So, your entire point here is that when Jesus was resurrected - he retained the exact SAME corruptible body as before? That He was NOT ressurected in His glorified state? What hope, then, do YOU have for the Resurrection?? This is an essential doctrine of the christian faith. The Bible speaks...

John the Baptist's message?? They were commissioned by Jesus Christ, who is GOD to Baptize ALL nations (Matt. 28:19-20). And how do YOU know the Apostles weren't water Baptized yet? Show me the verse, since you are a Sola Scripturist. This is precisely why you wind up inventing all sorts of...

And you continue to LIE with impunity - even though God commands us NOT to (Exod. 20:16). I have told you no less that TEN times now that it is not water that saves us and that water is simply the MEANS by which we receive the gift of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38) - but YOU continue to perpetuate...

And HOW do we receive the gift of the Holy Spirit?? through BAPTISM . . . Acts 2:38 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. Your lack of faith is astounding . . .

Of COURSE Baptism comes after belief - for ADULTS. The SAME was true for circumcision for those converting to Judaism. You're not gong to read about a baby demanding Baptism without first believing. As I pointed out to your fellow Baptism-denier, @Truther in post #2101 - the Early Church...

Baptismal Regeneration IS salvation because it is the regeneration of our very being by the Holy Spirit. and the forgiveness of our sins. The water is simply the MEANS - but it is necessary. HOWEVER, because we don't adhere to the false, man-made 16th century invention of OSAS and adhere to...

That's NOT what the Bible says, though - IS it? Peter and Paul Baptized the ENTIRE households of Cornelius, the Philippian Jailer and Stephanas. If there were infants and toddlers - and there is NO reason to think there weren't - then YOU have a big problem . . .

Thank you for yet another perfect example of asinine logic. It is precisely BECAUSE we are Pro Life that we Baptize BOTH the mother AND the baby. They are two completely distinct individuals. If YOU were Pro Life - you would have known this, Einstein . . .

Nope - we simply take ALL of Scripture in its proper CONTEXT. You ignore the context of Scripture and that's why you have invented so many false doctrines . . . WRONG. The passages says that they Baptized ENTIRE households - not select members of the "age of consent" from each household. This...

Exactly. In the Early Church, the Lenten season was actually reserved for the catechumens - those preparing to enter the Church. The 40 days mirrored the time that Jesus spent in the desert fasting and prayng. This eventually became the norm for the entire Church. Giving up things is simply...

Actually, only on Ash Wednessay is the only Wednesday during Lent that we abstain from meat.

In other words - you CANT tell me why both Peter and Paul Baptuzed entire households (adults & children) based on the faith of the leaders of those households. Once again - ALL you do is isolate a single verse of Scripture (Acts 2:38) as if it were the ONLY thing authored by the Holy Spirit...

And YOU can kiss everything goodbye if you keep isolating Acts 2:38 as if it were the ONLY thing required oif you . . .

WHY do you keep trying to put limits on God? Why do you use words like "CANNOT" when it comes to the Almighty?? Your lack of faith is pathetic. With God - ALL things are possible (Matt. 19:26). As for your charge of "cannibalism" - this is yet another moronic accusation. We don't eat tissue...

WRONG again, my Scripturally-bankrupt friend. After His Resurrection, Jesus was in His GLORIFIED Body. - He was able to change His apperance so that His closest friends wouldn't recognize Him (Mark 16:9-11, John 20:11-18, Luke 24:13-32). - He was able to enter locked rooms without coming...

It's an idiotic question because that's NOT what we Catholics believe - nor have we ever taught this. As I schooled you in my last post - the washing of (Baptismal) Regeneration is ONLY possible BECAUSE of what Jesus did on the cross. Baptism without His Sacrifice on the cross is called taking...

Why do yo keep repeating this stupid lie when I have corrected you several times now? The Cathloic Church does NOT teach - nor has it ever taught that we are saved BY the water of Baptism. We are saved AT Baptism, yes - but NOT by the water. How many times do I need to repeat this before you...

Why?? It STILL needed to be shed to be the perfect sacrifice. You're not making sense

WRONG again, son. John 3:5 explicitly states: ἐξ ὕδατος καὶ πνεύματος OF Water and Spirit This is why Peter wrote: 1 Pet. 3:18-22 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the...

What an asinine example. Baptism regeneration doesn't deny His sacrifice on the cross. It is ONLY possible BECAUSE of what He did on the cross. It's NO WONDER why you're so confused.
