Jhn 3:1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
Jhn 3:2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
Jhn 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Jhn 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
We may live in a Republic, where we have the free will to select our leaders, but it is God who casts the final vote on your eternal soul. He may choose to elect you into His Kingdom, or into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
After some reflection, I'm not as offended by this man's ignorance as I am saddened. I don't wish eternal Hell upon anybody. Forgive him Father, for he knows not what he does.
