This is really an asinine response. If this is "proof" of the efficacy of Sola Scriptura - and it has spawned tens of thousands of perpetually-splintering sects - HOW do you know that YOUR interpretation is correct? If ALL the others are wrong - does that mean that ONLY you and YOUR sect are...

First of all - I simply challenged you to provide a Scriptural refutation of my Scruptural arguments - and you have continually failed. Sedoncly - I haven't called you ANY name - so if you can jusy stop lying and stonewalling - MAYBE we'll get somewhere. You constantly pick fights with me -...

Ummmmm, then why do you keep engaging me in conversation. YOU are the one who addressed me firt on thids thread - and every other thread. And each time, I wihd up having to take you out to the Scriptural and historical woodshed. Look - if you don't have any answers - then don't engage me in...

Suuurrrrre . . . . Let me know when you're ready yo have an intelligent debare. And next time - come prepared.

TRANSLATION: "The Biblical evidence for Water Baptism is too overhelming to debate." Got it.

Scripture IS profitable foe ALL of those things. However, as @Illuminator pointed out - this does NOT support the 16th century invention of sola Scriptura, which asserts that Scripture and Scripture ALONE is our "SOLE" Authority. Scripture doesn't make this clai m about itself - but it DOES...

Sooooo, because YOU failed to articulate a coheaive response to my Scriptural argyment for the efficacy of Water Baptism - MY argument is "lost"?? What color is the sky in your bizarre world? If you can't mount a defense for your position - just admit it and move on. But don't embarrass...

WOW. Your arguments - angr and hateful as they are - USUALLY show at least modicum of Scriptural understanding. This idiotic argument, however, shows absolutelt NONE. Jesus gave His inner circle - the leaders of His Church - supreme earthly Authority over the Church. This has been illustrated...

Sooooo, I take it by your repeated mantra above in RED - that you have ZERO Scriptural evidence to refute the Scriptural evidence I presented, showing that GOD ordained these rituals to convey His grace upon us. As for men NOT being allowed to forgive sins in the person of Christ – READ YOUR...

You've GOT to be kidding - the NAES??? Sooooo - YOU referredthe God-created rituals of Water Baptism (John 3:5, Matt. 28:19, Acts 2:38, 1 Pet. 2:31) and Anointing of the sick (James 2:14) as "man-made rituals" - which I easily debunked by showing you from Scripture that they were instituted by...

It is ABSOLUTELY a prophecy abpout Baptism as it speraks about receiving a NEW SPIRIT.. Your unwillingness to admit to this is embedded inyour total hatred for the Church and nothing else. John 3:5 Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of WATER and the SPIRIT, he...

CORRECTION - YOU stated the following: Water Baptism is the God-ordained MEANSby which we receive the Holy Spirit. I never said it was the CAUSE. And nwither Water Baptism nor Anointing the Sick is a "man-made ritual". They were commanded by GOD Himdself (Matt. 29:19, James 2:14).

And this is the mose comically stuppid of ALL moistranslations regarding this verse. Nicodemus was asking about REBIRTH - not natural birth . . . John 3:3-4 Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is BORN AGAIN he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Nicodemus said to him, “How...

This is a yypical response from a person that does NOT understand that the New Testament lies HIDDEN in the Old Testament - and the Old is REVEALED in the New - if I may borrow a line from St. Augustine. Typr and Fulfillment - STUDY those 2 words . . .

And we receive the Holy Spirit through WATER Baptism . . . Ezek. 36:25-28 I will sprinkle CLEAN WATER upon you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleanness from all your idols I will cleanse you. A new heart I will give you, and A NEW SPIRIT I will put within you; and I will remove from...

The Word of God disagrees with you . . . Acts 2:38-39 And Peter said to them, “Repent and BE BAPTIZED every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF YOUR SINS, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you AND FOR YOUR CHILDREN and for all who...

I'm not the one complaiing about water Baptism, which was instituted BY God - YOU are. Thank you for publicly displaying your complete hypocrisy . . .

It's not "man's" ritual. They were ordained by GOD Himself. Men is simply doing ejat God has commanded. Matt. 28:19-20 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have...

And apparently - YOU can't read, either because I already said that these rituals are not the CAUSE - but simply the God-ordained MEANS by which God accompliches spiritual lhealing. It is men doing these things that GOD commanded. Now - if YOU have a problem with water Baptism or anolinting...

And now you're just lyiung because I have explained - ad nauseam - that the water itself doesn't do ANY more than the MID that cured the Blind Man (John 9:6) or ythe OIL that James said to anoint the sick with (James 5:14). I have explained repeatedly what the Scriptures teach - that these are...
