text: I presume you don't mean that book, which was written by John of Patmos for the judaizing community that lost the war over the Pauline Church being the harlot.  Christ said that we must be born again.  Not in the sense of getting the right magic spell or rite, but that we might be radicalized into the kingdom of God, yet you are using the same kind of rubrics that Christ condemned when  practiced by the priests and scribes.  Indeed, when those who condemn our modern priests and scribes as Christ did, you condemn them as heresy.  What would you have thought of Christ?
