    +++ Fast Or Feast? +++

    Post number 2 by Patrick explains adequetley. My explanation is in post 8. The only difficulty is in your assumption that Jesus walked towards John to be baptised but it is just an assumption without any evidence. Your theory is a house built on sand -it collapses under testing.

    +++ Fast Or Feast? +++

    It seems you are right Patrick, he is flogging a dead horse with this particular thread, it is so clear that I wonder if he is blinded to the blatant truth. I don't pretend there aren't difficulties in the gospels(most of which dissapear with careful reading and comparisons) but this isn't one...

    +++ Fast Or Feast? +++

    As mentioned before these things were already mentioned in previous gospels but John being one of the closest disciples of Jesus saw things and heard things that many of the other gospel writers may not have. Johns gospel rather than parrott the other gospels gives us something more but I...

    +++ Fast Or Feast? +++

    Jesus' life was packed full of meaningful events and happenings but John carefully selected the ones that proved something: St. John 20:30-31 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: But these are written, that ye might believe...

    +++ Fast Or Feast? +++

    The gospels are truth. After the synoptic gospels had been in circulation for a while why would John then, some 30 + years later write the same stories that are common place in the other three and already well know to his target audience? Who would read a book that is the same as one already...

    +++ Fast Or Feast? +++

    The account in John is not of Jesus' baptism but an event after the baptism, this is why John recalls Jesus' baptism by reffering to the incident where the Holy Ghost came upon Jesus as a Dove. He says I knew Him not (I.e that he was Messiah) until this baptism event. John knew that upon the...

    Ephesians verses that possibly contradicts Mormon beliefs

    I think they believe works are an important part of reaching salvation but even salvation means something a bit different to what it does to Protestants.So they claim to agree with the beautiful scripture you posted whilst at the same time will say that Paul does not limit salvation to grace...

    Can someone help me understand this?

    Hi Lava Is this your opinion or the teaching of your religion, if it is can you provide evidence from your scriptures.

    Would Something Like This Offend You?

    Hema, they would agree that they are also sinners, they are not going around pointing out others sins whilst saying they have none. The whole point is that they have been confronted with theirs and have sought forgiveness from God on the basis that Jesus promised that whoever repents & believes...

    Would Something Like This Offend You?

    I'm not against the principle of what they teach I believe it to be true. However what seems to have happened from this is that Christians are repeating the show word for word everywhere they go, I even had the pleasure of sitting through several church services of this teaching - again word for...

    pornography in the bible

    [48] Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to do after your lewdness. [49] And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you, and ye shall bear the sins of your idols: and ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD. Here is God condemming it (in the...

    Do you believe in a world wide flood?

    DO you ask the chemist to prove that the mediaction the doctor has prescribed to you is what it says it is? Or do you just swallow that pill with blind faith?

    What do mainstream Muslims believe Jesus will do when he finally returns?

    Destroy Christianity (break the cross), convert the millions to Islam and then die. Am I close?

    Surely all the bad things we do are done to someone, if there is no victim or offended person then it wouldn't be a bad thing.... would it?

    Oldest form of Christianity? or church

    I would say that it's the church who's doctrine and practice most closely mirrors that found in the acts and epistles. I do not know of anyone denomination that fully matches up but I find groups and individuals in many of the denominations that come close. But remember even the first church...

    this is my first contribution....

    Is their any chance you can explain this a little more? I'm not entirely sure that I am fully comprehending this system. In any case isn't the verse you posted saying that if you have done something bad you can make up for it by doing something good?

    Do you believe in a world wide flood?

    I believe it happened just as the bible says it did. I'm not looking for proof though.

    War on Imposters It was now time to strike at the imposters. Usama's army had rested and was ready to go into action again. Abu Bakr marched the army about twelve miles along the road to Nejd. Here he divided it into eleven battalions. Each battalion was put under the command of an experienced...
