Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you,..........

Thanks DJT. You articulated your position very well and I respect that. FYI.....Many in the early church, during the lives of the Apostles, considered The Didache scripture and it was in the running to be included in our current bible. So for you to call it a "headache" is degrading and...

Hi Grailhunter, Jesus says a man should be joined to his wife, and they will become one flesh (Matt. 19:3-6) and Jesus defines adultery as even looking at another woman lustfully (5:27-28). Paul commands that “each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband” (1 Cor. 7:2)...

I know you didn't say that. The point is that Christening is a new concept created by modern day (within the last 500 years) Christian denominations and it is not based on the teachings of Scripture. It is based on the teachings of men, and you "agree" with this teaching of men. Mary

I respect your opinion and I was surprised by the outcome of the movie. I researched the Conclave process and compared it to the movie....it seemed pretty accurate.

What's hard to believe? That ONE unidentified "cleric" allegedly told a Politico reporter that SOME cardinals have watched it. Or that SOME Cardinals have watched it to learn the process of the Conclave? I watched it and researched the Conclave process. Apparently, it is a very accurate...

Oh goodness. Here is what the article said: “Some have watched it in the cinema,” a cleric involved in the real thing admitted to POLITICO. Soooo ONE unidentified "cleric" allegedly told a Politico reporter that SOME have watched it. What's the purpose of this thread? :IDK: Curious Mary

Hey SL, Infants do not partake of communion and communion (what you call bread) does not remove sin. Hope that clears up your false beliefs on the matter. Mary

Hi Searcher, What verse in the NT tells you to confess your sins directly to God? What do you make of James 5:16, John 20:23 and Acts 19:18? Curious Mary

Grail hunter, Post #199 debunks your version, or the version your men taught you, of our Christian history. Christening is a new concept and was not practiced among NT Christians.

Hey Seeding Loving, I guess if you ignore your own Christian history (tradition) and what Scripture implies on baptism your quip about baptizing a sleeping man would make sense. But it doesn't make sense. And I am not sure why you mention "Catholics" only when some of your Protestant brothers...

Hey Windmill Charge, Who were the church leaders that agreed on the requirements of every book? When did they meet? Curious Mary

Immersion is not the only meaning of baptizo. Sometimes it just means washing up (Luke 11:38, Mark 7:3) so baptizo can mean cleansing or ritual washing as well as immersion. But back to our discussion about the Apostolic Fathers. None of the Apostolic Fathers (Clement, Ignatius and Polycarp)...

Hey DJT, Give me some examples of the teachings from the Apostles that the Apostolic Fathers changed. The Apostolic Fathers are Clement of Rome, Ignatius of Antioch and Polycarp. Maybe @Searcher can help you "search" (pun intended) for that evidence out since they "liked" your theory.

Hey Searcher, Yes, there have been some bad men who were Popes that did not "adhere to the apostles" or adhere to Church teaching. Did the actions (sins) of those bad Popes change or nullify the teachings of The Church? Do the actions/sins of your Protestant church leaders nullify the...

Oh goodness....hlfThe men who spoke to the Apostles and wrote down what they learned from them is all hogwash. THEY were heretics! But any man's writings that YOU agree with, THOSE MEN are not heretics! Even though the Apostolic Fathers could ask the Apostles follow-up questions and yours...

Lol....Ok sooooo what YOU and your men teach haven't "changed what the apostles taught" but the Apostolic Fathers, men who spoke to the Apostles, did change what the Apostles taught? Oh goodness.....:confused I can't take you serious anymore........

Thanks for joining the convo DJT. Yes, it is a theory that the Apostles and their successors didn't decide and or vote on their replacements. Paul to Timothy: “What you have heard from me before many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also” That means Timothy...

Ummmm.....They, the students of the Apostles, weren't "the cousin of the uncle of the brother of the friend of one of the apostles".......Such a silly statement. I can see you are not serious. When you say that you "choose to follow the scriptures" what you are really saying is that you have...

Lol......Let me see if I have your theory correct: The men who were taught by the Apostles were NOT following the actual Scriptures when they wrote their interpretations? I should ignore them and only follow MY interpretation of Scripture? Is that what you a suggesting?
