    "They" is better English style.

    The washing of regeneration and renewal in the Holy Spirit

    I believe in one baptism so when a chap is baptised he receives the holy Spirit and water is used.

    They must like it because they do it so much! :smirk: We can all agree about that.

    Now, For Something Completely Different

    Aren't "doctrine" and "teaching" the same thing? The teachings of a church are the doctrines of that church.

    Martin Luther: The Man Who Rediscovered God and Changed the World, by Eric Metaxas

    I'd venture that saint Thomas Aquinas has had a deeper and more enduring influence that Martin Luther.

    The Ministry of the Holy Spirit

    The holy Spirit is involved in baptism and baptism is a part of his ministry. :smirk:

    Born of water and the Spirit.

    At the time that Jesus spoke to Nicodemus Jesus' disciples had been baptising and it is not clear that they baptised with the same intent as John.

    It refers to water :)

    Born of water and the Spirit.

    I think water means water in John 3:5

    Born of water and the Spirit.

    I do not think so. Water is water. It can have symbolic meaning if somebody wants it to but Jesus said "born of water and the Spirit" which doesn't seem like he was trying to use symbolic water and Spirit. He was explaining birth from above to Nicodemus. Nicodemus didn't get it in verse 4. So...

    The Star - new Christmas cartoon

    Probably not. I think capitalising on the religious viewers potential ticket purchases is the main motivation. It is fine to have humour in cartoons. Even religious ones. But this one looks like somebody wants money for Christmas shopping on a grand scale. Maybe buy a new studio or take over...

    Fraud, truth, and platitudes.

    The other day I was chatting with an atheist acquaintance on Internet Relay Chat (IRC) and while we were chatting he mentioned that religion and political atheism make people say and do things they ought to be ashamed of. I agreed because my most fundamental maxim with regard to religion is that...

    Do you have an evil eye?

    I thought you'd laugh at that. :)

    Do you have an evil eye?

    So it has nothing to do with evil spells or curses then and it has nothing to do with poor eyesight?

    Now, For Something Completely Different

    Holy scripture says he taught doctrine. [Matthew 7:28] And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: [Matthew 16:12] Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of...

    Coffee, tea, and theology

    It is not clear that Jesus gave Judas the bread and wine that he blessed and said were his body and blood.

    You shall know them by their fruits.

    Matthew 7:15-20 "Be on your guard against false prophets; they come to you looking like sheep on the outside, but on the inside they are really like wild wolves. [16] You will know them by what they do. Thorn bushes do not bear grapes, and briers do not bear figs. [17] A healthy tree bears good...
