The thief on the cross is always trotted out by those who want to discount baptism for salvation. Only one flaw in doing that. You NEVER base a doctrine on one verse of scripture. NEVER. And why did Paul say he wasn't sent to baptise? I have yet to see anyone who quotes that verse to give an...

Yes, they did a morning run to one part of town and an afternoon run to another part of town. I remember the gas lanterns and the guy who lit them in the evening and then put them out in the morning.

The devil plays for Manchester United because it is a devil of a job for other teams to beat them.

When it comes to a monumental disaster like abortion, I dont think there are such things as nuances to be considered. If one goes straight to scripture for guidance it is as plain as day that abortion is off limits for Christians as the commandments say thou shalt not murder. It does not say...

I have the facts from many years studying church history.

What is unitarianism?

I am furiously reading, writing and thinking. Wears me out sometimes. As long as it doesn't send me to an early grave I will be happy. Oh dear, I guess that is not going to happen as I am 79 already. Thank the Lord for the life giving sustanance of steak and chips and the gippy landscape.
