    What Is The Purpose Of Baptism?

    What do you do with all those scriptures after Jesus's resurrection of baptisms that mention water?

    Many Paths???

    No, they don't. John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. Acts 4:12 And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved." Even if people...

    Baptism as a public declaration and "spirit of Jezebel"

    The New Testament does not call for tithes, it calls for sacrificial giving with a cheerful heart. If you know of any such scripture in the New Testament, please show me. This is a good video on the topic.

    Baptism as a public declaration and "spirit of Jezebel"

    I'm addition to the possible reasons I presented already, one other thought on baptism as a public profession of faith, because of the two, it is the more widespread. In fact, it's an incredible achievement to make this one of the predominantly held beliefs on baptism's purpose. In order to...

    Sorry, an Acts 2:38 thread.

    It was originally written in Greek. Going back to a good Greek interlinear Bible I think helps even better. It's all inspired, but some translations convey some verses better than other translations.

    What Climate Change

    Bad Climate change will also trigger eco-anxiety.

    What Climate Change

    Fabulous all the way around. I think the U.S. can do more with regard to the invasive fish that's taking over our waterways and global warming.

    What Climate Change

    Either the science behind C02 & methane and global warming is correct or it's not. If it is (and I believe it is) then we need to replace the burning of fossil fuels (not just forbid it). She's not helping things. The U.S. has been doing very well with the traditional environmental issues. Not...

    Yup. Same is said of both sides.

    What Climate Change

    I guess the IPCC climate and other scientists have just been sipping martinis and pina coladas with those little umbrellas, when they say they're doing science and spitting out that empirical evidence. Of course absolutely every thing they do and say is just wrong. And all the scientific...

    What Climate Change

    If the environment goes haywire, so does the economy. Neither exists in a vacuum.

    What Climate Change

    :D Thank you for the rant. First I am a conservative. When I speak of conservatives, for obvious reasons, I don't demonize them. I speak from a pragmatic historical perspective. I'm on board with most conservative ideals. Not this one though because I believe the science pointing to "global...

    What Climate Change

    A lot of science reading. And a fair amount of mental health knowledge (my profession) that helps me understand how humans process information.

    What Climate Change

    I've been reading into the history of politics and climate/environment. Still searching, but my working theory is that conservatives got on the side against climate change due to the men who built America buying William McKinley the presidency. Since that time, the environment has been largely...

    Saved By Works

    How do you reconcile all this with your last passage, Ephesians 2, where we are not saved by works call but by grace?

    Baptism as a public declaration and "spirit of Jezebel"

    An heir receives whatever the dead person had decided that they should receive. They don't automatically receive everything. God never said all His co-heirs would receive all His powers.

    Baptism as a public declaration and "spirit of Jezebel"

    Yeah, I think Church of Christ fundamentalists were more common back in the day. Sounds like they did a great job with their kids.

    Yes.

    Baptism as a public declaration and "spirit of Jezebel"

    I'm very familiar with first century history. That was interesting though, thank you. I was referring to Jesus's followers (after Peter cut off Malchus's ear :) ).
