    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    Lol...well first off, I didn't write "the Church". I wrote "The (capital T) Church". 2nd off, it IS The Church because Christ started The Church not a church; a church would be a spin off from The Church with the most common ones being Protestant. I am glad I was able to teach you the...

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    Got it...so your men, who have written extra biblical things, taught you it is ok to change Scripture and add what word you think should go into that saying while baptizing? Fascinating..... According to Matthew, written around 65AD, here is the command on how to baptize: baptizing them in the...

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    According to the extra biblical comments of the Protestant men you read......you are right; you must say that. According to Scripture, you are wrong. :gd

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    Lol...But you write "extra Biblical commentary" all the time on this forum. Also, I am willing to bet that you read extra biblical commentary all the time, but you won't admit it. :coff With that said it appears you are not going to rescind your false statement of which I predicted :woohoo!:

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    Hello Truther, Have you ever read the Didache? Do you know what it is? When it was written? Here is a quote from it: And concerning baptism, baptize this way: Having first said all these things, baptize into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, So, now that you know...

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    All are "baptized in the name of Jesus Christ" when they are baptized with water and the baptizer says, I baptize you in the name of the Father (God/Yahweh), Son, (Jesus, Christ, Lord) and Holy Spirit (aka helper, Holy Ghost).

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    There is not a single line in Scripture that says baptism is a or is required to be a "public Demonstration" for it to be valid.

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    Hey Truther, Scripture says baptize all in the name of the Father, SON and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19). WHO is the SON in that passage? You may have already addressed this in a previous post but there is soooo much back and forth on this subject I may have missed it. Mary

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    Well put RedFan. Thank you. I hadn't thought of it that way. Maybe your statement will help @GodsGrace to understand why The Church has a celibacy discipline for its priests. Mary

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    Hey GG, First off priestly celibacy is not a doctrine, it is a discipline and I told you that in my post. If you want to have an educated, honest discussion with me you should learn what you are talking about before talking about it and read what I wrote. 2nd off I made it very clear that "the...

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    Lol GG.....Yes, please let us set the record straight with facts. In post #754 you said, "It's wrong to ask that priests not marry. There is no mention of this in the NT...." Let's set your broken record straight: The record shows that the men who choose to serve God and his sheep are NOT...

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    Soooo GG are you going to address the fact that your statement was false or are we just going to pretend it didn't happen? You said that it is wrong to ask that priests not marry. The Church doesn't ask priest not to marry/stay celibate, they agree not to get married and stay celibate AND there...

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    Thanks GG.... Based on your response it seems to me you just believe what you want, practice what you want, do what you want when it comes to being a Christian and adhering to the teachings of Christ and the Apostles. Some call it the lone wolf approach to Christianity. If they say they are...

    Reasons why the Jehovah’s Witness religion is false (Despite my love for them as human beings)

    Thanks Keiw, So you really don't know what "long" is? YOU just KNOW that what is portrayed in the art too long. You have nothing to back up your theory. Thanks for your time. Mary

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    Hi GG, According to Jesus whatever The Church binds on earth it is bound in heaven. Due to abuses of some men in The Church and inconsistent practices throughout The Church celibacy/no marriage was made a requirement by The Church if one CHOSE to become a priest. I don't know what Protestant...

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    Hello GG, Well, first off, there are married Catholic priests. 2nd off, the men that choose to be priest are not asked not to marry. When they choose the sacred priestly profession THEY agree not to marry and remain celibate! 3rd off, it is in the NT: 1 Cor 7:7, 1 Cor 7:32–35, Matthew 19:12...

    Reasons why the Jehovah’s Witness religion is false (Despite my love for them as human beings)

    Huh????????? We are talking about your bizarre theory (what your false teachers have taught you) that Jesus hair is depticted as to long in CATHOLIC art and you leaving out the FACT that Protestants portray him the same way because you just want to make it look like it's a CATHOLIC thing because...

    Reasons why the Jehovah’s Witness religion is false (Despite my love for them as human beings)

    Lol....wouldn't the "fact" be, by your own admission, that others do the same? Your main concern is to discredit Catholicism, so you overlooked the facts. Where in Scripture does it give the proper hair length to not bring dishonor? Shoulder length? Hair halfway down back? No longer than the...

    Reasons why the Jehovah’s Witness religion is false (Despite my love for them as human beings)

    QUOTE FROM YOU: Thus in Catholicism pictures of Jesus they show all creation Jesus bringing dishonor to his Fathers name by him having long hair in their pictures-- Show me in that quote where you said others (Protestants) did that! You crack me up.....

    I debunked your theory. What don't you understand about that?
