So, you didn't actually READ post #1865 - did you? Otherwise, you wouldn't have responded with this ignorant nonsense . . .

No funnier than Acts 2:39, where Peter, the first Pope stated emphatically: Acts 2:39 For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, EVERYONE whom the Lord our God calls to himself.” Can YOU show me the verse where he said: For the promise is ONLY for you and for...

WRONG, my woefully ignorant friend. YOU forget that Acts 2:38-39 INCLUDES the children - and NOWHERE does it give an insruction of what AGE they need to be in order to be Baptized. 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...

WOW. This shows just how ignorant you are about the very Scriptures you try to weaponize as soe sort of "proof" against Baptism. Let me educate you . . . In 1 Cor. 1:17, Paul isn't speaking out against the importance - and necessity of Baptism. He is trying to quell a growing problem of...

It's a good thing wew have the documents of the Early Church - and I mean the Apostolic Fathers like Ignatius of Antioch, who identifies the Church of the apostles as "The Cathoolic Church" (Letter to the Smyrnaeans, AD 107). This was not some "later invention" as you erroneously and...

The Catholic Church isn't a "denomination". It is the original Tree from which Protestantism splintered and continues to splinter to the tune of tens of thousands of disjointed sects that ALL teach different doctrines yet ALL claim to be "The Church". Paul and the rest of the Apostles belonged...

WRONG - that's not what Paul said. He said: 1 Cor. 1:17 "For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with words of eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power." YOU are the one who added "Water" to this verse because you need to perform...

You don't have to "bend" anything to understand that Paul is referring the the Gnostic heretics in 1 Tim. 4 and not the Catholic Church that he belonged to. After all - they are the ones who considered certain foods, marriage and all material possessions as "evil". This has never been a...

We read verses like Acts 2:38-39, Col. 2:11-12, Gal. 3:27, Tit. 3:4-8, 1 Pet. 3:21 and Matt. 19:13-14. Where did YOU learn that infants and children were kicked out of the Body of Christ?

Like I said before - your idiotic responses never disappoint . . .

And yet NONE of you has been able to dance your way around the fact that Paul, writing under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit describes Baptism as the fulfillment of Circumcision (Gal. 3:27, Col. 2:11-12, Tit. 3:4-8). Ciurcumcision was entry into the Covenant - just a Baptism is entry into...

How does praying and fasting benefit the Body of Christ (2 Sam. 1:12, Esth. 4:16, Luke 2:37, Luke 4:2-4, Acts 13:2-4, Acts 14:23)?? Are you serious - or are you just being puposely obtuse?

Thank you for another idiotic response. You never disappoint . . .

You still don't get it because YOU have assigned all of the roles to the Body of Christ that YOU want there to be - leaving NO room for anybody else. It's not up to YOU to assign WHO does WHAT within the Body of Christ. That's up to the Holy Spirit. People who live an ascetic life don't "hide"...

Wrong. The Circumcision of Christ is Baptism, Einstein (Col. 2:11-12, Tit. 3:4-8, Gal. 3:27).

Sooooo, you didn't actually read what Paul explained about the different ROLES of each member of the Body of Christ in 1 Cor 12:29-31 - did you? If you had- you wouldn't have continued with your argument because the point is moot.

No - as I educated you earlier - water is simply the means of how we are regenerated - NOT the ends. A fork is the means of delivering food to your mouth - but it doesn't nourish you, get it? Tell me, son - what did Jesus mean when He commanded his Apostles to "Baptize" in the name of the...

Careful - your ignorance is showing again . . . The discipline of priestly celibacy is found in the WESTERN Church - not in the Eastern Rites of the Church. As I stated - it is a matter of diccipline - NOT doctrine. Finally - as I educated you earlier - Paul was referring to the Gnostic...

Some of the Eastern Liturgical rites allow a priest to be married. Remember that the Catholic Church is comprised of some twenty Liturgical rites that are ALL in full communion with each other. The Latin or "Roman" Rite is the largect in the West and does not allow for priests to be married...

"Cicumcision of the heart" (Rom. 2:29) and "Circumcision of Christ" (Col. 2:11-12) is how Paul refers to Baptism. If you knew your Bible - which you obviously don't - you'd know that it's a circumcision NOT made with hands (Col. 2:11).
