Question is why?

John's writings emphasize spiritual birth, while Paul emphasizes legal adoption according to Roman customs of the day.
Both are true, and aspects of God's salvation. Lee decided that John's writings were more "spiritual," and just another way he could "improve" on "poor, poor, Christianity."
We, however, don't need to choose sides, and can accept both.
