Born Again Of The Holy Spirit
The water is the word of God. He came by the word of God and with the word of God. The Word became flesh. His teachings and his doings testify to the truth. -

Born Again Of The Holy Spirit
I think he would have mentioned the virgin Mary if that was the case. But there's plenty of evidence he was speaking figuratively. Right from David where he says 'my soul thirsts for God' and 'as in a dry and weary land where no water is.' to Proverbs 25:25 "Like cold water to a thirsty soul... -

Born Again Of The Holy Spirit
The water is the word of God. The blood is the life he had in himself. Three things witness that he was the Son of God - the Spirit, the water and the life. -

God operating under the two covenants, and idolatry
What prophecy? The LORD said he would destroy the men of Judah and Israel because they had gone back to devil worshipping. Could he be talking about destroying them in the lake of fire? Nevertheless he said he would not pity or spare or have compassion on them, that he should not destroy them... -

God operating under the two covenants, and idolatry
Certainly Jesus talked about hell and who will be cast into the fire. Isn't that pronouncing evil? They sure thought he was talking about them. -

God operating under the two covenants, and idolatry
What old covenant conditions? Circumcision? Sacrifices and burnt offerings and sin offerings? I agree they have been abolished. But Jesus didn't say we should go after other gods. He said keep the commandments ie. “You shall have no other gods before me." Anyways, Jeremiah's prophecy is... -

God operating under the two covenants, and idolatry
And yet the LORD said he would bring evil upon them which they cannot escape; "though they cry to me, I will not listen to them." Jer. 11: 11 This was the word that came to Jeremiah the prophet of the LORD concerning the house of Israel and the house of Judah. Will God save them from the... -

I know it's difficult for this generation, when everything is dumbed down, but linking words with equal signs doesn't work for me. -

God operating under the two covenants, and idolatry
The LORD said he was bringing evil upon them which they cannot escape. 'Which they cannot escape' means he will not listen to them. He will not save them. True or false. Do you think Jesus didn't know what the LORD said? To say Ba'al worshippers can be forgiven or they will be saved is... -

God operating under the two covenants, and idolatry
The worshippers of Ba'al did not call on the name of the LORD. They called on the name of their Ba'al. ie. the Ba'al of Pe'or, Ba'alze'bub the god of Ekron, , Molech. They had many gods. They built altars to Ba'al. They burned their sons and daughters in the fire as burnt offerings to Ba'al... -

God operating under the two covenants, and idolatry
I was never a Ba'al worshipper. Were you? Nevertheless, the word of God says No. The LORD will not listen to them in their time of trouble. Don't even pray for them. -

God operating under the two covenants, and idolatry
Why should God rescue any Ba'al worshippers? The idea is to keep evildoers out of the kingdom. Not save them. -

God operating under the two covenants, and idolatry
The prophecy is the LORD will bring evil upon the house of Judah and the house of Israel and the inhabitants of Jerusalem which they can not escape, and they will cry out in the time of their trouble. So they cry to God only after God brings the evil upon them. Sorry. Too late. 16 The Lord... -

bear fruits worthy of repentance
I think John was talking about godly grief. You say you're sorry. Excuse me. Forgive me. The words come out of the mouth from the heart. That's the fruit worthy of repentance. Paul calls it godly grief. 2 Corinthians 7:9 As it is, I rejoice, not because you were grieved, but because you were... -

God operating under the two covenants, and idolatry
So when Jesus arrived, they did not know him. God hardened their hearts so they could not hear and understand and be saved. Lest they turn to me and be forgiven. Mark 4:12 so that they may indeed see but not perceive, and may indeed hear but not understand; lest they should turn again, and be... -

God operating under the two covenants, and idolatry
The LORD said he was bringing evil upon the house of Judah and the house of Israel and the inhabitants of Jerusalem because they would not listen to his voice and do what he commanded them to do. So what's the significance of Jer. 11:14? They did what the covenant said they should not do. ie... -

Why did God create humans with the freewill to sin only to re-create glorified humans without the ability to sin?
I don't see any conflict. We're talking about two different things. I'm talking about believing Jesus was the Christ, the Son of the living God and I'm saying believing is the work of God. And when a man is born again, according to the teaching of our Lord, the Father and the Son will make their... -

Why did God create humans with the freewill to sin only to re-create glorified humans without the ability to sin?
Did God give us freewill so we can sin? I don't think so. But there's the suggestion that unless you can sin, you're not really free. I would argue that slavery is not freedom. So there won't be any cause of sin in his kingdom. Mt. 13:41 RSV All causes of sin and all evildoers will be gathered...
