Indeed! And woe to him who betrays his rebirth right. See Judas...
Are you calling the people surveyed a Judas or the Pope?
Being trapped in a religious system one had no choice to be in is not *denying his birthright*.
Jesus came to set us free from bondage.
Our birthright is in Christ who gave those who receive Him, to those who believe on His name, the RIGHT to be called the children of God.
Our birthright is to belong to the family of God, free in Christ, not to be trapped in a works based religious system that kills with the letter of the law.
