  • 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. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

We are born anew of God in Holy Baptism, as the Lord Himself teaches in John 3:5, and as St. Paul says in Titus 3:5. The Apostle also says in Ephesians 5:26 that Christ has cleansed us by the washing of water with the word. Having been born anew we have become a new creation in Christ the old has gone and the new has come (2 Corinthians 5:17), even as the Apostle writes in Romans 6, that we were buried with Christ in Baptism, and have been baptized into His death, and if we have died with Him then we share in His resurrection life, and are to regard ourselves dead to sin and alive to God (Romans 6:3-11). Thus we should walk in our baptism, in the new life we have in Christ, through the Spirit who lives in us who we have received (Acts 2:38), confident that there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1) as we look forward to the resurrection of the body and our hope of the renewal of all creation (Romans 8:11, 18-25).

Hello,

Good points with your video. According to Jewish theology, there were eight ways to become born again, six of which Nicodemus qualified for. I recommend this article on it:

Your only born of God through love, and that's how your born again.
1 John chapter 4 verse 7
Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
