"Can he enter his mother's womb a second time to be born?"Jesus answered "Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit."John 14: 1-3"Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.
