  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator.

You must first define how you are using the word salvation.

But as for seeing the kingdom of God the verse plainly states that a person must be born again. So why do you not believe what the verse states and have to ask questions about it.

And one I do believe what John 3:3 is real BUT its context speaks to Israel and Jesus is speaking to Nicodemus and

Not to Gentiles .

And I n verse 5 , Except a man. be BORN OF WATER. (. how does that happen ). it happens in Eze 36:25. to Israel ,

and of the Spirit , when does that happen and HOW. did it happen in Acts 2:38 he cannot enter the KINGDOM. OF God

so do you want to be in a Kingdom or do you want to PLACED into the Body of Christ as written. in. 1 Cor 12:13-17 as

you part of the Body of Christ and learn how to rightly DIVIDE the word of TRUTH , 2 Tim 2:15 . And Israel refused the

Holy Spirit and. Israel was set aside in. Acts 28:25-28 !!

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.”

That is pretty plain if you read it.

Yes Jesus is talking about Gospel salvation as we also see in Heb 4 "The Gospel was preached to us JUST AS IT WAS to THEM Also" speaking of both NT and OT saints.

And I n verse 5 , Except a man. be BORN OF WATER. (. how does that happen ). it happens in Eze 36:25. to Israel ,

and of the Spirit , when does that happen and HOW. did it happen in Acts 2:38 he cannot enter the KINGDOM. OF God

When Nicodemus asks how these things can be Jesus adds further explanation.

14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.

It is the gospel.

To enter the Body of. Christ , is ONLY by Rom 10:9 and 10 , and your word GOSPEL / EUANGELION. , just means ,GOOD. NEWS

And your verse is speaking to Israel and not to Gentiles , Gal 2:38 , ACTS 28: 25 - 28!!

And why not explain John 3: 5 , just asking. !!

And your verse is speaking to Israel and not to Gentiles



John 3:9 Nicodemus answered and said to Him, “How can these things be? 10 Jesus answered and said to him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not know these things? 11 Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness. 12 If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?​
13 No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven. 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.​
18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.” (NKJV)​

Believing in Jesus brings eternal life, and it is for the world, not just Israel. John included it in his gospel with a view larger than just Israel.


And why not explain John 3: 5 , just asking. !!

When Nicodemus asked how could this be, Jesus kept talking. He did give further explanation.

Many scholars debate that the water baptism in verse 5 equals being born of a woman and born of the spirit is the baptism from above. He equates the two in the next verse. So I believe he is equating being born again as the spirit baptism (regeneration).

That is pretty plain if you read it.

The real question is that, at the time of Jesus 1st coming, how did Israel perceived the meaning of the term "kingdom of God"?

A good explanation is found in Zechariah 8.
