The Shepherd of Hermas, along with many other Books such as the Epistles of Barnabas the the Epistle of Clement were read aloud from pulpits - as Scripture for the first 300 years of the Church. The Canon was not settled until the Synod of Rome in 382 AD. 11 years later, it was confirmed at the...

Baptismal regeneration is part of what Ezekiel is describing - but we weren't discussing that. I would be more than happy to to discuss that AFTER we settle this matter. Once again - The Didache doesn't refer to pouring as "Baptidzo". It DESCRIBES Baptidzo by including pouring. As for the...

The Scriptures don't show the TITLE of the "Trinity", but the doctrine is taught. The Scriptures don't use the TITLE of "Mother of God" - but the doctrine is taught - and I gave you about a DOZEN or so verse as proof. I can't MAKE you believe in God's Word. I can only present it and hope that...

Being "buried" with Christ into death doesn't mean "burial" by water. It's metaphorical language meaning that we are dead and buried to this world and newly created spiritually for the next. As for "sprinkling" - the prophecy about Baptism that we read in Ezek. 36:25-27 states emphatically...

Wrong. I presented several verses of Scriptural proof. Your refusal to believe the Word of God is irrelevant . . .

The, maybe you should pay closer attention when you inject yourself into an existing conversation. Pay attention or get out of the way . . .

Because you have dismissed it simply because it is not inspired. You also claim that the Greek word for Baptism is defined in the NT - when it is absolutely NOT. I guess the best way to settle this is for YOU to show me where it is actually defined in the NT. CAN you do that??

WHO told you that Maccabees is not inspired?? Can you answer that?? Do you KNOW your history? Do you know WHEN when the 7 Deuterocanonical Books were jettisoned from the OPEN Jewish Canon of Scripture?? Do you know WHO made that decision? As for the word "Purgatory" - why do you require the...

The verses. That's what we've been talking about . . .

Uhhhhh, no. Fact remains - I gave you several Scripture verses that support Purgatory - and you have not explained them away. Here's another one: In 2 Macc. 42-46, we see that Judas Maccabeus prays for the men of his army, killed in battle. Verse 44 says, “… for if he were not expecting the...

Uhhhhh, you forget - I presented the Didache to YOU. You never even knew it existed until I told you about it. I already have copies of it - and you have missed the point AGAIN. The Scriptures neither define nor describe Baptism. The Didache actually describes Christian Baptism. It's not a...

Then come back when you're ready to have a grown-up conversation about this.

You'll "post no more" because you have NO response. It's difficult to come to terms with Biblical truth when you've believed in a lie for so long. Don't worry - you'll get there . . .

??? Not sure what you're trying to say here . . .

"Pontifex Maximus" is NOT a title of the Pope. In fact, "Pope" isn't a title either . . . Bishop of Rome. Vicar of Christ. Successor of the Prince of the Apostles. Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church. Primate of Italy. Archbishop and Metropolitan of the Roman Province. Sovereign of the...

The Nestorian Heresy held that Christ was HUMAN and that God merely dwelt IN His him as in a temple. The entire purpose of the Council of Ephesus in 431 was to address this heresy. TWO important doctrines were defined: The "Hypostactic Union": Christ is both Human and Divine and these 2...

You completely missed the point. It doesn't matter that The Didache isn't Scripture. I wasn't comparing it to Scripture. I was showing you it to you as a contemporary document WITH Scripture in its treatment of Baptism. YOU keep ignorantly trying to imply that "Baptism" is defined in...

Just my way of putting a "bow" on the whole thing . . .

You right about the 2 births - but wrong about the 2 Baptisms. there is only ONE Baptism

Why would you ask if I was a Calvinist?? I gave no indication of this. do you even understand what Calvinists believe?? How about sticking to the conversation . . .
