How many times do you plan on going around this carousel??? John 3:3 uses the Greek word "ἄνωθεν (anōthen)" for "born again/from above". we already know that. HOWEVER, to insist someone is "wrong" because they do not agree to your strict use of "from above" for that Greek word only proves your OWN error. How many times in the New Testament IS that Greek word used? I'll tell you - 13 times.

If you are correct then please answer this question which none of your fellow protestants has been able to answer nor even attempted to answer: If Jesus really meant to say born "again" why would he use the ambiguous word Anothon, instead of the word "Palon" which actually unambiguously means again?

First, Jesus probably wasn't speaking to Nicodemus in Greek so it would be John who chose the word and John knew what word he wanted to use and what it meant.

The word anothon may seem to us ambiguous but Jesus reply to Nicodemus may have had more than one level of meaning such that a simple “again” in Greek would not convey.

If we are to say “above” is the best or only proper word to use then “from above” in what sense?
