Bible Discussion Thread

I believe people misunderstand this verse, enough that a sect was established with it's own morality and political persuasion. Flesh is flesh and spirit is spirit. Without the flesh there is no Salvation. How can you show God your Heart and desire for Him, or can you perform righteous deeds from the grave. Water is a symbol of nourishment in the Bible from The river through Eden, the water in the rock, the wells of Jacob, the waterpots of wine. The flesh is born and nourished from the womb of a Woman. Jesus himself was born of woman but he lived be the Holy Spirit, the spirit of God. One who is devoid of the spirit is lifeless though his heart keeps him alive biologically. To be born of the spirit is to discriminate between the human heart and the holy spirit, our free will and the will of the Father. Rightly divide, understand that Jesus demonstrated that the life of the body and the holy spirit are distinct. The ritual baptism is nothing. Baptism is a real change and not a ceremony. Jesus was full before he was baptized which is why John said that he should be baptized of Jesus. Flesh profits nothing. It flowers and is destroyed entirely. The resurrection, the life is from God, the holy spirit, and his son who lived it on earth.
