Hi Helen. I don't think @Philip James or any Christian would deny that God is greater than water. The questions are why did God initiate the use of water in baptism and must we obey him when he instructs us to do something? Why did God have Moses raise his staff and stretch out his hand over...

Why do you only ask the Holy Spirit to help you be not to be biased "most of the time"? Why not ask all of the time?

o_O

I see.....any one that disagrees with YOUR interpretation is ignorant o_O AND you are infallible....o_O Thank you for your time....

If it is a "fact" then how can I refute it ;) Why is your "fact" that this figure is being employed at odds with other men who teach something different? Is your interpretation of Scripture infallible? Isn't it a "fact" that the entire chapter speaks of water baptism BEFORE and AFTER His...

So says YOU. The earliest historical writings we have from the Christian men who's shoulders you stand on says it does have to do with water baptism. It is your Protestant Reformers that teach otherwise. And your ears have been tickled by them. For you see the entire book refers to water...

You are basing your position on who's interpretation of Scripture? Yours or someone else's?

Ummmmm......I cited the Didache, which is believe to have been written BEFORE some books in Scripture, as an example of what the early Christians practiced as a necessity....water baptism. I cited Scripture to show you that you MUST follow the example of Jesus and the teachings of the...

The "do this or else" is rife in Scripture. Concerning baptism Christ said no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and Spirit. Please see post #709 and decide if YOU are truly following his example on baptism. If you are not following His example you are not...

You should follow Scripture. It is necessary that we follow His and the Apostles example and do what they say: 1 John 2:6: the one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked. 1 Peter 2:21: To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving...

Hi dodgeball......Is being obedient necessary?

Hi, If I didn't cite my source from what did you quote? You quoted from THE SOURCE I CITED.....chapter 7 of the Didache o_O Here is the "necessity in this chapter": And concerning baptism, thus baptize ye: Other translations: And concerning baptism, baptize this way But concerning...

Isn't being obedient NECESSARY?

And you test it against YOUR previous belief which leads you to be corrected at times. Which means your correction could be corrected again in the future. But since you are admittedly fallible you will never know if the correction of your correction is right. ;) Do you EVER take Scripture out...

Hi David, Other Christian men and I have tested against Scripture what you have said. According to us you have failed that test. So who is right? You or those other men. After all, you have already admitted you are fallible. Since the Church is led by fallible men that means we will...

Hi David, Your theory that Scripture interprets Scripture and is plainly understood and all you have to do is read Scripture to ascertain the Truth.....that is until you get corrected later on. ;) If Scritpure is soooooo plainly understood then why have men been arguing about this "plainly...

So you are fallible.....Which means I should not trust anything you say about Scripture. I presume the Holy Spirit is guiding you to your "corrected thinking"? Why didn't the Holy Spirit guide you to the Truth the first time? If your "corrected thinking" is different than what has been...

Thank you David. Your theory is that "the Catholic church brings in ideas contrary to scripture"!! Fair enough!! Who decides what is contrary to Scripture? OR How is it decided what is contrary to Scripture? The Majority rules the day and decides? Patient Mary

It takes man to interpret Scripture. You seem to believe you are the man to properly do that. Since it is clear that you are unable to defend your theory.....I digress.

I thought you knew Scripture? Looks like you got some studying to do.
