Discuss John 3 Page 88

Dear Brethren, It is nice and blessing to visit your website. I am Majida from Pakistan (a Christian believer). I do translation of Biblical documents and I request you to have the Urdu translation of whole of your material. I can translate it in low rates and can distribute in my local churches. In Jesus, Majida.

John 3:5 Jesus 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. Based on the research I have done, born of water means Jesus, He is the living waters. Of the Spirit is when you come to believe have the faith, the trust and accept, that Jesus is truly the Son of God, who came down from heaven, from the Father, to pay for our sins, who suffered, was crucified, died, and on the third day was risen back to life. Jesus is the only way to eternal life, that He is the bread of life, and the Savior of the world. When you come to this stage, the Holy Spirit comes to live in you and your heart becomes circumcised and all you pretty much want to do is to please and obey God, and your resistance to sin is stronger. Mind you need to keep eating the bread of life which again is Jesus. In order to stay healthy and alive, you need water to wash with, and you also need water to drink and food to eat. To gain eternal life it is the same thing, but it is not water and food from this world, it is Jesus. You are baptized through Jesus, the living water, and you need to get the bread of life, again Jesus.

For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16

Please take the scriptures at his word. See Matthew 9:5-6 and Luke 23:43 "today" simply means that, that is when the statement was made, that day. Paradise also includes the Garden of Eden, (earthly restoration of the kingdom) Jesus is a spirit being; (born out of the spirit, is “spirit". John 3:6 after a spiritual church is complete, the earth, and the "thief" will be resurrected to a physical condition; understand and repent and be nourished to a perfect physical condition! No limited "physical" church can accomplish this! It has been tried, see 1Corinthians15:50 "kingdom", equals the government.. Revelation 22:1; 22:17.

Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. It rains on the just and the unjust. One is not a child of GOD until after faith has been placed in Christ being the only begotten Son of God. The wind listeth, meaning its movement. This moving of the Spirit is not under order or control of men. The Spirit moves as the wind effects objects for God's intended purpose, but men have a will to either yield to that purpose or withstand it. Men hear the sound of the wind as it bristles through the trees. Just as men are trees and the Spirit of God working in men's lives we see and hear the results yet not knowing the when and where the Spirit is going to move upon a person. We don't see the wind working but only by the results of it blowing. Jesus told us his words are spirit. This idea correlates to the effects of the wind. It is His words which affected the hearts of men. Either in receiving His words or those same words rejected infuriated those religious leaders. His words always stirring the soul and directing towards belief, just as the wind blows in many directions, yet when the Spirit moves it is in a specific direction with purpose. Jesus spoke to a people familiar with sailing. A variable wind isn't reliable and indicates a storm approaching. Storms in life often bring confusion and contrary winds of adversity, yet again when the Spirit moves it is intended to fill the sails allowing the ship to move in the right direction and reach the intended shore making it to the other side. The Spirit does not always move pleasantly, and Satan's imitation of the Spirit brings adversity in the midst of storms, yet we by faith can see that the stormy winds are either for our chastisement or God proving us and to us He has control and turns that evil purpose of Satan's adverse winds into good. We have Eurocledon, truly a wind meant to destroy ships and drown sailors in the sea, but we see direction and purpose turn that wind into good for Paul and all aboard. We see Jesus walking on the water rebuking the winds of adversity and bringing calm in our lives as children of God. Hurricane Sandy brought great destruction to the North East of United States. I would have to say this example is one where mankind will come together to help each other and rebuild and repair the damage caused by Sandy. People will have work where they had no work. Great stories of survival and rescue will be told. Those who give God the deserved glory will have effect on the hearers to either place faith in God or in humanity; one receiving God, the other receiving humanity and missing the purpose of God. John 3:8 is Jesus giving analogy comparing the wind and The Holy Ghost. We only skim the surface of all the meaning found in the word of God as found in the King James Bible. Some would dare to limit and make lifeless God's word and thus provide a private interpretation. The word of God is to excite the mind, cause deep reflection into its meaning and affect our hearts to bring us into the will of God beginning first at salvation. The word of God is alive and not trapped in the confines of intellectualism and dogmatic interpretations, but will always be found in perfect harmony just as it is found right in the King James Bible. It brings life to the hearers and refreshing just as the wind can and does.

@Peter,
That is sense based reasoning, with unperfected mind.
In the eyes of God there is no boredom.
God bless you.

Everlasting life sounds good at first, but don't you think you'd get bored after 15 million years or so ?

@ Aggie,
1 John 3:12 states ‘’Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.’’ This simply mean Cain’s heart was basically wicked and the problem with his sacrifice was just an expression of his wicked heart.
And you and I know that God looks at the heart, and makes no exception of person ( Deuteronomy 10 :17, Acts 10 :34-35).
God bless you.

There are so many scriptural references that teach the transformational process of these mortal bodies, like 1 Corinthians 15, Hebrews 2:14-15, 1 John 3:8, 2 Timothy 1:9-10, Hosea 13:14, John 8:51-52, John 11:24-27, 1 Peter 1:22-25 and there are many more that YAHUWAH has revealed to my heart concerning the restoration of all things that teaches we are coming to the fullness of the true teachings of MeoshiYAch that He destroyed the death process in the physical body to grant true immortality in all of your physical body. The message of the gospel was all about immortality to your whole being not just a spiritual aspect, hallow the first and second Adam which are the two keys in the immortal Name of YAHUWAH. The message YAHUWAH is bringing is the fullness of the death, burial, and resurrection of His blessed Son YAHUW-shua which shall be taught into all the world as a witness of the eternal reign of the kingdom of shamaYAim and the end shall truly come, for the last enemy to be put under the feet of MeoshiYAch is death. Therefore the final message or the last trump upon the earth will be the wisdom of the fullness of love and life that is free from all forms of fear in YAHUW-shua who was raised from the dead by the power of the immortal breath of YAHUWAH, hallo RUWach QadUWsh, immortal soul of YAHUWAH breathed forth that was put upon all the true followers of MoeshiYAch known as the YAHUWans or the taught ones of YAHUW-shua the blessed Son of the immortal Creator of all creation. There are much greater revelation insights that RUWach is bringing to us at the Tree of Life that would be to lengthy in this format that have vast scriptural proofs concerning the issue of physical immortality restored through MeoshiYAch that have been omitted in all of the modern day translations that are in the original scrolls of the prophets and the true followers of MeoshiYAch that the RUWach is unveiling to us in our fellowship at the Tree of Life. YAHUWAH is our immortal Father and YAHUW-shua is our blessed Deliverance from all death and is our authority to the Tree of Life.

Many people thought that Born Again is another kind of belief and/or religion, Sect, this words should be clarified to those non believer.

This is the meaning of love.

Read Frenz's Comment on Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 10:9-10, 13, Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23, John 3:3 Acts 4:12, Acts 16:16-40 (v31).

This Chapter shows that God the Almighty has mankind in mind always. It also shows that there is hope for mankind and that God the Creator has not abandoned human race. The chapter also shows how God our Heavenly Father place value on human race by sending His only begotten son to come and die for us, so that we can be reconciled to Him in fellowship and live eternally.

@Peter,
Of course Jesus could bring John the Baptist to life if he wanted to.
But there was no need, because John the Baptist’s mission was already ended, he himself declared in John 3:30 ‘’ He (Jesus Christ) must increase, but I (John the Baptist) must decrease’’. And the lowest John went is to the grave.
God bless you.

What a comforting scripture! It's love from God to man through His son Jesus.

I love, you can really bring conviction to a Catholic, Pentecostal or Muslim and show them that God is not impressed by repetition of words, mantras, and even gibbets, and even with this wonderful verse so many are confused on the issue, may Jesus work in your life John 3:30 - HE must Increase, And I Must Decrease , .......THE ELVENTH HOUR IS AT HAND

I like this verse because Jesus died for me, and not only that he gave me hope when he was raised from the dead which none else ever did, he also gave me salvation.

JOHN 3:16 is the HEART of the WORD of GOD. Once SAVED, Always Saved! Salvation is a gift from God NOT A REWARD ...By grace are ye saved

I love this chapter because I beleieve in Jesus. John 3:16 love this verse 16

Can you imagine having a very close friend for years and not know their name. The scriptures urge us ( James 4:8) Draw close to God and he will draw close to you. He even assures his worshipers:"I, Jehovah your God, am grasping your right hand, the one saying to you, 'Do not be afraid. I myself will help you."-- Isaiah 41:13. Scriptures say there are many "gods" and many lords", there is actually to us one God the Father out of whom all things are and we for him, and there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things are, and we through him. At 2 Corinthians 4:4 it says the god of this world blinds the minds of the unbelievers that they might not see the good news of God and the Christ who is the image of God, might not shine through. So the god blinding the minds is who 'Satan', he is also mentioned at 1 John 5:19, which says "We know we originate with God , but the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one" so when you pray to God the Almighty, use his name Jehovah and you will be noticed by him and you too can draw close to the only true God, and gain everlasting life which only he can give you. " John 3:16".

If one turns to Christ Jesus for strength and refuge total healing, He is willing to...Jesus is able to remove your load of Sin and give you his load of bearing his name/his love/obedience to the world and there is great joy in that...it starts by one being filled with the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues as an evidence that you are filled with the Holy Spirit...Christ paid the price already.. John 3:1-8, Mark 16:15-19

I love that structure of the Bible as true words, so thank God for sending His only begotten son to die for our sins. IN JESUS NAME AMEN!

John 3:1-8 Jesus tells Nicodemus that he must be born of water and the spirit otherwise he will not see the kingdom of God even from afar off! So we come to Acts 2 - Repent, be baptized and you SHALL receive the Holy Spirit! Unfortunately most churches, nominal and even most Pentecostal, do not accept that speaking in tongues is the only sign that you have received the Holy Spirit! Jesus wouldn't make that statement to Nicodemus about the need to be born again without there being some tangible evidence of that event - He wouldn't leave us floundering as to whether or not we are born again - hence the accompanying sign should be! In Acts 10: Cornelius prayed often and gave alms to the poor but was instructed by the angel to go to Joppa where Peter would tell him what he needed to do further - receive the Holy Spirit - and in Acts 11 Peter tells the rest of the apostles that they received the HOLY SPIRIT "as we did at the beginning!"

I'm very happy about this verse because it says who ever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life. Thank you lord for this everlasting life and making us to become sons and daughters of God.

Acts 8:37 corresponds with other portions of scripture in the Bible, both New Testament and Old Testament. Romans 10, John 3:16-18, and Genesis 15:6, among others. I don't see why it isn't in all the versions.

Jesus is the water, the water of LIFE, John 3:5 also reads John 4:14. I think the water and spirit consist in believing on his name, in him Christ, is the saving grace, Christ will save you. Just like the BIBLE says so.

1 John 5:20 We know that the Son of God is come and has given us an understanding that we might know him that is true ....the true God... 1 John 2:3: And hereby we know that we know him if we keep his commandments. 1 John 3:23: And this is his commandment that we believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ. 1 John 4:15: Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him and he in God. 1 John 2:4: He that saith I know him and keepeth not his commandments is a Liar. 1 John 2:22: Who is a Liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ..THE SON OF GOD...then it says the truth is not in him Jesus said I am the way the truth and the life no man comes onto the father but by me ....This is the hope of glory Christ in you....If Christ be not in you you are none of his... 1 John 1:5: But whosoever keepeth his word in him ..Jesus is his Word ...verily is the love of God perfected. 1 John 5:3 For this is the love of God that we keep his commandments......And hereby know we that we are in him. 1 John3:24: And he that keepeth his commandments God dwelleth in him and he in God. 1 John5:20: We know that the Son of God is come and hath given us and understanding that we might know him that is true ......his commandments ...and we are in him that is true even in his Son Jesus Christ this is the true God and Eternal life.

i am not worthy for his love but then again he send Christ jesus our Lord and i will remember it until our Lord get mY life amen i lOve you Lord

for God "SO" loved the world. That is, Iam part of the world who even believed in him an added advantage. THIS IS THE BEST INTERESTING VERSE IN THE BIBLE
