I have gone back to as far as post #142, which means I have checked post #242, #219, #203, #173, #170, #163, #156, #154, #148, #147, #142.
Out of these you have not quoted ONE passage of scripture in support of anything you have been saying or arguing. And you dare make the statement above??????
In post#142, and #147 you clearly state that, because you do not have any verse to support your belief you are using your OWN logic which was to conclude that Mary was right and JESUS was WRONG. And you dare make the statement above????? In post #148 you talk about a Gift of Interpretation of Scripture which doesn't exist at all in Scripture. And you dare make the statement above????? Post #148 I gave you 14 erroneous doctrines of the C church and you have not countered one of them with scripture to support them. And you dare make the statement above????? In Post #156 I answered your question in as much as you said "Thank you"
but you have not answered me about the 2nd Commandment. And you dare make the statement above?????
Who is schooling who?
You accuse Sword of not doing his research when it is clear you don't do any yourself to defend your positions. All your posts are talk, talk, talk and talk is cheap. You need to start producing some evidence or try another forum where people will be less demanding.
You took a verse out of context in the scriptures and you want me to believe you are right on Infant Baptism.
You say my definition of the Greek Word Baptezo is narrow when you say that it means DIP.
Greek #907 Baptizo
- to dip repeatedly, to immerse, to submerge (of vessels sunk)
- to cleanse by dipping or submerging, to wash, to make clean with water, to wash one's self, bathe
- to overwhelm
This word should not be confused with
baptô (911). The clearest example that shows the meaning of baptizo is a text from the Greek poet and physician Nicander, who lived about 200 B.C. It is a recipe for making pickles and is helpful because it uses both words. Nicander says that in order to make a pickle, the vegetable should first be 'dipped' (
baptô) into boiling water and then 'baptised' (
baptizô) in the vinegar solution.
Both verbs concern the immersing of vegetables in a solution. But the first is temporary. The second, the act of baptising the vegetable, produces a permanent change.
βαπτίζω baptízō, bap-tid'-zo; from a derivative of
G911; to
immerse, submerge; to make whelmed (i.e.
fully wet);
used only (in the New Testament) of ceremonial ablution, especially (technically) of the ordinance of Christian baptism:—Baptist, baptize, wash.
You are far from schooling anyone Mary, especially when your arguments come from your new C friend.
