You don’t know much about the Church.

You think that you do?

It belongs to the adversary.

Sure I do. I once knew it all from the Church’s point of view, and then I was born again.

Being born again is in the Gospel is several different forms, not only John 3. The verses about putting new wine into old bottles, or patching an old garment with new cloth, for instance.

Possibly you can’t see it unless you are born again, which makes it impossible except that other verses tell you to ask and you will receive.

It’s essential, and quite traumatic for some when their eyes are opened all at once to God’s sanctifying gift.
