Usually this is going to apply to the Bible. They are not talking about infants.....someone that could not talk due to illness. Find this discussion in the Bible. The concept of the universal Church was before Constantine.....as far as an organized Church, that could exist out in the open...

I understand Christian history. You have so many heresies running around. There is not a lot of discussion about infant baptism and it fails common sense. Believing in Christ is a personal choice, Not the choice of your parents. So it is like the people that say baptism is not required or...

This maybe true but just for giggles.....describe what a non-water baptism looks like.

I will disagree on a few point here.....but I am not going to call you a liar....Turd Head. It is a fact that not all agreed with infant Baptism. Tertullian is the earliest to reference to the practice of infant baptism. He advised against it. The Apostolic Tradition’s description of the...

Cyprian of Carthage “[When] they receive also the baptism of the Church . . . then finally can they be fully sanctified and be the sons of God . . . since it is written, ‘Except a man be born again of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God’” (Letters 71[72]:1 [A.D...

The story of Baptism Not addressing the Cessationist branch of Protestantism. Which beliefs vary as to the cessation of miracles after the biblical era….No miracles associated with Baptism, Communion, or God answering prayers, healings, and tongues. Not going to waste my time. The Jews and the...

It is a sin to separate what people think are the Ten Commandments. If you want to be Jew be a Jew. They are accepting applications.

Define council? It is called the first Christian council. Does history normally go as planned? I am not sure if there were enough people there to call it a council. But either way apparently they decided that a judgement needed to be made and a proclamation sent the churches. This was done by...

Thank you.

Good thread! I have read through it, not that I have not missed anything. Good exchange of ideas and personal beliefs on various topics.. But I need to offer some corrections.....I am going to focus on the non-Baptism topics first. Christians never had a Bible....until the 16th century...

I say this with a smile on my face.....humor is important.... Will you please make your point. You got so involved with scriptures that cover various topic, that you actually did not convey your thoughts....lol

There is a little bit of a funny here......but some of it is serious. Some do not understand that there are two religions here.....Judaism and Christianity. That there are two Covenants.....what we call the Old Covenant with God and the New Covenant with God. The Mosaic Law is part of the Old...

Ok, there is a lot of history here.....most of this is do to somebody thinking they knew what God wanted. The Catholics are not responsible for the division, but the Catholics were at fault in general.....because they thought they knew what God wanted and had the authority of God on earth. That...

Glad you are interested in word study.....good start. But you are mixed up on a few things. The Hebrew does not have a word for Hades....think about it....Hades is Greek. And the Jews do not believe in Hades or Hell. You are sighting the word Hell in the Bible.....and you are right....some...

Not saying I am worried about you....but when some thinks they know what Christ is thinking or what Christ hates....that can cause some very bad things.....actually it is the very thing that caused the Catholic Church to go down a very bad path.....in a since playing God. The big mistake is...

In the parable of the Rich man and Lazarus we have some unusual sceneries....as well as some challenges for those that are sola scriptura because it goes against some common beliefs. 1. I have already explained the issues with the words Hades and Hell in the scriptures. Hell cannot be in the...

I don't think I understand your question.

Questions?

Sinners in Zion are terrified; Trembling has seized the godless. “Who among us can live with the consuming fire? Who among us can live with continual burning?” NASB Whatever this scripture is talking about, it is talking about living people in fire. Like I said the Jews do not believe in Hell or...
