Tell it to Peter
1 Pet 1:3
3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
He is referring to the basis or grounds for the application of spiritual life not the MEANS by which one is born again. The Scripture explicitly over and over again defines the MEANS by which we are born again and that is Holy Spirit's power through the creative word - effectual call.
NIV Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
ESV Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
All you are doing is denying clear scripture revelation !
I am not denying the clear scripture revelation! I am denying your interpretation and explanation of the prepositions "by" and "through"! The issue is does the resurrection produce new birth at the time Christ came out of the grave and/or is the resurrection the INSTRUMENTAL MEANS used by God to birth us OR is the resurrection the BASIS and GROUNDS for new life being applied by the Holy Spirit at the point of regeneration. The latter is obviously the truth while the former is irrrational.
