A man taught this nonsense and many rejoice with him!
- Nicodemus was spiritually dead when he came
to see Christ,
- Nicodemus' ignorance of a spiritual truth
is proof of his spiritual deadness.
What has gone wrong with this generation of
Bible readers!

Religious But Lost John 3:1-6
Nicodemus would probably be welcome at any
church today. He seems like an ideal member—principled, knowledgeable, morally
upstanding, courteous, and humble. However, Nicodemus had two big problems
despite all of that outward religious appeal: first, he was blind to the truth,
and second, he was spiritually dead.
The man was lost. That is, he did not have a
relationship with God through Jesus Christ. As a Pharisee, Nicodemus adhered to
strict Jewish codes and laws, so he was certainly religious. But the problem of
the lost person is not attitudes, conduct, or even character. We can change and
control those things through sheer determination, and many folks do. What
people really need is a change of their basic nature. We come into this world
with a natural “bent” away from God.
Jesus explained to the observant rabbi that
all his outward goodness couldn’t erase, replace, or change his nature.
Instead, every person who desires to serve God must be born again. The Lord
promised that if Nicodemus received Him as Savior, then he would enter into a
brand-new life. His old sinful nature would be transformed so that he could
have a real relationship with God. Instead of appearing to be a religious man,
Nicodemus would be a true believer.
No one gets into heaven on the strength of
good works and kind behavior. When we stand before God, the only thing that
will matter is whether our old sin nature has been replaced. We want to show
Him the living Spirit we received when Jesus came into our life.

What a pack of lies is being taught! Are you
discerning enough to point out some of them? Thanks.
Here's the passage referenced: John 3
1 ¶ There was a man of the Pharisees, named
Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said
unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can
do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily,
verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom
of God.
4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be
born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and
be born?
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto
thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, 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.

"The Lord promised that if Nicodemus received Him as Savior, then he would enter into a brand-new life." Wow, the author must have gotten that OUT of the Bible cause it ain't nowhere in mine. That is called "adding to the word."

Verse 2 declared that Nicodemus is
spiritually born again. Uninformed humble scholar about regeneration: Nicodemus!

It is said of Nicodemus: "The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him."
It is said of Nicodemus: "The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him."
Is this a description of a spiritually dead
man?
Is a spiritually dead man capable of
-- doing what Nicodemus did,
-- knowing what Nicodemus knew, and
-- saying what Nicodemus said?
If Nicodemus was indeed a spiritually dead
man, which God did he know and speak of?
Let us hear some answers!

What was Jesus' response to Nicodemus' perception of Him as a teacher come from God, and that His miracles were through the divine power of God (in verse 2)?
What was Jesus' response to Nicodemus' perception of Him as a teacher come from God, and that His miracles were through the divine power of God (in verse 2)?
Did Jesus say Nicodemus was spiritually dead?
Did Jesus say Nicodemus was blind to the truth? Or did Jesus actually explain
why Nicodemus perceived such spiritual truth?
Here is Jesus' response or explanation to
Nicodemus' perception of Him as a teacher come from God and doing those
miracles through divine power: "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a
man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
What is Jesus saying? Nicodemus' perception
of spiritual truth concerning Jesus, his ability to see the kingdom of God is
DUE TO THE FACT that Nicodemus has been born again. Without the new birth, such
is wholly impossible!
Nicodemus' ability to perceive spiritual
truth is because he has been born of God... literally born from above!
His spiritual birth by God through His Spirit
explained why Nicodemus could see/perceive the truth concerning Jesus!!!
Nicodemus is born of God... he is not
spiritually dead.
Nicodemus perceived the truth concerning
Christ... he is not blind to the truth! Yes, he may be ignorant of the truth
concerning the new birth.
Charles Dohring
I agree with Sing. Rom 3:11
says none that ... seeketh after God. So by seeking Jesus Nick was not dead.
Charles Page
He said, "we know"
- implying this was not a single opinion by Nicodemus but a consensus of many of
his friends. The rich young ruler was also born again.
