    Just heard about the rosary....

    This is a grave misconception of God's kingdom. Since when is a soul "dead" in Heaven???? In other words, if your father is in Heaven, how is he dead???? In our Christian belief, death does not exist in God's kingdom....only eternal life. All spirits in Heaven (including the angels) are...

    A closer look at "baptizo" (to baptize)

    Where in my post did I ever disregard the baptism of the Holy Spiri?. Baptism is actually an immersion of BOTH water and Holy Spirit. It is the same as Jesus' baptism....a baptism of both water and Spirit. There is only one baptism. The baptism we believe in is a baptism of both water and...

    A closer look at "baptizo" (to baptize)

    Christ's baptism at the Jordan River was one - water and spirit. That is the example we follow. Christ said, you must have both water and spirit to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

    A closer look at "baptizo" (to baptize)

    First of all, I did provide scripture. I also don't see you listing those verses. Water baptism was ordered by God. It was never a man-made thing. In fact, Jesus Himself was baptized and He allowed all His disciples to baptize others. And who is the example we should follow? If water...

    A closer look at "baptizo" (to baptize)

    And Jesus was not referring to be born again from the womb. He was referring to a water baptism. He was referring to baptism. Water baptism was ordered by God. It was never a man-made thing. God ordered St. John to do water baptism and God never recinded that order. When a person is...

    A closer look at "baptizo" (to baptize)

    To be born of water and spirit is baptism. What else did Jesus meant when He said you must be born of water and spirit? When a person is baptize with water, he/she receives the Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:38). God ordered St. John to baptize with water, and Jesus who came after him baptized with...

    Who really was Jesus Christ?

    How have I gone through the choo-choo train when it's obvious that you don't believe in the triune God that Christians believe in? This is why the Bible says that having "faith" is very important. God can defy human logic and your attempting to put everything about God and Jesus into human...

    Who really was Jesus Christ?

    if Jesus is not God to you , then who is He to you? If you call him Lord and Savior, don't you know that God said there is no other Savior beside Him (God). I can see that you have trouble believing the Triune or Trinitarian God. What do you think of Apostle Thomas for calling Jesus ,his Lord...

    Who really was Jesus Christ?

    Yes, they are the same because Scripture said the Word came down in the flesh and dwelled among us. Water is still water despite that it can change into ice or water vapor. It still has 1 atom of hydrogen and 2 atoms of oxygen regardless of what form it is. Any scientist can examine the...

    Who really was Jesus Christ?

    Jesus is the Word of God who created everything in the Universe. In Genesis 1, God SAID "Let there be light." And there was Light. HIs WORD is what He said. His Word is Truth. Jesus said that He is the Truth. Whatever God SAID (Word) becomes, such as when He said, "Let there be light."...

    Purgatory

    Purgatory is God's mercy to those Christians who died before they could have the chance to repent of their sins. It's true that we don't live in a perfect world, and you are correct that we sin daily. Accidents happen everyday, and we never know when God will call us home. If a Christian...

    Please stay away from the pope!!!

    There were no written gosepls during Abraham's time. Everything was preached to Abraham. I agree that Abraham did not reject God, and he knew about the coming Messiah. Of course, Jesus (who is God) knew Abraham. Abraham and the Jewish people knew about the Messiah.....they just did not know...

    Is the Holy Spirit a "He," "She," or “It”?

    The word "begotten" is an English translation. The Greek word for "only begotten" is "monogenes," which has two primary definitions. The first definition is "pertaining to being the only one of its kind within a specific relationship." This is the meaning attached to its use in Hebrews 11:17...

    Please stay away from the pope!!!

    Exactly my point. Oral tradition came before written scripture. Moses did not get this directly from Abraham because Abraham was already dead by the time Moses was born. Oral tradition was passed down from one generation to another UNTIL someone decided to write the oral traditions down...

    Please stay away from the pope!!!

    God came FIRST. Abraham did not have any Scripture to guide him. In fact, Abraham didn't even have the Ten Commandments. The Ten Commandments was given to Moses, The New Testament Scripture was not canonized until the 4th century. So, Scripture certainly did not come first. It had always...

    Who really was Jesus Christ?

    The God that Christians worship is a God who knows humility even from experience. He is not just a God who tells us to be humble, but also knows from experience how to be humble. Jesus is God incarnate. The God Christians worship can tell us to be humble because He has humbled Himself into a...

    Please stay away from the pope!!!

    The Holy Bible didn't exist until toward the end of the 4th century. In fact, Abraham didn't have any Scripture to guide Him. No one in the Old Testament knew who Christ was. Therefore, Scripture never came first.

    Is the Holy Spirit a "He," "She," or “It”?

    God the Father is pure spirit just like the Holy Spirit. He does not have any physical form; therefore, He has no gender. In the original language of the Hebrews and Greek, "he", "she", and "it" are the same word. It is also the same in my native language. Chamorro is my native language...

    Is the Holy Spirit a "He," "She," or “It”?

    Are you saying that God is describing Himself as Jerusalem? "As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you." The verse clearly shows that God is comparing Himself to a mother. The analogy, of course, is that God will not forget His children, but notice in that analogy, He compares...

    Is the Holy Spirit a "He," "She," or “It”?

    Instead of personal attacks, why don't you explain why you think God the Father has a gender? And if you say, He is a male because He is called "Father." Then I will show you in the Bible, that God the Father also described Himself as a "mother.or as a woman" So, having said that, it seems...
