“Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” John 3:4
Jesus was accused of having a demon and not being a rational person and was definitely not understood by the Pharisees. They made many accusations against Him, such as saying He spoke blasphemy and that He was not living by the “right” interpretation of the Old Testament. So, when Nicodemus (a prestigious Pharisee) asked Jesus if a grown person had to re-enter the mother’s womb to be born again, you can imagine the sarcasm, criticism, ridicule, and doubt in his voice. The attitude of Nicodemus could be considered a form of “gaslighting,” demeaning, or belittling.
Jesus flat-out told Nicodemus that he was an unbeliever and ignorant to the Spirit of God, “Jesus answered and said to him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not know these things? Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness.” John 3:10-11
When a person’s mind is focused on the natural realm of the human being, they will never be able to understand the spiritual realm. The teachings of Christ are detested in this world today and Christianity has been cut off. To believe in God through Jesus Christ is all about living more for the Spirit and less for the flesh. However, the thing which forms what a person thinks, feels, does, and speak is not about the Spirit at all, but is all about human physiology and focusing on human rationale over the Divine God. It causes people to serve the creature human being and to discard the Creator God.
Today, humanism is the clothing worn by those who govern and live by the thing which forms thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and speech. It does not comprehend anything beyond human rationale, Humanism “…is an outlook or system of thought attaching prime importance to human rather than divine or supernatural matters. Humanist beliefs stress the potential value and goodness of human beings, emphasize common human needs, and seek solely rational ways of solving human problems.”
The thing which has power over physiology to form thoughts and feelings enables the image of the beast to live and speak through people. As it lives and speaks through people, it is obvious they are filled with focusing on human dignity, respect, and esteem while despising the need for God and His Son Jesus Christ. By what they say and do, they are conformed to their place in life within the “democratic” society. They are conformed to their mark in life as they are groomed to the mark of the beast.
As Jesus sanely stated, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3
…the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
1 Corinthians 2:14
“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:1
