Yes. God the Son made a new covenant with all.


And did you read it? or is God a liar? Jesus speaks to the matter of substituting tradition for His Word.

God tore the curtain separating us from God. He said you MUST BE BORN AGAIN, Which means He will put His Spirit in us. And his Spirit is the ONLY way we can understand even a little bit.

The New Covenant is being born again and God having a direct relationship with us, not thru the church. The visible church has a role but without God’s Sprit within us we are deaf and blind.

Now Nicodemas (you do know who he is?)didn’t get it either and he should have known being a religious leader.

So, you want to know what it means to be born again? You will have to ask God and then get your Bible out to let Him speak to you It is one of those questions He is willing to answer. No human being can explain it to you. And no church institution can explain it to you.

Your comment: “The New Covenant is being born again and God having a direct relationship with us, not thru the church. The visible church has a role but without God’s Sprit within us we are deaf and blind.”

Yes, when we are Baptized and accept God the Father, God the Son and the Holy Spirit and reject Satan, then we begin the process of our salvation. Jesus gave us the Catholic Church, the Mass and the Sacraments to help us find the narrow gate in our process of becoming holy so that we can have eternal life with God.

Jesus established a visible church - the Catholic Church and he told us He would be with us until the end of time. Jesus wants us to pray together as a community as the Body of Christ(Catholic Church) through the Holy Spirit as part of our sacrifice to God the Father in the Mass.

You must have missed the words of Jesus:

“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing then in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and behold, I am with you always, too the close of the age.” Mt 28:19-20
