	Elim Sanctuary - Gays & Christianity - Nicodemus the Night Seeker
		So, quietly Nicodemus came not knowing what to expect and calling Jesus, a "teacher from God" to learn of a new law, a new way of obedience so that God can be with him to do great works like Jesus and to have the assurance to be numbered in the kingdom of God.
		Nicodemus was stunned, still carnal in mind, he asked how can one be re-birthed not realising that it is of spiritual birth that is not result of sex or the work in bed between a man and women.
		Nicodemus knew then that one must be born again in the spirit, but how to do it since there are no works that can be done to achieve it.

	8. Christ and Nicodemus (John 3:1-8)
		Nicodemus was a "ruler of the Jews," which means, most probably, that he was a member of the Sanhedrin.
		And like Nicodemus, their representative, the Sanhedrin were devoid of all spiritual discernment, and had no understanding in the things of God.
		Christ ignored Nicodemus’ address, and with startling abruptness said, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." This brings us to the central truth of the passage before us—the teaching of our Lord upon the new birth.

	9. Christ and Nicodemus, Concluded (John 3:9-21)
		How this reveals the natural man! It is true that Nicodemus was an educated man and, doubtless, one of exemplary moral character; but something more than education and morality are needed to understand the things of God.
		It is to be noted that our Lord here employed the same term in interrogating Nicodemus as this ruler of the Jews used at the beginning when addressing Christ, for in the Greek the word for "teacher" in verse 2 is the same as the one rendered "master" in verse 10.
		If, then, Nicodemus believed not God’s Word concerning these earthly things, of what avail would it be for Christ to speak to him of "heavenly things?" We pause to apply this searching principle to ourselves.
