And yet Vatican Hill isn't one of them

Jerusalem ALSO has Seven Hills:
Mount Scopus
Mount Olivet
Mount of Corruption
Mount Ophel
The original Mount Zion
The New Mount Zion
The hill on which the Antonia Fortress was built


Do your homework . . .


You keep avoiding the question. Here it is again...

One has a glorious future, and the other has a candle out and comes to destruction with God remembering her iniquities.

Which do you suppose is which?

God Bless!

Rather you come to the Father through the Son and His death and resurrection.
He is the Door, the rest is man's efforts trying to save themselves.
Salvation 101.
37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?

38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.




....save yourself. Obey Acts 2:38.

I knew you could not define what a burial with Christ is.

The RCC thinks burial with Christ is sprinkled with Christ.

Too bad Christ was not sprinkled, huh?
It has nothing to do with being "buried with water", Einstein.
It's about being buried to the flesh and to the power of sin.

They bathed in wells?

Was there a lower/lift system for the 500,000 inhabitants of Jerusalem?

Please elaborate on this ancient amazing RCC find
Who said they bathed in wells??
I pity your kids . . .

Question.
Cities are built with access to bath water.
Why was Jerusalem built and became largely populated for several thousand years without any bath water available?
Shouldn't it have been called, "stinky city"?

Lets see....


38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.


3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?

4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.


Wrong, it is about being baptized in water, per Acts 2:38.

What’s wrong with you? It’s like I’m talking to a wall.

I never said that there were no baths in the city. Go back and R*E*A*D the posts – if you can . . .

Once again – you don’t seem to be able to pay attention.

I said that being “buried” with Christ has nothing to do with being “buried” with water. Being Baptized is being buried to the flesh and to the power of sin because you are now in Christ.

YOU are confused because of the word “bury”, which has nothing to do with full immersion.
Baptism by pouring, as prescribed in The Didache (Teachings of the Twelve Apostles) is also being “buried” with Christ.

STUDY God’s Word – don’t just quote it . . .

Buried with Christ by baptism per the verse does not mean baptism?

Does it mean shovel or backhoe?

Yes, it’s about the EFFECTS of Baptism.

Yup.
However, the logistics of 3000 dirty, dusty travelers stewing in a murky vat of filthy water is ridiculous.

The 3000 Baptized at Pentecost were Baptized by pouring, as prescribed by the 1st century document, The Didache (Teachings of the Twelve Apostles).

Use your head . . .

True, when 500,000 inhabitants get a daily bath, there is no chance that 3,000 can get one.

That explains corpses in the RCC graveyard in my town sticking out of the ground with only their heads buried.

No, quote it. Stop studying extra Biblical commentary.

You're not a student of history, are you?

Bathing daily is a 20th century phenomenon. In past centuries, people went days and even weeks without bathing.

Do your homework before posting.
I'm embarrassed for you.

That's an idiotic thing to say.

Study
God's Word AND the history therein - before you quote it . . .
