I've search in the internet :
> RE- a prefix, occurring originally in loanwords from Latin, used with > the meaning “**again**” or “again and again” to indicate repetition, or > with the meaning “back” or “backward” to indicate withdrawal or > backward motion: regenerate; refurbish; retype; retrace; revert. I mean, if it's Adam or Eve - it's easier to understand as it's still logical to think that Adam / Eve was generated at the first time of their existence. So, after they sin, the word regenerated make sense ---> for example : God generate Eve again.... or God generate Eve back to her condition before. But what about for other people, who were created under the power of original sin and spiritually dead? Why is it still "REgeneration" for them, according to Calvinism?
