I understand your belief and what you are saying. You have articulated it well and I appreciate your honesty. But honestly, if we don't us water in baptism then are we going AGAINST the teachings of Jesus and the Apostles (scripture)?? What happens to us if we go against what scripture tells...

Hmmmm.....If you wouldn't tell Jesus or the Apostles or the crowd gathered around Jesus when he was baptized that the use of water wasn't necessary then you must believe that water is necessary in baptism??? Mary BTW...Matthew 3:11 has NOTHING to do with the WATER baptism that Jesus...

I am happy....thank you. The cake was good....wish you could have had some but only those that interpret scripture properly get the cake. All in fun....Mary

Your welcome and Thank you. I agree with you. Baptism with water is VERY important and I would not tell Jesus or anyone else the use of water was not NECESSARY. I value what Jesus/Apostles told us to do so there must be some "value" to the use of water. Just because we don't understand it...

Hi, Can you share this “fact” with the rest of us?? Where did you obtain this information?? I know Bill O’reilly is Catholic but he is not at FOX anymore. Curious Mary

Lol....OK I dropped my coin in the fountain. What is “liberal Christianity”?? Thank you in advance.....Mary

Hmmmm.....So when Obama drew a red line in the sand in Syria and Putin crossed it was that humiliating??? When Obama, on an open microphone, whispered to Mededev to relay a message to Putin that he can be more flexible AFTER the next election (because he would be a lame duck president) that...

Hi MJ, Thanks for joining the conversation. You make a very good point and have articulated it well. I can’t find scripture to back up what you stated so could you point me to a verse or two? The 4 questions from post #212 still remain. In a nut shell if you were standing next to Jesus or...

Soooo....If you were standing in the crowd when Jesus was baptized with H20 you would have told the crowd that what Jesus did was a waste of time? He didn’t need to go into the water? Or when the Apostles baptized with H20 you would feel comfortable telling the crowd not to do as Jesus did and...

Hi APAK, I was asking Armadillo that (same) question. I am curious what he/she believes. Mary

Isn’t Sin a deliberate thought, word, deed, or omission contrary to the eternal LAW of God? Mary

Hi, Since Sin is a deliberate thought, word, deed, or omission contrary to the eternal law of God then everyone can sin. Believers and non-believers! Mary

Hi FHII, FINALLY....an answer!! Thank you.:) The BETTER Greek texts have the same word for sin (hamartia) so the NRSV, NIT, RSV, ASV all translate James 5.16 with "sins,". The KJV, which uses "fault," is using a textual tradition, not reflected in the best texts, which has paraptomata...

Silly boy.....You are the one who in post #30 PUBLICALLY corrected someone (I'm not sure who you were talking to) by saying, "James said to confess your faults (not sins)..." YOU are the one who publically corrected someone based on what YOU believe to be true. So please don't suggest that I...

Silly boy.....YOU are the one that said “we are saved only through belief in the death, burial and resurrection....“. Satan and his minions believe in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. NOW you want to say you have to be HUMAN to believe in this AND believe Jesus is their savior...

Thank you BG. Read post #137 Mary

OK....Thank you. Sometimes it is best to run away from a conversation when you are unable to defend your beliefs or statements. Mary

Lol.....If it’s not a major point to you then why did YOU point it out??? It’s not a big deal to me....YOU are the one who first injected FAULT with SIN by quoting the KJV. YOU are the one who has failed to explain why you prefer the KJV over other versions. YOU are the one who seems to be...

I think I see what you are saying. In general the OT teaches that they were to be kind to their enemies (and their animals). But when it came time to create the nation of Israel God was only interested in destroying the enemies of Israel because it was a “time to kill”? Mary

I can’t find any document where the CC teaches that Holy Scripture is above tradition. Can you provide a link??? You avoided my other question. Why do you believe the men of the CC misinterpret scripture but the men of Protestant Churches properly interpret scripture? Curious Mary
