Dear KBCid, Looks like we are still in agreement: What was considered scripture and what was not considered scripture was debated by many people at many times. It was debated because they couldn't rely on "scripture alone" to decide what is scripture. You left out the debates at the Council...

Hi twinc, Your theory is that AFTER they (those who never heard of Jesus) die they will be told of Jesus? After death they will be given a chance to repent and believe? You and who else correctly interprets Scripture? IHS...Mary

Hi twinc, If you have already stated it, I can't find it. Can you re-state it? Please? Infants and small children have nothing to repent and are not capable of believing. What happens to them when they die? IHS....Mary

Dear Jun2u, I don't see a list of books and I don't see how partially (miss)quoting 2Peter 1:21 answers my question. Are you saying that holy men of God that were moved by the Holy Ghost gave us the books that are to be in our bible? IHS...Mary

Dear KBCid, When were the OT books formalized? Was there a meeting of Church leaders to formalize it? I agree with you. What was considered scripture and what was not considered scripture was debated by many people at many times. It was debated because they couldn't rely on "scripture alone"...

twinc, Your cryptic response does not address the statements I made. Jesus said baptize. He didn't say baptize adults only. He didn't say this will only apply for the next 50 years. If we can only be saved by repenting and believing then what happens to infants when they die? IHS....Mary

Hi, God did speak it and he showed us. Man did tell them us to baptize. Jesus did in the great commission. He spoke it: Make disciples of all nations and baptize them (Matthew). And He showed us when He himself was baptized (Matthew). What more do you want? IHS...Mary

Matthew 28:19 Once again, what did He mean by baptize? Mary

The same one you use. Mary

Hi Grams, Your response does not make sense to me. Jesus said go and baptize AFTER He died on the cross and just before he ascended into heaven. It is known as The Great Commission. So, once again, what did he mean by baptize? Mary

Hi KBCid, Which scripture do you get your "scripture alone" from? The various Orthodox churches who have various numbers of books in their bible. The Catholics who have 73 books or the Protestant who have 66 books? Where in scripture Alone is the list of books? Mary

Hi GG, Paragraph 21 and 22 have the same translation I provided. The link you provided re-affirms my statement. If you look at the end of line 2 of Paragraph 22 the sentence starts with the word "And Mary, having heard..." If you look at Paragraph 21 line 1: "And there was a great...

Hi, I do not undertand your response. Mary

Hi Oz, I don't know if your ignoring my post, #947, or if you just didn't read it. If I remember correctly you have a PhD which shows you are interested in a certain field of study so you spent a long time studying to get that PhD. Many hours and lots of money. Congratulations! I have a...

The wiki link I provided was to show, in general, that there were many "truths" BEFORE the Reformation. All those "truths" were revealed to the person by reading scripture and being guided by the Holy Spirit. Everyone has the Truth AND everyone is being guided by the Holy Spirit but NO ONE has...
