    John 3:5... YES! ANOTHER BAPTISM THREAD!

    Is it? It says that when done with the proper intention and using the Trinitarian formula anyone may baptize in necessity... Hypothetical demonstration.... 2 men in a foxhole being over run by the enemy, neither baptized, but both express a desire to be.. They can baptize each other.

    John 3:5... YES! ANOTHER BAPTISM THREAD!

    Hello Grailhunter, Of course 'the better job' and where this spirit leads to is the complete end to the practice of baptism, and thus no fruit to be born... He takes away every branch in me that does not bear fruit, and everyone that does he prunes so that it bears more fruit. Peace be with...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Hello Nancy, Her sinslessness came by the Grace of God, not so that Jesus can 'inherit' sinlessness from her, but that the ark of the new covenant may be pure. Consider the care in the construction and handling of the ark that bore the word in stone.. Do you think Jesus would take less care...

    Is the Pope as he claims “God on Earth”...

    Didnt read the link did you... "As a remedy for this relativistic mentality, which is becoming ever more common, it is necessary above all to reassert the definitive and complete character of the revelation of Jesus Christ. In fact, it must be firmly believed that, in the mystery of Jesus...

    Is the Pope as he claims “God on Earth”...

    Hello Davy, While itvis true that the Catholic church promotes a peaceful and respectful inter-faith dialogue, Here is official teaching on just what that means for Catholics: Dominus Iesus Peace be with you!

    John 3:5... YES! ANOTHER BAPTISM THREAD!

    You need some more? Well seeing as the thread is about baptism lets start with the Baptist: The one who has the bride is the bridegroom; the best man, 14 who stands and listens for him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom's voice. So this joy of mine has been made complete. It is John the...

    John 3:5... YES! ANOTHER BAPTISM THREAD!

    Beloved, You can try and erect a 'boundry stone' all you like, but there is no barrier, no wall, no fortress than can hold back the love of God. Even now HE calls you to the feast. If Rome is your stumbling block, then come with Alexandria, come with Constantinopal , but come! As for what...

    John 3:5... YES! ANOTHER BAPTISM THREAD!

    Dear Enoch, The Truth does not change. That which was True for our brothers and sisters in 100 AD, 200, 500, 1000... Must still be True today. If we are unwilling to humble ourselves and submit to the correction of our fathers and mothers and brothers and sisters of the last 2000 years, we...

    John 3:5... YES! ANOTHER BAPTISM THREAD!

    Thank you for the compliment. Indeed my teaching is not my own, but that of my brothers and sisters for 2000 years.... You might want to give it an honest hearing... But come now you said: So share your understanding, allow me to give it an honest hearing rather than just saying my catholic...

    John 3:5... YES! ANOTHER BAPTISM THREAD!

    Hi FHII, Baptism is just the begining. In being born into the kingdom she can now enter the wedding chamber and be united with the Groom in the Eucharist. It is here that we are intimately united with Him, and with each other. One Groom, one Bride, the 2 made one flesh.. "For this reason a...

    John 3:5... YES! ANOTHER BAPTISM THREAD!

    How can you 'fully understand the marriage' and not see that Baptism is our nuptial bath? Perhaps you should explain your understanding of the marriage? Peace!

    John 3:5... YES! ANOTHER BAPTISM THREAD!

    Hmm, perhaps you should reread it with the theme of marriage as a lens? The Bible is Jesus' love letters to us.. The old covenant the betrothel, the new the consumation. And what Grace, what mercy! That we gentiles have been welcomed into that union! Peace be with you!
