Reading/Hearing Scripture is only a start

[Mr GLee]

You think Nicodemus was just trying to be funny with his question? That he really thought Jesus meant "born from above"? That doesn't make any sense irrespective of any dictionaries, Lexicons and Targums.

Besides, Peter apparently thought Jesus said "born again" (1 Peter 1:3, 23)

Thanks I would offer. .

Searching out why Jesus the Son of man prophesied words from the Father lovingly commanding him to marvel not at the greatest possible miracle sets the subject matter

Did the living, loving commandment as words from the Father (marvel not) have a efect on Nicodemus ?

John7:50 Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,) Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?

Nicodemus went from trusting the god of lying signs to wonder after as false prophecy to the true prophecy the living abiding word of God . Like Paul as Saul once followed after the temporal things seen the pagan foundation "out of sight out of mind" or like I am from Missouri seeing is believing . . . not trusting in the eternal things of sola scriptura

Sorry. I can't follow what you are saying.

Sorry. I can't follow what you are saying.

I am no scholar. Sorry did you try. Searching a little deeper as for silver or gold does not destroy the simplicity of the gospel as if God was served by the dying hands a a will under judgment. It just clearifies it the purpose of parable . . the washing of the words of God. . doctrines that fall like rain

Was there a change in Nicodemus (born gain) did he go from seeking after sign to wonder, wonder, wonder. . to trusting the word of God or did he continue to trust the father of lying sign to wonder after. The kind God sends a strong delusion to those who go betong all things written in the law and prophets (solas scriptura)
