[Colofornian]

We are cleansed by the word, not the spigot...It's not the washing with water, it's the washing of water, BY THE WORD...It is being compared to the washing of water...It's the type of washing...The washing of water...

The man who was healed of his blindness was cleansed by Jesus' word, not the mud/spittle. BY THE LIVING WORD.

(Yet I still don't see treatises, threads, & posts by people yelling at Jesus for choosing to use a common element like mud/spittle to accomplish that, do I?)

That's pretty much what I said...The water does nothing...It is the Holy Spirit that regenerates...
