A man posted on an internet bulletin board that the prophet Jeremiah was born again. I challenged that thought and was drawn into a real battle royal. This prompted me to give some serious time to restudy the topic of regeneration and/or the lack of in the Old Testament and to expand my previous study into this work.
 
 

During the discussions that ensued there was a great lack of proof texts on the other side, as well as a great lack of answers - the main content was denial of my thoughts with no proof, no Scripture and no logic. Kind of like the "deny it, it will go away" idea.
 
 

I trust that this work will include all three.
