I think it is very clear that he thinks that it's okay to be baptized with water. My question to you is why do you put people down for recognizing water baptism? Why does it bother you so much that you want them to follow you and be baptize only in the Holy Spirit? A question was asked on...

I would give them shelter rather than making them homeless. It is not my place to judge them. God will be the one to bring judgement on them. Only God can judge. In Christ, Selene

Hello Religusnut, I think that we can all agree that slavery and racial segregation are wrong. Also, the U.S. Constitution recognizes that the rights of the individual outweighs the good of society. In Christ, Selene

Hello Humbleman, Excellent post. :) In Christ, Selene

Hello Religusnut, It is not that way today because in the past, it used to be that housing was denied to people due to the color of their skin or their race. That was during the days of segregation. So, laws were in place banning segregation and protecting minorities from housing...

No, Bud, I back up what I say with biblical scripture. Isn't that what Protestants always do? I thought we were speaking about baptism? Where did circumcision come from? And for your information, circumcision is not a sacrament. My brother, all you did was ignore Acts 10:44-48, where St...

All I can say is....if you are going to ban the homosexuals, the drug addicts, the pedophiles, the theives, the liars, the adulterers, the idolators, etc., your apartment will remain empty and go out of business. Those who are without sin are the only ones who will be in your apartment. So...

Hello Bud, Baptism was started in the New Testament. It started with St. John the Baptist. And yes, this baptism came from God, not from man. This baptism was for both the Jews and the Gentiles. St. John the Baptist baptized the Jews with water, and it was St. Peter who baptized the first...

Hello Aspen, First of all, let me correct what you stated above. I never said that homosexuality is a greater sin than rape. Do not take my words out of context. I was explaining the event in the Bible regarding Lot. I said that it is possible that Lot thinks that having his daughters...

Hello Marksman, I think that a large majority of us are intolerant to some degree. We are called to love our neighbors, but also to love our enemies. There are not many of us who can love our enemies. There are many of us who cannot even pray for our enemies. Many times, we pray for our...

My brother, nowhere in any of my posts did I ever say that Jesus did NOT come down in the flesh. You were the one who stated that His flesh is "different" from you and mine. YOU were the one who used the word "different" when comparing Jesus' flesh with ours. In Christ, Selene

Hello Bud, When God made Adam and Eve, they were human, but they were human without sin. Mary was preserved from original sin because that came from the Apostolic Tradition that was handed down to us 2000 years ago. Mary was just like Adam and Eve BEFORE they sinned; therefore, that makes her...

Water baptism came from God. It never came from man. Anything that comes from God is not considered "works." Jesus asked this question to the Pharisees: Mark 11:30 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men? Answer me. We know the answer to Jesus' question because the Bible...

My brother, Mary came from Adam and Eve. Did you not know that when God first created Adam and Eve, they did not have any sin? Sin is not part of God's plan and was never part of His plan. Sin came about through our own free will. But when God created Adam and Eve, there was no sin in them...

Hello Bud, Actually, it has to be both water and spirit. St. Peter said that water baptism also saves you (1 Peter 3:20-21). Water baptism did not come from man. It came from God (Mark 11:30 and John 1:33). Christ said that one must be born of "water and spirit" to enter the kingdom of...

Hello Bud, Could you show where in my post I said that Jesus did not share the same flesh as you and I? In Christ, Selene

Hello Aspen, I apologize that it took me a while to respond to your post. I have nothing against homosexuals, but I do stand against same-sex unions or same-sex marriages. They already have a right to marry, but they cannot marry someone of the same sex. Having visitations rights to a...

Hello Humbleman, The fact that Jesus was baptized in both water and spirit show that we must also be baptized in both water and spirit because we believe that Jesus is the Way. Since we believe that He is truely the Way, then we should imitate Him in His footsteps. He is the role model and...

Hello Doppleganger, God does not create evil because only "good" comes from Him. Everything He created is always good as shown in Genesis. Because God hates evil, He would never create it. One needs to look at the entire passage in order to understand what the Bible is saying: Isaiah...

Hi Aspen, I never really liked the Jerusalem Bible. The only reason my priest and my catechists told me to use it is because of the wealth of information in the footnotes and references. Personally, I prefer to use the Douay-Rheims. :) In Christ, Selene
