The wind blows where it wants to blow. You can hear the sound of it. But you do not know where it comes from, and you do not know where it goes. It is the same way with everyone who is born of the Spirit.
The above are words of Jesus.
What follows are are the words of Patrick Henry on the subject: (from The Life of Patrick Henry of Virginia by A. G. Arnold in 1854) "The rising greatness of our country...is greatly tarnished by the general prevalence of deism, which, with me, is but another name for vice and depravity....I hear it is said by the deists that I am one of their number; and indeed that some good people think I am no Christian. This thought gives me much more pain than the appellation of Tory (being called a traitor), because I think religion of infinitely higher importance than politics....Being a Christian...is a character which I prize far above all this world has or can boast."
"If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you heavenly things?"
There seems to be some mistake here. If the right-to-lifers are correct, life begins at conception. If they are right, Jesus should have said, "Except a man be conceived again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God." On, the other hand, it seems unlikely that Jesus would be confused about His metaphors. Apparently, Jesus believes life begins at birth.
