Was Jesus violent? When he had cause to be. When he cleared the temple forecourt of traders etc he had made a whip and single handed cleared that area. The temple guards the stall holders and money changers, who were all loosing money/property could not stop him. I...

What is it that saves us? Is it faith/trust in Jesus's death and resurrection or the fact that wehavebeen baptised? Are we saved by faith/trust or by what we do?

So why did Nicodemus ask about getting into his mothers womb? If Jesus said 'you must be born from above' His reply makes no sence.

Yes angels are ministering spirits, but by whom are they sent to minister to? It is very poot biblical skills to assume from that verse that we can give orders to angels. I would start looking for a church with better biblical skills.

Who says that Christians believe that they will never die? What evidence do you have for this statement?

I suspect I would use what appeared to be a God given advantage.

If you are not prepared to do something are you qualified to question those that have to do what you question?

And if you were required to bury anyone who applied according to a book of services, written when it was asumed that everyone was a Christian. How woiuld you conduct the service?

Would that were true, I like Paul find all to often the good I want to do I don't do and the evil I don't want to do I do. Baptism shows we are Christian and are seeking to be obedient. Like communion it is a picture that challenges us and strengthens us in our relationship with God.

No coment about a linked video means that video isn't worth watching as the poster can find nothing interesting or challenging to say about it.

Baptism is symbolic only. I was a Christian before I went for baptismn. My going down into the water and coming up out of the water were symbolic of my going down and up out of the grave. If there was something in the water of baptism our congragation would be leaving soaking wet. The...

And he is right, there is nothing magical or spiritual about the water used in baptism. Once the service is over the plug is pulled and it drains away. Did you ask your pastor what he meant by saying he'd baptise people multiply times to get it right?

Romans 1:18, The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God’s...

It is 'Good News' because it tells us how we can be in a right relationship with God. But it also makes crystal clear that there is only one way to get right with God. That means it doesn't matter how nice a person is, if they have ignored the clear evidence that there is a God and have not...

Yes, it is God who saves us, who chose us from before he created the universe, who predesined us to be his Sons, co-heirs with Christ.
