Gee...even by your version of the Bible, Jesus says that we must be born again. Are you calling Jesus' words nonsensical????
John 3:1-21Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)3 And there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
2 This man came to Jesus by night, and said to him: Rabbi, we know that thou art come a teacher from God; for no man can do these signs which thou dost, unless God be with him.
3 Jesus answered, and said to him: Amen, amen I say to thee, unless a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus saith to him: How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter a second time into his mother's womb, and be born again?
5 Jesus answered: Amen, amen I say to thee, unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh, is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit, is spirit.
7 Wonder not, that I said to thee, you must be born again.
Why do we need born again? We have the living, breathing Christ in the Holy Eucharist. No more is needed. And we have God’s one holy, apostolic and Catholic Church. The Church of saints, martyrs, and stigmatists, and the Church that through Petrine authority assembled the definitive books on the Bible through infallible interpretation. Why do we need anyone else’s interpretation?
Catholics don’t need *born again* even though Jesus said we do.
They have their church they’re trusting in.
Who needs Jesus?
Their loss and they can’t say they weren’t warned.
Those not born again remain dead.. the dead do not know they are dead ...
