The Bereans verified what they were hearing from PAUL about Christ not "Christians": Acts 17:11 PAUL was their authoritative (verbal) teacher. The Bereans then followed the authoritative VERBAL teachings of the Apostles since there was no Bible (NT) to 'search'.

What Scripture did they search and what were they searching for?

Huh???? The water of the word???? What man taught you that? Scripture doesn't teach that. Here is what Scripture teaches about regeneration thru water baptism: The first creation came from the earth which was covered with WATER and the SPIRIT hovered over the waters and from the water emerged...

Huh??? Sooooo we are NOT required to do what Jesus told us to do (baptize)? He set the example for us to follow by being baptized in WATER but we are NOT required to follow his example??? Who taught you this stuff???????? How can you say, "Baptism was not mentioned"???? Scripture is dripping...

Here is a rhetorical question for you EG: What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? Here is the answer EG: Faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. So PLEASE stop telling me that doing good works makes Christians...

YUP, that's what it says. When one is baptized with WATER it does not remove filth (dirt) from the flesh. Soooo what does it remove? There is a purpose for baptizing with water, of which he showed us to do and told us to do, soooooo what is the purpose of baptizing with water if it does NOTHING...

Please just answer my very direct question: Do you really think baptism is not necessary and (is) a choice?

EG, what you have been taught by your men is confusing. Your men have taught you that our only hope for salvation is Grace. Soooooo why even try to obey Him? If all we need is Grace to obtain salvation, then why try to follow the 10 commandments or baptize or 'do this in remembrance of me'? You...

EG, I apologize for the snide remark. It shouldn't have happened. In regard to your statement that God gave the Jews commands but none of them were required for salvation: What about the ten COMMANDments? If they disobeyed those would they still obtain salvation? It appears that you have been...

Oh goodness.....When Jesus commands us to do something we are REQUIRED to do it. Well, at least us Christians are. I don't know about you and your men. Sooooo when Scripture says that baptism (which is a sacrament) now saves you, that was a lie?

You are right. 1 Peter 3:21 does not equate water to baptism. Peter didn't tell me so. Congratulations

About a month ago I was considering putting you on my ignore list because of these silly word games you play. You would have been the first person I have ever done that to. I decided not to put you on the ignore list because you make me laugh and we all need a good laugh. here is the simple...

See, you were playing dumb with me. You knew all along I was talking about The Catholic Church. You and your dumb game playing. PLEASE just have a normal conversation and stop playing word games. YOU are NOT a member of The Church and you know what I mean when I say THE CHURCH so don't start...

FOR THE LAST TIME: The Eucharist DOES give the one who eats it what Jesus promised. The Church teaches and practices that. YOU AND YOUR MEN DON'T. But that is NOT the ONLY thing we must do. Jeus DID make other conditions. Stop looking at John 6 ONLY and read the entire bible kiddo.

He (Scripture) has MANY requirements/conditions. The Church follows all of them.

EG, Now I see where the men who have taught you have taught you wrong. Trogo is a graphic term meaning “to chew on” or to “gnaw on”—as when an animal is ripping apart its prey. Trogo is the Greek word used in John 6. So Jesus LITERALLY meant eat his flesh. The men Jesus was talking to...

Why do you take communion all the time if it's just symbolic?

I have read John 6 and VS 58 almost literally DOES say "do this and that and all these things and you will not die". But there is more to Scripture, and how to not die (be saved), than just John 6. Why are you so stuck on John 6 as being the proof text on how one obtains eternal salvation...

Jeus said to the men that EG follows I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.” The men that EG follows then disputed among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us...

Yup, you are right. Ordinary H2O has no Spiritual power. Did the act of Moses holding his hands up have spiritual power (Exodus 17:11)? Did a dirt and spit mixture have spiritual power (John 9)? Does oil have spiritual power (James 5, Mark 6)? Did the handkerchiefs or aprons that touched Paul...
