If you want to be on the list, but are not on it already, or if you are on it but do not want to be, let me know either publicly or privately.
Happy Easter. Christ is risen!

"What is Truth?" An Examination of Sola Scriptura
I am posting a reply but Do NOT add me to your ping list.
The author misses the interpretation given in the passage by the Lord Himself. One must go beyond John 3:5 and read all the way to John 3:6 to the interpretation of verse 5. Here they are together:
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. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Born of water is physical birth: born of the flesh. Not washed by Scripture nor sprinkled with “holy water”.
Born of the Spirit is just that: born a new creature in Christ (2 Cor 5:17) by the power of the Holy Spirit, having been dead in sins (Ephesians 2).
No need to make it seem obscure nor allegorical.
