De vraag is nu: Klopt dit? Is het onder het nieuwe verbond ueberhaupt mogelijk dat mensen door de aardse natuurlijke geboorte (uit vruchtwater) uit een vleselijke man-vrouw relatie binnen een christelik gezin Gods Nieuwe verbond binnen gaan?
I don't want to use the literal translation "amniotic fluid" here because the text is meant for anyone to understand and I want to include the water - amniotic water wouldn't work.

from the waters of the womb
In the context of birth and rupture of membranes, amniotic fluid is often called "the waters". On the other hand, "born from the waters" may not be specific enough, or seems to point to a spiritual element, whereas your text just refers to the opposite, the "flesh" part of human birth.
The "waters of the womb" may be a way to work around this.
Regarding "born from the waters", there is an interesting book, "The New Creation" by Herbert McCabe, which is partly available as a G-book and discusses the symbolism of birth from the waters in various cultures and belief systems (http://tiny.cc/b5a0ox).

: Sounds right to me; rather poetic instead of a bald, scientific term.

: It seems this can be used for just physical birth. So this would be a nice solution.

Discussion
Ik denk dat de schrijver 'vruchtwater' invoegt in verwijzing naar het volgende, maar dat weet ik niet zeker:
Water en Geest = Geestelijk Water.
De natuurlijke mens wordt eerst geboren uit vruchtwater.
De mens moet daarna uit een ander soort “water”, namelijk uit Gods Woord geboren worden.

Water births have become a popular trend among expectant-mums. This is unsurprising since it comes with a number of benefits for both mother and baby. However, this type of delivery also comes with a few risks.
Advantages
•The transition from the environment in your womb to the outside world may be easier for your baby since he or she emerges from the waters of the womb into the water of the birthing pool.

The Christian view of the New Covenant is a new relationship between God and humans mediated by Jesus which necessarily includes all people, both Jews and Gentiles, upon sincere declaration that one believes in Jesus Christ as Lord and God..
