    The Baptist ?

    Yes according to the scripture. But so did Jesus, but was supposedly raised from the dead. Which brought me to the question of why was it that jesus did not raise the greatest prophet?

    The Baptist ?

    The "books" say very little about John in my opinion. Why did John continue to have disciples after he had told the world "to follow jesus"?

    The Baptist ?

    Yes the bible does that not just in this instance, but quite often doesn't it. Indeed there are many half stories just simply left suspended in mid-air.

    The Baptist ?

    If by that you mean, I would like a better explanation than the frivolous excuses and responses than have already been offered then you are correct. . The fact is, John was baptising people and had not been baptised himself. Jesus was baptised when he was sinless. Why? and no one can say...

    The Baptist ?

    Deary me. I asked a question about john, and since then I have been replying to all kinds of statements, whereas no one as managed to answer my question. I believe that John and Jesus didn't like one another very much. I believe the incident down at the River Jordan was one of conflict. But this...

    The Baptist ?

    So what did Jesus have to repent about,? What sins had he committed? He was a son of god, and according to some on this thread his mother was also sinless. Strange they didn't start with John then, don’t you think?

    The Baptist ?

    I asked you for your biblical evidence for both these statement, your reply was;> So you have no biblical evidence for those two extraordinary statements of yours then? You see what is beginning to unfold here for you thau, is that the bible simply cannot be trusted to tell us the “Gospel...

    The Baptist ?

    You are assuming a lot about me now. strange that you tell me not to assume anything about the bible and go on to assume much yourself about the bible (and myself) .

    Indeed the gospel writers are no better at getting their story straight either though are they? Thier contradictions and half stories are endless.

    The Baptist ?

    and your biblical evidence for this is what? And your biblical evidence for this is what? I have charged "your lord" with nothing. I have pointed out an anomaly in what the scriptures actually state and not what you want them to state.

    So you are assuming again then?

    The Monopoly of Religious Believers

    I don't know if you are suggesting a strawman argument with your picture so I will address your comment only; So there are no religious fundamentalists who want to kill me because their god deems it that all none believers should be killed. O well, I have been worrying for my children’s and...

    The Monopoly of Religious Believers

    Well then your suggestion would be totally incorrect and I find your suggestion about me to be quite offensive.. I am not anti any nation. I am anti anyone who decides that because a god say so, they want to kill me. It is a fact that the heartland of the zealots was Galilee. As is South...

    The Baptist ?

    I see, so, it was Ok for John to go around baptising people to cleans them of their sins and calling them to repent, when he hadn’t been baptised himself. Sounds a bit hypercritical one would think. Yes very puzzling that one Pegg, I must say. So we have to ask why didn’t Jesus...

    The Baptist ?

    I don’t see anything in that verse that states the Baptist was a sinner or had sinned.

    The Baptist ?

    I can only assume “blameless” means without sin. It is suggested in Luke 1:1-25. It appears to be the same scenario in the case of Jesus’ mother some 3 months later. Angel appears , speaks of a baby to be born and disappears. I have found nothing in the biblical scriptures that state...
