In trying to add more protein to my diet in small portions, I decided get some white beans at the store. I forget what they're called in English. We buy kidney beans sometimes but I wanted to try this kind, too.
My MIL had purchased a jar of basil pesto for us, and while I find it overwhelming in large quantities, it seems like a perfect way to add some spice to certain dishes.

Here is what I combined to make this fast, zesty dip. Note substitutions. Sorry that I don't have the measurements but it's a "to taste" kind of dish. Make it as spicy/salty/creamy as you want.
Ingredients:
-can of white beans
-tsp of pesto* (to start)
-tsp lemon
-cottage cheese
-sour cream (for consistency)
*pesto may be substituted with garlic, a little olive oil, and dried basil or a spice mix of your choice
Directions:
-mix everything together until smooth (I have a little immersion blender and all the ingredients were soft enough for it to work)
-adjust flavors to suit your taste
-serve with crackers, crisps, or toasted pita
NICODEMUS WAS CONFUSED BY STEVE FINNELL
ReplyDeleteJohn 3:5 Jesus answered. "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. (NKJV)
Those who deny that Jesus was talking about water baptism present two conflicting possibilities. 1. That Jesus was referring to amniotic when He mentioned water. and 2. That Jesus was saying that water was referring to the Holy Spirit.
1.Did Jesus really mean that a qualification to enter the kingdom of God was you must be born of amniotic fluid?
2. To say that water is synonymous with the Holy Spirit, then John 3:5 would be translated as such. Unless one is born of the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit he cannot enter the kingdom of God. There is no Bible translation that translates it that way.
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." (NKJV)
Jesus said you must be born again. Being born of amniotic fluid is being born the first time. It is not being born again. Natural childbirth is not a requirement to enter the kingdom of God.
When Jesus said you must be born of water He clearly meant water baptism.
When Jesus said you must be born of Spirit He certainly meant the Holy Spirit.
Nicodemus was confused about being born again, he was not confused about being born the first time.
Being born of water is a requirement to enter the kingdom of God. That is an undeniable fact.
