Then you didn’t read my post. Tertullian advised against Baptism for EVERYBODY prior to marriage because of his harsh pre-Montanist views about sin.

Although I appreciate your attempt to understand the different Liturgical Rites that comprise the Catholic Church – the “Traditionalist churches” you refer to that reject the authority of the Pope are not part of the Catholic Church. These are schismatic groups that have broken off from the...

Here you go: Tertullian on Baptism And so, according to the circumstances and disposition, and even age, of each individual, the delay of baptism is preferable; principally, however, in the case of little children. For why is it necessary— if (baptism itself) is not so necessary — that the...

Good. Does that mean I won't have to hear your sanctimonious judgements anymore? NNNNNice . . .

Your attention deficit rears its ugly head once again. R*E*A*D post 1749 . . .

Nice try. It's ALL there in my posts, but your little denial game continues out of desperation.

Which goes back to the root of your problem: You have a severe attention deficit. I’ve already explained Tertullian’s situation ad nauseam – but for some reason, you just can’t seem to grasp it. I suggest you go back and read S*L*O*W*L*Y . . .

TRANSLATION: "I lied about your comments and have NO proof for my remarks." That's what I thought . . .

Time for a history lesson . . . Ummmmmm, Trent was NOT where the Canon of Scripture was declared. It is where is was officially CLOSED. - The Synod of Rome (382) is where the canon was first formally identified. - It was confirmed at the Synod of Hippo eleven years later (393). - At the...

You're asking me to prove a negative. That is asinine. Prove YOUR position - in its FULL context.

PLEASE go back and read my posts. If you can find ONE post where I condemned a person's soul - as YOU did - I will publically apologize and renounce Catholicism. Conversely, if you can't find one - YOU must apologize for your abomination. Deal?? The fact is that I don't do that - even if YOU do.

I’ve heard just about every other Scriptural acrobatic attempt tp steer this verse away from Baptism – but it simply doesn’t work, given the CONTEXT. Context is ALWAYS the enemy of the Anti-Catholic . . . To fully understand what Christ was saying to Nicodemus – we need to analyze the...

Nope, we have his writings which tell his opinion. We also have the date, which, as I have educated you several times now, was right before his descent into Montanism.

Uhhhh, YES, they were. Even on the brink of professing the Montanist Heresy – Tertullian wasn’t against Infant Baptism. He never wrote a single word against it. He simply recommended waiting. As I stated before – He ALSO recommended waiting for unmarried ADULTS. Pay attention . . .

NOT picking and choosing. Like Origen – Tertullian eventually went into heresy. Their writings prior to this are considered to be orthodox. However – Tertullian’s works on Baptism were written right before he officially professed the heresy of Montanism. As I have educated you twice now –...

Your constant judgment of people’s hearts will only garner you God’s wrath (Matt. 7:2). Only GOD knows the heart (1 Kings 8:39). Your judgement means nothing . . . 1 Cor. 4:3-4 I care very little if I am judged by you or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself. My conscience is...

Which is a Tradition of the Catholic Church. The NT canon YOU adhere to was declared by the Church - not Scripture . . .

That’s right – just keep exalting yourself. God will have not be mocked . . . As for your repeated accusations of my “contradicting” Scripture – you keep saying that – but haven’t produced ONE SHRED of evidence as to how . . .

Like I said - the ONLY advice from Tertullian on not baptizing children wa written right before his official descent into the Montanist Heresy. As is educated you before, the Montanists were against baptizing MOST people. This pretty much nullifies what he wrote. Every other faithful ECF...

Of course not. No evidence is never good enough for an ignorant denier like you. You would deny Christ to His very face . . .
