[/size] We are not saying murderers go free. But as has been stated before, is it really justice that someone can take a priceless life as in the cases we have talked about and then supposedly 'pay' for the crimes in sixty years in a comfortable jail? NO! Not all the treasures of this world are...

They are telling the story of Jesus! Who is Jesus? The MESSIAH! Nowhere does it say that Peter was advocating the Law! Rather, he stated in verse 18 that the things that the prophets had prophesied had been FULFILLED! In Acts 2:38, Peter is not preaching the Law! He is preaching Grace! He is...

Really? What if the people have spent their lives studying the Bible? I think there is great benefit in learning as much as we can about the Bible rather than simply relying on our own ability to comprehend the message, even if we have a close relationship with the Holy Spirit. Of course, it...

Where did the words of Jesus get lost in our mind when he said to the disciples to go and baptise in the NAME of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost?! Has a new dispensation started and I am not aware of it?! I can't think any excuses more blatant than those made by 'Christians.' Just because Jesus...

God help us! You obviously are totally set in your ways. Fine, believe whatever you want about that verse. Pull it out of context. I never said that I had the word baptism, I don't intend to rewrite it or re-interpret it! Obviously you think 'water' refers to being born by your mother! You still...

There is no Scriptural base: I think however, that if we think common sense, which seems to be lacking, that it would be obvious that this sanctification can only continue until that child becomes responsible for his/her own salvation. This is completely off-topic. If you want, start another...

I have not been disrespectful. I have NOT had an answer, however, to all those Scriptures that I put up concerning baptism. If we really want to make a point over John 3, fine, because I see no obstacles. Sure, baptism is not included in the text, but please, let's think here, how ELSE are we...

He never gives up. If only we could be that determined!

Why don't you stop getting defensive, and consider what is being said? Perhaps then you will learn more! Don't get me wrong, I do the exact same thing at times. You can't always be right. Accept it and move on. If there are Scriptural contradictions in your doctrine, guess who's going to be...

I have never heard of it. You said its more exciting. Yeah, true, but there are times when I wish I could slink off into some backwoods and just stay out of it. That, however, is not the calling on my life. True, Satan has no power, BUT WE ARE STILL IN A BATTLE FOR OUR SOULS! This is what...

Until they are of understanding I would think.

Really? Well let's actually look at the whole Bible, not just one Scripture that has been completely put out of context! You want Scriptures, I can give them! Jesus commanded his apostles to baptise: Luk 24:47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all...

I realised that! lol. Your sentence was phrased a little bit tricky. True to what you stated. I believe that there is somewhere that refers to all those laws, and how you can keep it if you want, but it is the heart that really matters.

1Co 7:14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.

Alright, I've just spent 15 minutes reading and I've formed two conclusions. One, richardburger is stating that Jesus and the 12 didn't abolish the law, but Paul did. I read nowhere in Scripture of that. I couldn't be bothered even messing this such warped thinking when it has already been...

Loving perfectly might be possible in the ideal, but does it actually happen? NO! We are living in a world of two kingdoms, and as long as there are two kingdoms we will NEVER be able to have peace. Jesus showed love, uncomprehendable love, when he died on the cross, but I can assure you that...

True love demands judgement. If you want to believe that Christianity is all about love, fine. The problem is, it isn't. Christianity is a war. A war of two sides, a war that has been waged since the beginning of time on a scale that has never been compared. I have not failed to recognise the...

Right on spot.

While Peter and Paul phrased what they said differently, they both believed the same thing. If we follow on in chapter sixteen, we find that they are baptised. Act 16:33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway. I can't...
