I still think that the United States has more influence in world affairs than any other country including Vatican City.

My brother, I've already said that I am baptized with both water and the Holy Spirit. I already said that the Holy Spirit is in me. So, why should I be baptized with the Holy Spirit when I already said that the Holy Spirit is in me?

Eve is not a weaker sex in God's eyes. God is not a sexist. God sees man and woman as equal. He created them equal with the same dignity awarded to human beings. When Adam said, "bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh" he refers Eve as his equal with the same dignity. Eve is not the same as...

Matthew 18:10 "Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven their angels always see the face of My Father who is in heaven.

The Holy Bible says that the reason they built the tower in the first place was to build a name for themselves. That is their pride that God was displeased with. He is not displeased with their unity because He wants unity. Pride is an offense against God. Genesis 11:4 And they said, Go...

I don't see anything in his encyclical for calling a world government. Besides, it's actually the United States government that appears to have more influence in world affairs than Vatican City anyway.

My brother, what makes you think that the Holy Spirit is not in me? I am baptized with both water and the Holy Spirit. :)

I agree that it is a long process for one to be holy. The Holy Spirit in us helps us in this journey of holiness. It would make more sense to be baptized first. Even the Bible showed that God sent St. John the Baptist to baptize first. The Holy Spirit was sent last. In Jesus' baptism, He...

The problem that God saw at the building of the Tower of Babel is not that they are in unity. It was their pride that God did not like. They were building a name for themselves, thinking that they can do without God. God wants us to be united as one with Him.

I am very certain that "being born of water and spirit" means baptism. How can you be "born again" if you are not made holy, sanctified, and cleansed of your sins?

I agree with you that we are to be born again in BOTH water and the Holy Spirit. So you are correct in this. However, you are incorrect to interpret "born of water" as childbirth. Jesus said, one must be born of water and spirit. And then he goes on to correct Nicodemus who misunderstood...

I was baptized in water and the Holy Spirit just like Christ.....and actually yes, we also fast for 40 days. As a matter of fact, where I am from, we even carry a heavy cross and plant it on top of a mountain. Below is a weblink of what my people do on every Good Friday. As you can see, we...

Water baptism came from God. It did not come from any man or any Church...but from God Himself. Jesus was baptised in BOTH Water and Spirit, and Jesus is the role model for us to follow. Afterall, He did say that He is the WAY. What good is being a follower of Christ if one can't even do...

No, that is not what you said. Below is what you stated in your post #55. According to your own post #55, you stated that there is NO water baptism and that it is over and done with. After I showed Scripture in the Bible that the Apostles continued to baptize with water after...

Actually, the Bible says to obey your Church leaders. So, we follow the Bible. Hebrews 13:17 Obey your leaders and submit to them; for they are keeping watch over your souls, as men who will have to give account. Let them do this joyfully, and not sadly, for that would be of no advantage...

Jesus' baptism was the exception AND the rule to follow because Jesus is the WAY, the Truth, and the Life. We follow Christ. We do not follow St. John the Baptist because he only baptized with water. Sacred Scripture shows that those who followed St. John the Baptist needed to receive the...

St. Paul wrote "one baptism." If there were indeed three baptism, he would have written the word "three." Let me ask you this....how many times was Jesus baptize in the Jordan River? Was He not baptized only once with BOTH water and spirit? It seems to me that Jesus' baptism was taking place...

Will be traveling to Chicago, Michigan, and Ohio on June 15th. Will be back on Guam in a month.

No, you don't just marry anyone. You find yourself a good wife.

I"m not changing the subject. I told you that St. Paul clearly stated that there is only one baptism. However, according to you, you implied that because there are three persons in one God, you assume that there are also three baptism rather than one baptism as stated in Ephesians 4:5. So...
