It amazes me.
I even remember a story where Jesus forgave a person once. He asked if it was easier to say thy sins be forgiven thee or to say arise and walk. I think he was amazed that they could believe he could cause her to talk but couldn't forgive her sins. Just like that I'm amazed that people can believe God can miraculously baptize a dying man and let him speak in tongues without no one knowing but they cannot believe he can just forgive him on his deathbed.

That's not the point. Are you saying that it is possible for God to lie now?
Doesn't the Word say that a man "must" be born of the water and of the Spirit?
If english means anything then "must" is not a "if you want to."
God cannot lie.
