    What Does "Born of Water" Mean?

    By that reckoning, the fluid flowing in the Jordan River wasn't water either. But the Bible calls it water, so that's good enough for me. Amniotic fluid wasn't known by men back then and Jesus was talking to a man so that the man could understand.

    Here's an unsaved (not born of the Spirit) man making a good choice concerning spiritual things: Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, 30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? Acts 16:29-30 (KJV) Here's...

    Gods will vs mans free will

    "Free" is normally an unnecessary adjective. It's a responsive term to some who falsely claim that it's in bondage. It just means the human will.

    Gods will vs mans free will

    Think of it as being perfect, unaltered, and unalterable in its essence at all times. It functions exactly the same pre-fall, post-fall, pre-regeneration, post-regeneration, pre-death, post-death, in heaven, or in hell. I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set...
