Born again ?

[wincam]

Born again is a widespread latter day Protestant money making/monkey making innovation and addition to the bible and implies that Jesus said Christians must be born again - this is not so - where did this come from and why ? - wincam

John 3

3Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again^b he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

[ayin jade]

John 3 
1 And there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
2 He came to Jesus by night and said to Him, Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God; for noman can do these miracles which you do unless God is with him.
3 Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, Unless a man is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus said to 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?
5 Jesus answered, Truly, truly, I say to you, Unless a man is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Do not marvel that I said to you, You must be born again.
8 The Spirit breathes where He desires, and you hear His voice, but you do not know from where He comes, and where He goes; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.

As Logan and Ayin Jade both pointed out: it is in the Bible, In John Chapter 3.

So, let's ask you a question here: why do you keep claiming certain subjects are not in the scriptures when they clearly are? You can always go onto google or biblehub and find not only the reference, but which book, chapter and verse(s) they are in, so it's a bit puzzling to me why you do this. O.o

careless and slipshod reading and interpretations of the bible has and is the cause of division , dissent, divergence, disunity, confusion, chaos and even blasphemy against the HS - Nicodemus was a Jew and most others were not Christians - wincam

no doubt about that - because you keep insisting that they are without really searching and studying the scriptures to see if these things be so - wincam

Jesus said to enter the Kingdom of God, one must be born again.  Jesus did not limit that to Jews trying to enter the kingdom of God, that is your own addition to the Bible.

Sorry, but it hss been shown that being born again is there in the Bible.  It has been shown chapter and verse.   Your claim that it is not there is has been disproven.  To claim otherwise is now nothing but intellectual suicide on your part.

What is your purpose of attacking the Christian faith? As a Catholic, do you not believe that we on this forum are saved? Who is leading you to ask the questions that you are asking as the Chapter and verses that are being given to you are also in the Catholic Bible? Is it a priest? How long have you be a catholic? Because these are the questions that a new or unchurched Catholic would ask. Please answer my questions.

You must be resurrected, born of the spirit. Flesh and blood cannot enter the Kingdom of God
