Whey is that so hard for them to grasp?
I don't know it's all right there...And it's so simple...I had no trouble reading and understanding when I first read it...But then I didn't have any preconceived notions when I started...

Because it makes no sense? If in this statement water = amniotic fluid, when Jesus said you must be born again of water and the Spirit, he meant you must be born again of amniotic fluid and the Spirit? Um, he then told Nicodemus that he WOULDN’T be born again of amniotic fluid...
What I think you’re implying would be said “born of water and born again of the Spirit” - but that’s not what He said.
