They do that so they can make this verse,

Joh 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

one operation instead of two...

In their modern Catholic bibles they remove 'of the',

Except a man be born of water and Spirit

thus cementing their false doctrine that one must be water baptized to get to heaven even tho there is scripture showing the receiving of the Spirit without water baptism in certain places...

This also proves (for them) that a person receives the Holy Spirit automatically with water baptism, even without repentance...And here then comes baby baptism...

Better understood by me tonight, as just evidenced by post 206. Thank you for the good Spirit-led instruction tonight!

(My response in #206 was also to her use of the lower-case “s” of the word Spirit when referring to the Holy Spirit.)
