    Mary and the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin

    Part of that is the fault of the Catholic Church (Roman and Eastern) since the cure for "ignorance" is "information" and those with the truth are hoarding it. :) Even if they refuse to listen, you could state the truth (for the silent readers) and refuse to argue about it. Setting aside the...

    Mary and the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin

    :focus: THIS TOPIC IS "Mary and the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin" (so let's try and focus on something related to Mary.) THIS TOPIC IS NOT "BAPTISM" (so let's argue about Baptism in the Baptism topic that already exists).

    Mary and the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin

    Scripture also claims that the son of Mary is God ... [John 10:30 NASB] 30 "I and the Father are one." Scripture also claims that Jesus was the "only begotten" son of God: [Jhn 1:14, 18 NASB] 14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten...

    The undisclosed age of “X”

    I understand. The person whose question I was responding to (MC) had specifically asked about age 1. You and I view the purpose of baptism differently. As a sacrament to admit a person (including a 40 days old, or even an 8 days old) into the New Covenant Family, baptizing infants makes perfect...

    The undisclosed age of “X”

    Careful, you are reading things into that story that it does not claim. There is no baptism by Jesus in that story, nor is there reference to the Holy Spirit. Are you really attempting to claim that Jesus gave those children something (the Holy Spirit) while He was alive that his Disciples had...

    Can you lose your salvation?

    I am pretty sure he was making a joke (and a funny one). :)

    Can you lose your salvation?

    The doctrine of Perseverance of the Saints claims that the people that God has foreknown and predestined and saved, will ultimately reach glorification because they WILL persevere to the end and WILL NOT fall away (Bare with me, I know that you do not want doctrine and I am making an actual...

    Can you lose your salvation?

    20 If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and are overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning. 21 It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to...

    Mary and the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin

    Then why the assumption that a “brother/cousin” would not take care of a “mother/aunt” and the emphasis you placed on Jesus handing that responsibility to a non-relative?

    The undisclosed age of “X”

    Here is an irony, an atheist father and a Catholic mother had me baptized in a Lutheran Church as an infant as a compromise to get my Catholic Grandparents that never attended mass and Methodist Grandparents that attended regularly (every Easter and Christmas without fail) off their backs. The...

    The undisclosed age of “X”

    Whether they are relevant to the topic or not. You are displaying an ignorance of the history of the various non-Paedeobaptist families of Churches. Modern Baptists are not 16th Century Anabaptists that dropped the “Ana”.

    The undisclosed age of “X”

    OK, enough now. Repeating my position over and over has become tedious and you are deliberately ignoring most of what I am saying. For example, the post you bothered to quote that begins “Now for me personally...” goes on to explain what I believe in detail. So if you were sincere in your...

    Mary and the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin

    It is a pity that all of the Greek Scholars that translated the word of God into English from Tindale up to the most modern translation, lacked your insight and mistranslated “brother” when they really meant “cousin”.

    Mary and the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin

    ... but we Baptists don’t have Cathedrals and it would be an unChristian act of vandalism to nail it to a Catholic Cathedral. :(

    The undisclosed age of “X”

    Thank you. I did not want to make assumptions about what you believed, so it was better to confirm it from your own lips. So you believe. I believe that it is not impossible for a 4 year old to believe and to communicate that belief.

    The undisclosed age of “X”

    There is a lot of hard science that shows that the body and brain continues to undergo significant chemical and structural changes until the end of “Puberty”, so while I do not agree with the Mennonites (which is good since I am not a Mennonite), thier position is not without some biological...

    The undisclosed age of “X”

    Perhaps, but why “late teens”? I note that students at the High School my daughter is about to attend are taking College Classes starting as young as age 14. Certainly someone capable of taking a College Course on the New Testament or studying Calculus at College should be “thought capable of...

    The undisclosed age of “X”

    I will probably regret admitting this, since you will use it out of context to claim what I do not mean, but you actually make a semi-valid point here. The Mennonite position is closer to what you claim as “Anti-padeobaptism” than either the Southern Baptist or Church of God positions...

    The undisclosed age of “X”

    Can you show any modern church or denomination (one that actually exists) that restricts baptism based on age, and is that restriction BECAUSE of age alone or is age tied to some other restriction that they see as being Biblical? Why do the Baptists refuse to baptize anyone? I presented the...
