Bible education and Dogs of God.

It was God who said, "Let there be light, and it was so," (Gen. 1:3). It was God who created stars (Gen. 1:16) and put them in place by the utterance of His command by the manifestation of His Word. We who follow Him have the ability to recite the same powerful word that God used to bring the universe into existence. Now, I’m not saying that we create galaxies, but we do accomplish great things when we quote the Word of God to people. Think about it. You can actually tell people the very Word of God.

1 Peter 1:23 (KJV)
23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

Not by virtue of any descent from human parents” - Doddridge. The result of such a birth, or of being begotten in this way - for so the word rendered “born again” more properly signifies - is only corruption and decay. We are begotten only to die. There is no permanent, enduring life produced by that. It is in this sense that this is spoken of as, “corruptible seed,” because it results in decay and death. The word here rendered “seed” - σπορά spora- occurs nowhere else in the New Testament.
