Hamilton Visit with Not-so-Small-Humans

On some of my sister's visits to Montréal, she (as she puts it) steals me for a week. This was one of these occasions. Although I do miss my Mother, and of course Patrick, have that time with my family is so wonderful considering all the years I wasn't even in the same country and was afraid my poor nieces wouldn't recognize me! Now we get to hang out together, I help with homework and watch as they learn their self defence moves at Karate and participate in various errands with my sister. It's always busy but I enjoy being a piece of movable furniture in their lives for a little while, helping where I can and just seeing what my sisters are up to in general. Although I didn't get many pictures from this past week these are the ones I did get.

John 3:5 Jesus answered. "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. (NKJV)

Those who deny that Jesus was talking about water baptism present two conflicting possibilities. 1. That Jesus was referring to amniotic when He mentioned water. and 2. That Jesus was saying that water was referring to the Holy Spirit.

1.Did Jesus really mean that a qualification to enter the kingdom of God was you must be born of amniotic fluid?

2. To say that water is synonymous with the Holy Spirit, then John 3:5 would be translated as such. Unless one is born of the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit he cannot enter the kingdom of God. There is no Bible translation that translates it that way.

John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." (NKJV)

Jesus said you must be born again. Being born of amniotic fluid is being born the first time. It is not being born again. Natural childbirth is not a requirement to enter the kingdom of God.

When Jesus said you must be born of water He clearly meant water baptism.

When Jesus said you must be born of Spirit He certainly meant the Holy Spirit.

Nicodemus was confused about being born again, he was not confused about being born the first time.

Being born of water is a requirement to enter the kingdom of God. That is an undeniable fact.
