Born Again
In fact, the phrase “born again” more literally means “born from above.” Just as your mother gave physical birth to you, if you want to have eternal life, you need the Holy Spirit to give you a spiritual birth. This is the moment of conversion when you go from being spiritually dead to spiritually alive through Christ.

Translation issue one, "even" or "except"?
So the English version in most Christian homes is teaching as if the earth already existed in a state of "without form and void" when creation begins. A solid answer if we agreed the earth was created tohu va bohu from the beginning. But it wasn't. As I mentioned earlier the Bible is a tightly interwoven fabric. There are elements of support and cross-reference throughout. So I'm going to call out something that contradicts the concept of the earth being created void and without form. After all this is what is commonly taught. Documentation is found in the book of Isaiah chapter 45 in the 18th verse.
Isaiah 45: 18
For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.
Apply the results.
That's just the cake! The icing is that the Hebrew word "vain" as used in the text of Isaiah is the same "tohu" as in Genesis 1: 2. The incorrect translation lets the reader slip past what is said. God himself said he did not create it "tohu". Then what happened? There are no verses that support the earth was created void and with form whereas there are many versus that jump to life if the original words for "havah" and "tohu va bohu" are respected. This one key opens parables and symbolism that men wrestled with for thousands of years, that today's scholars argue over, and today's nations war over. It is also a critical key to unlocking the chains today's people willingly bind themselves with. Grab it. The earth was not created void and without form because it was created to be inhabited and it was inhabited.
Translation issue one, "again" should be "from above".

Well, not every soul. You had a choice to trust the plan of Salvation, or ride with Satan and come here in your spiritual body. How's that possible? Check out the Angels.
