined like this:
[SUP]41[/SUP] “they will gather out of His kingdom all stumbling blocks,
and those who commit lawlessness”
The Amplified Bible (2015 edition) states the underlined like this:
[SUP]41[/SUP] “they will gather out of His kingdom all causes of offense
[persons by whom others are drawn into error or sin]
and all who do iniquity and act wickedly”
The Kingdom of God has both Good and Bad seeds planted in it.
Everyone in the kingdom of God has been born-again.
What happens to the 2 types of born-again people in the Kingdom?
v.38 … the good seed represents the people that Jesus planted in the Kingdom
v.39 … the weeds were planted among the wheat by the enemy, the devil
v.40 … the weeds are sorted out and burned in the fire
v.41 … the angels will remove everything (the weeds) that causes sin and all who do evil
v.42 … the angels will throw them (the weeds) into the fiery furnace
