I have two thoughts for popsthebuilder. ============================================================================================== I thank popsthebuilder for sharing his deeply personal experience with us. I suspect he realises that where he is at this particular moment may be just one of...

I thank Lämmchen for the detail she provided in Post #237. (Readers will note that her response did not directly address the question "what precise benefit(s) does a baby receive from God as a result of being baptised, that he or she would have missed out on had they not been baptised". So it...

jsimms in Post #13: It had not been my intention to mix threads as such. I was simply unsure in which thread the “dozens of scriptures” and “forest of verses” and “every NT verse that teaches the life of the soul after physical death” were to be tabled. (Continuing life of the soul after...

jsimms435 in Post #19: “So your claiming that when a person dies they cease to exist and then they are resurrected at the last day, which if they cease to exist then how are they resurrected? Please back up what your saying with scripture. I don't see any evidence that what your saying is true...

It is only sensible that the thread “What Are Some of Your Favorite Saints” be reserved for big guns that have been canonised. :ewink: ============================================================================================== I, coming from a background that does not canonise saints...

Haven’t I heard of St. Elsewhere somewhere? ... :dino:

Those that Jesus referred to as coming before Him, were the false messiahs who sought their own personal gain and aggrandisement. They were in it for what they might be able to get. Jesus was in it for what He had agreed to give.

Post #247 (Lämmchen): So there is a particular age for that particular baby/child beyond which, if they do not "make a confession of faith that confirms what the child already believes concerning the Savior and forgiveness of sins", that once-a-baby is no longer a brother or sister in Christ...

In Post #192 I made a request: In Post #198 Lämmchen replied: I therefore request of Lämmchen, to make it easy for all interested parties, that she either consolidate those thoughts from various locations regarding the baptism of babies, into a new Post, or provide links to the particular...

Some thoughts about thoughts in this thread. Post #24 MennoSota: “Thanks. I'll take a host of translators, working together, over your own personal opinion. But, I appreciate the effort.” Post #28 MennoSota: “I don't take your word as authoritive over all the other translators. When teams of...

popsthebuilder said in Post #94: In Post #100 he offered: ============================================================================================== Well, it would seem that God's Holy Revelation indicates something different. Romans 5:6: For we yet being without strength, in due time...

popsthebuilder in Post #163 correctly stated (regarding the Qu’ran): That is why I stated in Post #162: But I must admit to being a little mystified by his statement (also in that Post): So I request clarification regarding what prompted that comment. If I have been remiss in any way, I...

The initial chapters of Genesis contain summarised statements of accomplishment, not statements of mechanism. ============================================================================================== Day – Hebrew יוֹם (yowm) – Strong’s H3117 – Strong: a day (as the warm hours), whether...

Luke 11:20 (DRC): But if I by the finger of God cast out devils; doubtless the kingdom of God is come upon you. Luke 17:21 (DRC): Neither shall they say: Behold here, or behold there. For lo, the kingdom of God is within you. Luke 11:20 (NASB): But if I cast out demons by the finger of God...

A general thought or two. Moving his son to an environment that should be more supportive and less antagonistic was a good move. However, I suggest that meluckycharms keep a very close watch on the situation. “Normal” kids in whatever environment love picking on other kids that are...

My apologies to popsthebuilder for not getting back to this sooner and with more detailed input. I still have too many balls in the air to do this properly. So I’ll just throw a thought in that I suspect has been expressed much better by others already. (popsthebuilder may be aware that I...
