John 3:5 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 [physically] of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born [spiritually] of the Spirit is spirit.
I want to make something ABSOLUTELY clear, I am NOT 'open minded'! I am a follower of Christ, which is by definition the very opposite of open minded.
To be 'open minded' is to believe that there are no absolute truths. It is to say that 1,000 different opinions are all of equal, and important, value. To be open minded is to have no true belief in anything, no faith, no promise, no hope, no God.
To be a Christian is to accept that Jesus Christ is the son of the one true God, who came to Earth to save us from sin ( no, not to make you feel good about who you already are). He knew that sin is so wretched that those who revel in it deserve DEATH and He loved us enough to take our much deserved punishment.
Honestly, I hesitate to even use the word 'sin' anymore simply because it has been so watered down that you might as well say 'mistake' or unavoidable imperfection'. Sin is no such thing! It is the choice to go against Gods plan, rule, command and design. Sin is flagitious, vile, evil, distorted, destructive, deceitful, destroyer of man, insidious. To the 'open minded' there is no such thing as sin and therefore no need for a savior.
Hebrews 10:26For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,
27but a terrifying expectation of judgment and THE FURY OF A FIRE WHICH WILL CONSUME THE ADVERSARIES.
Jesus has made it very clear. There is only one God and one way to be at peace with Him. God has designed us to be 'like' Christ. We are to believe what His word says as absolute truth and reject ALL other claims of a path to righteousness.
The liberal, anti- Christian will spout words of 'love', 'peace' and 'harmony'. It is their way of trying to make anyone that knows the Word of God to be true to seem as ignorant; the same lie Satan has been spreading since his conversation with Eve. The liberal 'open minded' person will even pick out peices of scripture and attempt to use it to twist it to fit their foolish ideas of 'personal belief' i.e. godhood. It would be funny to watch if it weren't so blasphemous. It makes even less sense than me trying to teach a native of France what being French really means because I read a book about it! Unless you have been born again into the kingdom of God the Bible can only make a limited amount of sense to you. You are trying to make it fit into your predetermined and very limited frame of reference, rather than from the view of a holy God. It is the Spirit of the Living God that opens the eyes of His children to the depth of Gods word. "But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned" (1st Corinthians 2:14).
The opinion of a human being means nothing unless it is based on the opinion that God's opinion is all that matters. We must read His word, hear HIS voice and not be ashamed to tell the world that HE is absolutely right.
Choose who you will serve, God in Christ Jesus, or the great deceiver, Lucifer. There is NO other choice.
Romans 3:23
“All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus,whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed; for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. .
Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.—Galatians 5:19-21
Matthew7:13"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.14But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."
Romans 16:17 Now I urge you, brethren to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them.

2 Timothy 3:5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.

Romans 6:23
“The wages of sin is death.”
Romans 5:6,8
“At just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ (Jesus) died for the ungodly....God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
Colossians 1: 13-14
“He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.”
1 Corinthians 15: 3,4
“For what I (Paul) received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures.”
John 17:3
“Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.”
1 John 5:12
“He who has the Son (Jesus) has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.”
John 1:1-4
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men.”
John 14:6
“Jesus said, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’”
2 Corinthians 4:4
“The god of this age (Satan) has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.”
I John 2:4) 4 One who says, “I know him,” and doesn’t keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth isn’t in him.
John 3:17"For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.
18"He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19"This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.
20"For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.
21"But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God."
