Blood is no more sinful than water.
One cannot help but notice how tangled the web is woven from mere blood to sinful acts. It is a small wonder that such reasoning leads to bad theology.
No, I've been born from above; it was Nicodemus who misunderstood the Lord and thought he needed to be born again, he mocked the idea talking about returning to one's mother's womb and being born again but the Lord said to him "In all truth I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God without being born from above" and after Nicodemus objected the Lord said "In all truth I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born through water and the Spirit; what is born of human nature is human; what is born of the Spirit is spirit".
Isn't this line of questioning straying rather far from the thread's topic? What does it matter if you believe or do not believe that I am "born again"? Clearly human blood, or any other kind of blood, is not the vector transmitting sin as if it were some kind of infection. And blood is irrelevant to the topic of the thread. "Once saved always saved" isn't about blood lines as if one could inherit salvation or condemnation. Salvation is by grace not by what you inherit, right?
Read 152,154,and 157.
Okay, I read them, in fact I wrote them. Now what in those posts indicates a lack of understanding of the precious blood of the Lord Jesus Christ?
