Who did Christ dip in water? What table ritual? Giving thanks for food? Physical or spiritual food? What ritual do you perform for giving thanks on the air you breathe? The water you drink?
The mystery Christ spoke of evades you.

I just don't see any abuse. Maybe by the illegals, not by us. People are removed from their children all the time for breaking the law. What's the difference? The people coming here have to be "documented". No entry until be "know" who you are. You can't as much drive a car or even buy a beer...
You talk out of both sides of your mouth. I never had to worry about some kid bring a gun to school and shooting teachers and students. Yeah, it's better. I don't remember hippies damaging stores, burning cars, killing cops. Yeah, it's better now. I remember when the opposing party put a...
I see no abuses that any government before Trump hasn't done.
ROTFL........child concentration camps? Those kids were eating and sleeping in condition better than they ever had, and better than most of the child poverty of American children. We are spending much more on these children than we...
Kicked out for "disturbing the peace". Would you like people who disagree with you following you around screaming everywhere you went? Maybe you would. I wouldn't.
It's not the America I grew up in. I hate to see it coming to this. If a Dem becomes President, will you concede to people...
I have never witnessed Sarah Sanders being unethical or cruel. Maybe you can show me where she was.
Are we to assume that Sarah Sanders went to the border and "ripped" suckling babies from their mothers teats?
This whole idea from the Democrats is nothing but an "image" to help them run in...
Singing in unison is a ritual, just as chanting is. Communion is a (physical) ritual ending with John the Baptist. Jesus explained that the "water baptism" is a spiritual choice to be born again. He didn't baptize his disciples in water, nor the thief on the cross. It is a physical ritual...
For a restaurant owner to divide his patrons into political customers to serve or not to serve is clear divisiveness.
As I said "Like the DHS secretary", the chatting and screaming at her shows a world where peace is subjective.
My post was correctly objective to the idiots on both accounts.
Typical liberal divisiveness. Like the DHS secretary. I'd hate to live in a world of screaming idiots following me everywhere.
Maybe public places of business will have signs soon saying "liberals only" or "conservatives only".
The sword Jesus brought divided (completely) the flesh from the spirit. The flesh has it's fate. The soul can be saved by the Spirit (capital S) becoming one with the spirit man was given (in Eden) that gives us (true) life.
John 6:63:
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth...
The best OP I have read since becoming a RF member.
I have traveled that same path. Seeking and finding. I also studied with JWs, having the NWT, the older and newer "Aid to Bible Understanding" and other Watchtower publications. I also went and stayed in Provo, Utah for 6 months, going to...
Orthodox. If you're in flesh, the sinful nature exists. Romans 3:23
Jesus blood is the Holy Spirit. His flesh, the truth from the Father. We eat and drink of it. John 6:63
No one man can judge another. Jesus was given the power to judge after he was glorified. Not even the Father judges.
John...
For me, the Bible isn't Christianity. The Gospel is. I was orthodox for decades until I saw this.When you remove the influences that the Jews followed, the Gospel stands out on it's own without flaw. The difference between a perfect message intertwined with imperfection. When you see the Gospels...
