Jesus is the vine YOU are the branch. The vine feeds the branch. if you leave the branch, it will die for lack of food. John 15:5-6 Why do you wish to leave a life of love? Is it asking too much for you?

@Enoch111 said you are not saved !! This is not like him...I'm sorry I've been away and missed all the posts. As far as I've read of YOURS,,,,you've said nothing contrary to scripture. I believe Enoch has misunderstood you.

Are you related to BreadofLife? Yes, I do think so.

I hadn't read this before I wrote to you above. Please don't reply to me. I also don't trust liars and above you list many lies that YOU have stated.

I agree that it's an act of obedience to what Jesus said. I wouldn't do it as a public display of faith. Baptism is real. Something happens when we're baptized. It must be spiritual....it does have something to do with forgiveness of sin..which the Early Fathers believed; and it also has to do...

It doesn't say WHAT anyone would be sorry about.... Rev 21:4 only says that there will be no sorrow. I have to disagree. Men can get others to know...isn't this what witnessing is? Isn't this what teaching our faith is? The problem with steering others the same way is that we don't all come to...

Absolutely. Not only that, but I'd say that science is getting closer and closer to what the O.T. proclaims even though it was written thousands of years ago. The O.T. always proclaimed that God CREATED the universe...it was science that used to say it always existed. Some very prominent...

What difference does it make if men can observe a man's soul being restored? There are many ways a person can notice a Christian...IF this is what you mean. One way is by being nice to everyone. Another way is by going to church...this is a visible sign of one's Christianity. Probably the best...

I agree about the baby being baptized. But, as I've said,,,I'm starting to believe that baptism is more than what we think. Why would Jesus tell us to be baptized if it's only symbolic? I don't think it's symbolic.

I don't have a theology. I follow mainline Christianity which was taught to me by two different churches, and thus, MANY theologians, that DO NOT agree with the reformed faith as YOU believe. YOUR theology did not exist for 1,500 years till YOUR men, that you follow, instead of following the...

Hi PJ, I said that adults should be baptized because it is their choice. I said there is an age of reason when one can understand the things of God. Then I also said that I know why children were baptized in the early church and that I agree with it and that we do not deny God to children. You...

Can't you engage in a serious conversation? Just insults from you. You ARE a calvinist...whatever you want to call yourself is irrelevant...it's what you believe that makes you what you are. Neither you, nor any other calvinist on this forum has EVER replied to my question. It's because you...

Just came upon the above. I heard a priest teaching on indulgences a few days ago. I think the problem is that they're too deep in and cannot say they've taught wrong doctrine....How would anyone ever trust any priest again? But I do agree with you.

Been away, sorry for delay... When a priest absolves the penitent, ALL sins are forgiven,,,even those not confessed. The cc teaches that all sins must be confessed and if one is forgotten it must be confessed as soon as it is remembered. This is true for mortal sins,,,venial sins are forgiven...

I have come to the conclusion that if Jesus said to get baptized... it must surely be more than symbolism. It must surely be more than just showing outwardly that we belong to a community. The symbolism that we die to sin and are alive in Christ (going down into the water and coming back up)...

P.S. Both hands are done...look carefully. must leave.later.

That's the point... What DOES it mean to be baptized? Why did Jesus make such a point of this IF it's only a symbol? Something to think about... I don't have the whole answer either.

they might be fake. Not that there's anything wrong with it. TOO LONG???

Well, this is the idea. There is some mystery here... Maybe the Holy Spirit stays with a child UNTIL that child decides not to follow God. Your longer post is interesting, but must leave for a while. Later.

YES...the nails are MUCH BETTER! The cross is too hidden in my opinion...but not bad.
