one bright morning, when we look back on what we now find so difficult, we will wonder why we ever considered it any trouble at all =]
John 3:13
No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, the Son of Man Who is in heaven.
Genesis 17:5
No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you a father of many nations.
perhaps you just don't understand The Answer:
Abram did not change his own name.
see Joshua 5 - they made a hill with what was removed, but physical circumcision is nothing
Matthew 3:15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
Now, how does HIS word say how to be reborn.
now have you made it clear that you don't understand scripture?
Luke 24:27
And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.
Genesis 32:28
And He said,
"Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel"
John 3:4
Nicodemus said to Him,
"How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?"
John 3:12-13
If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?
No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, the Son of Man who is in heaven.
John 3:18
He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already
what does this mean?
what righteousness, specifically?
had Jesus already been born in Matthew 3?
So you think all you have to do is believe? What about what JESUS says in
John 3:5
King James Version
5 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.
Same thing we have to do to fullfull OBEY HIS word, yea JESUS was between 33? and 36 so he was born.
then water baptism did not effect birth - it came afterward - and He is our example
what was God obeying when God asked John to baptize Him?
what happened in the Jordan river at that spot in the testimony of the scripture that had already been given before He came?
what had Christ previously done there?
what did Aaron have to do to be a son of Levi?
what did Aaron have to do to bring an offering before the LORD?
are these the same questions?
new to this Christianity thing?
John 3:36
He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.
