Moreover, since spiritual truth can only be spiritually discerned, then there is no way that kosta50 can follow your rationale...John 3:3...1 Cor 2:14...

So, let me ask you, padre, if a Muslim quotes from the Koran, does that make it true? If he says only Muslims can know the truth because the Koran says so, is that a fact? What makes you different from him? You are proving your own belief with a book which you choose to believe is true. In other words, it's "true" because you say it is.

My tagline shows part of the Mithral prayer, not because I subscribe to it, but because it reflects the same beliefs Christians claim. Mithraism, I am sure you know, preceded Christianity.

And, btw, John 3:3 is a contentious verse. It neither says "born again" nor could it have been said in Aramaic.

I am not disagreeing, but for the unlearned what does John 3:3 really say?

Kosta, it isn’t a philosophical debate. It isn’t about “logic”; it’s about revelation.

The scripture is a roadmap and not a debating manual.

Happy Hunting.
