Born Again part 3

Does anyone remember back to the beginning of the month when I made enquiries about being born again?

There were NO replies. So I must summise that NO one wants to know, or that NO one knows how to be born again.

Do you all really want to go to Hell? Do you all really hate Jesus that much? Do any of you hear Him calling? Is there anyone with a burden to repent?


Genesis 1
1In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

spirit + water

John 3:3-5 (King James Version)
3Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
5Jesus 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.

born again - cannot see the kingdom of God
water + spirit - cannot enter the kingdom of God

9Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.
10Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?
11He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.

John 13:8-10 (King James Version)
8Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.

17Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.

18And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.
