    If our interpretation of scripture sidesteps common sense, did we get it right?

    It's not just my opinion. If water means something than the whole New Testament does not make any sense because those Scriptures are about the resurrected Christ Jesus.

    Abiding In Christ Necessary for Eternal Life

    Yeah I sadly know you are right again.

    The short answer is it's a figure of speech.

    Abiding In Christ Necessary for Eternal Life

    See... you are not understanding what I'm saying.

    That w That with the greater of the spirit that came the lesser of water was done away with.

    If our interpretation of scripture sidesteps common sense, did we get it right?

    The water taught in our Christian circles is Catholic. Not biblical to the New Testament. Water has nothing to do with what Christians have in Christ.

    Abiding In Christ Necessary for Eternal Life

    I'm on topic. You write in the first post "So, what makes the little children not abide in Christ?" And I'm saying there's a difference between being in Christ and Christ in us. The reason the church today does not abide "in Christ" is because it's not taught. Instead what is taught is we are to...

    Is God sending people straight to hell when they die, today?

    Just stop and think. Use common sense. What does water accomplish other then getting wet?

    No water mentioned in Acts 2:41 Galatians 3:21-22 Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law. But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith...

    If our interpretation of scripture sidesteps common sense, did we get it right?

    Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are not the "New Testament" since God did not put a paper in the Bible between Malachi and Matthew that says New Testament. Men did that... probably Catholics.

    What the heck is wrong with you? Why do you get it and so many others on here don't?

    Is faith, by definition, blind?

    We read in Hebrews 11:1 “Now faith [pistis] is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see” (NIV). The NASB uses slightly different vocabulary but gives the same message which is “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” So the...

    If our interpretation of scripture sidesteps common sense, did we get it right?

    John who was known as the Baptizer, and not a minister for the Church of God. John who was a prophet functioning under the old covenant was appointed by God to prepare and confirm the promises made to Israel. His message was to tell those who lived under the old covenant that the king had come...

    Again, water accomplishes nothing other than to get you wet. The power of God is in the new birth which is the result of the baptism of the spirit of Christ.

    Abiding In Christ Necessary for Eternal Life

    The concept of the original sin was first alluded to in the second century by Irenaeus, (Bishop of Lyon) who was working for the Catholics and not for the apostle Paul. Some two hundred years later another church father who went by the name of Augustine, (Bishop of Hippo) whose writings shaped...

    If our interpretation of scripture sidesteps common sense, did we get it right?

    I already mentioned Acts 8:36 when I said... From the habit of tradition, and only for a short period of time, a small handful of people were baptized with water into the New Testament, but never again afterwards. As they traveled along the road, they came to some water and the eunuch said...

    Abiding In Christ Necessary for Eternal Life

    I looked up every word for sin in the New Testament and then wrote about it and you can see part of it by clicking on the following link. Every single human being that I have told this about tells me I'm totally insane or working for the devil. But when I trace what everyone has been taught...

    Abiding In Christ Necessary for Eternal Life

    The Catholics took the Apostles ministry over pretty early. It did not get big and popular until the second century. But for it to be that big then it must have taken roots much earlier. I read historians writing about holy water as far back as the year 80 or 90. They may have been around...
