Jesus said for anyone to 'see' the kingdom of God they must be born from above. Now busy little fingers changed the words from above to 'again', but if you will do a little home work you will find that from above is what Jesus was telling Nicodemus.
Those described in the book of Jude, those that left their estate and refused to be born of woman as was Christ will not 'see' the kingdom of God. They like the devil have already been judged to death.
So every soul that made the choice to be born of woman into the flesh, whether or not the flesh was born has earned that opportunity to 'see' the kingdom of God. Now that does not necessarily mean they will enter the kingdom of God.
And when the last willing soul take that journey into this flesh age, as all who will, will be given that opportunity, then the 'end' will begin.
They were both part of the group known as "teachers of the Law", religious leaders in Jesus' day. Although they disagreed on some major doctrines like the resurrection of the dead, they quite often teamed up on the early Christians. They came together against John the Baptist as told in Matthew 3:7
But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
They also came against Jesus many times as told in Matthew 16:1
The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.
And in Matthew 26 it sounds like they all got together to get him:
3Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
4And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him.
So, NL, I don't see the big deal about Paul being a Pharisee. Why do you?
As i posted earlier you are stuck in the Old Testament where adherence to laws of conduct such as weird hair cuts, grooming standards, male genital mutilation, and dietary requirements are paramount. Christ came to replace these covenants with a New and Everlasting Covenant. Easter, Christmas, and Sunday Worship are to celebrate His birth and resurrection and our Salvation.
For future reference I will respond to you if you ask a legitimate question regarding the Trinitarian Catechism of the Catholic Church or any of its Encyclicals and dogma, but will ignore any lies or provocations.
Some believe that there are two gods some believe that there are three gods. Many who believe in three gods reject the greater part of the Holy Word of G-d. By rejecting the Holy Word of G-d they reject He who is the Holy Word of G-d: Yah'shua There is only one YHvH.

Christmas marks the date of the conception of Christ, regardless of what the Babylonians practiced. I do agree that Easter became the compromise of attracting the numbers by putting the image of Christ over an eons old ‘quick like a bunny’ orgy.
Christ certainly and none of the predestined writers of the Holy Scripture ever gave a hint that Easter was to replace Passover. But oh well I surely do not think that practice will be straightened out until Christ returns with that double edged sword... the WORD of truth.

Ignored for reasons given. Future posts from you will be unread.
Sanctification versus justification. Justified once, but continually sanctified. There is a difference.
Repeating lies don't make them true.
Bump for Monday reading
Are you a Messianic Jew? Just curious, not trying to be confrontational.
Isaiah 1:14 Your new moon and your appointed feasts My soul hateth: they are a trouble unto Me; I am weary to bear them.
The Heavenly Father did not appoint Easter sun rise worship with the ‘quick like a bunny’ orgy mantra. Christ became our Passover, and that means in Him the ‘death’ angel is force to passover us that remember the price that was paid.
Nicely done. But a wasted effort, I am sure.

Christmas actually marks the Nativity, the Feast of the annunciation in Catholicism marks the Conception of Christ

Where in the Holy Word of G-d do you find Pagan Easter , Pagan Christmas or Sunday worship ? I realize the Roman "church took it upon itself at Nicea to reject YHvH and insist on Paganism. I'll as the question again

Yes I have accepted Yah'shua

Read history Read the papers produced at Nicea. Seek YHvH's salvation.

According to Luke the date of the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year of sun light, also coincides with the date of conception. I will go with what Luke says. The birth of Christ would be nearer to the fall equinox.
