    For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by men and hating one another; but when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of deeds done by us in...

    Roy Moore candidate for Senate

    I raised this matter in the thread about voting one's moral values and Leigh Corfman and her mother were accused of lying and being hacks for some alleged liberal agenda so the moral values one sees are "protect the Republican party no matter the cost and no matter the cruelty because it is my...

    the meaning of Baptism

    In Catholic baptisms the Holy Spirit is invoked and hands are laid on [the head] of the one baptised. Jesus taught that one must be born of water and Spirit to enter the kingdom of God so the Spirit is always present in baptism. Paul in First Corinthians writes - And indeed, in one Spirit, we...

    the meaning of Baptism

    It's baptism. It isn't double or triple even if some dip three times it is still baptism. One baptism. The only kind of baptism that the holy scriptures know and teach.

    the meaning of Baptism

    Ephesians 4:5 still says "one Lord, one faith, one baptism" doesn't it? Context doesn't make it say "one Lord, one faith, two baptisms". There is one baptism and it is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit and it unites the Christian to Christ in his death and...

    the meaning of Baptism

    I agree. God inspired those who wrote the holy scriptures so that we (the Christian community) might read what God said through the prophets and apostles. Nobody really reads the bible on their own. Firstly because the very concept of "the bible" is a community produced concept and a community...

    the meaning of Baptism

    Of course I let others interpret the holy scriptures. I have neither the power nor the desire to force others to not interpret the holy scriptures. But I do not let others interpret for me. Why would I do that? I pay attention to what others say in the Catholic community. For it was not by...

    the meaning of Baptism

    When first quoted the immediate context was included. Nevertheless the context does not make Ephesians 4:5 say anything different from "one Lord, one faith, one baptism". Ephesians 4:1-16 And so, as a prisoner in the Lord, I beg you to walk in a manner worthy of the vocation to which you have...

    The Catholic Church teaches that no infant can be rightly baptised without at least two things being true - the parent(s) must give consent and at least one parent must be among the faithful in communion with the Catholic Church.

    Baptism means being born from above through water and the Spirit that is what Jesus said. And Paul says Baptism means being united with Christ in his death and resurrection whereby the faithful die to sin and rise to new life in justice (justification). Paul also says that baptism is the washing...

    When you recover from your chuckles take a brief look at this: of the doctrine of baptisms] Perhaps rather, “of ablutions” (Heb 9:10; Mar 7:3-4), both from the use of the plural (which cannot be explained either physically of “triple immersion,” or spiritually of the baptisms of “water...

    the meaning of Baptism

    Paul explained that they'd received John's Baptism not Baptism into Jesus Christ. John's baptism was a Jewish Michva - the highest and last Michva that God gave. Christian baptism is union with Christ and the Spirit. That is why there is one baptism not two or three or several. Just one as...
