Again, my apologies. Thank you for providing the proper link. I am not anti Mary, nor am I making any myths. Well, that's not entirely true. Judas said hail to Jesus before kissing him. The crowd cried Hail King of the Jews before crucifying him. Obviously I don't condone these hails! But...

Thank you for the information. I read the first web site and it seems there are different versions. The one I noted does not include the Apolstolic Creed where the one in the website you provided does. Ok fine. Dually noted... However, my comments stand based on the version I found. And by...

So now we are discussing Mary. My take on it is this... Catholics say they don't worship Mary. Fine. I don't like when people tell me what I worship (though some Catholics do it on this site quite a lot), so I am not about to say they do when they say they don't. However, I see this, and...

Ok. Thank you for the explanation. I may disagree with some of it, but its good to get an explanation.

BOL, just looking for answers and clarification: Once a man enters a seminary with the intent of becoming a priest, is he forbidden to marry upon enrollment? What happens if he changes his mind and decides he wants to marry? Is he shunned or simply told, "Alright brother... I wish you and...

No. I responded to a post by Theefaith. We were discussing infant baptism and Acts 2. That was post 1652. YOU responded to my post to Theefaith (1652). Your response was post 1673. By the way, your post had very little to do with what I was talking about with him. You derailed the...

Mary, if you ever decide you want to discuss scripture let me know. If you want to continue to accuse me of this, that and the other thing... By all means feel free to. I won't be responding any longer.

Thanks for sharing that. While I do believe that much of today's traditions in Christianity do have pagan origins, I am unaware of this one. I don't know of any Christian Church that lies naked under a lattice and have blood sprinkled on them. If they do, that's just creepy! My point was to...

Mary, I didn't give an interpretation: I reiterated what the verse said. If you believe I interpreted it, show me what part I interpreted. The only possible part was the notion of "not putting away the filth of the flesh". If you somehow believe this isn't done by water immersion then tell...

Actually 1 Peter 3:20-21 proves my point when read properly. Noah and his household were saved by water: not baptized in water. They were saved because (unlike everyone else) they were above the water. Furthermore, that was mentioned as an analogy to something else (which is shown when Peter...

So what? Because Martin Luther agrees with it, I should too?

I realize that, and folks who think that water baptism is absolutely necessary can only stutter an answer that is based on their non Biblical inference. I am not one of those people. The thief was baptized into Christ. He probably barely knew him. But he knew enough to acknowledge who he...

My understanding is that baptism is necessary, but it is the baptism (immersion) into Christ. Water baptism is ok. It was done in the Bible and it would be wrong to chastise any Christian who does it. It is equally wrong to chastise a Christian who has not gone through the ritual of water...

Its been a while since I have given my thoughts on this, so here they are. I use the KJV solely. Its the one my Pastor preaches from and the one we as a Church use. We have our reasons, but I won't go into them. We simply feel its the best. While I stick with the KJV, I don't put down...

I have not read the Koran. So when I hear about one passage that seemingly blasts Christians, I tend to be skeptical. I am skeptical because I see how Christians take the Bible out of context, so I imagine Muslims do as well. Its really not something I want to pursue because I tend to want to...

Don't get me started on that "mute" garbage again!

No they didn't... They had works. Jesus even said it was good that they did that, but they omitted judgment, mercy and FAITH.

Wow... Yea my post had nothing to so with this question.

Illuminator, this is a pet peeve of mine, so I can't let it slip by... Calvin didn't the doctrine, and for the record, he didn't invent TULIP either. Its been years since I studied Calvin, and have forgotten much. However I distinctly remember that point. In his book Institutes of...

Its alright... I just don't know if I'm suppose to send out an alert. Or how to...
