Well, consider. Christianity is about faith. The claim is that God inspired the words in our Bibles and our knowledge and understanding of God and his ways can be known and proven by those words. The Bible then is for believers. It is not for unbelievers. People who deny it are by default...

Mark 16:16 can be, and often is interpreted in many different ways depending on who is doing the interpreting. My point for the op is not to interpret it but to believe the words are those given to Mark and then to believe what they clearly say. But. if interpretation is still needed then allow...

The simple truth of the command to be baptized in water to "be saved." First by our Lord Jesus. Mark 16:16. then by Peter in Acts 2:38. Some sanity applied to this command. God is a trinity, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Three in one and one in three. Co equal and co...

You are right there, JD731. These same apostles are preaching a brand new message now. It is that Jesus whom you crucified is now risen from the dead and is ascended to heaven to his Father's Throne. These 12 apostles and 70 elders are the structure of the kingdom after the pattern of Moses in...

The chapter begins very early in the morning on Resurrection day and it ends with events of ascension day forty days later. In this chapter we have the apostolic commission to Israel. Jesus had told these disciples, and it is recorded in John 20, that he was giving them his Spirit (by...

Of course you are right and I plead guilty as charged. My comment was a fly over deal because I have no interest in discussing the subject except as it applies to logic concerning the apostolic commission. I really was not looking for a response. But, as my old sergeant used to say; "as you were."

If one did not have all the verses in Mark 16, where would one learn and know on what authority the preachers declared that the creatures of Mk 16:15 to whom they were charged to preach, were to believe the gospel of the risen Christ and submit to baptism in water to receive the indwelling...

Does anybody really buy into this wicked nonsense? Defining the gospel to the world as Christ died for me but not for the rest of you worthless people. Sorry about your luck!

As far as I know no Baptist churches , except the Reformed, teach a doctrine of original sin. Those who believes the Reformed faith are in the only religion that promotes this doctrine. It perverts both the doctrine of man and the doctrine of God. It is fundamentally wrong as it relates to the...

@ Ben 1445, I stated this in the last 2 threads I commented on but I will do it again here. In Romans 5, after Paul has divided time into 3 different frames, the last being the one we are living in now, he said sin is the transgression of the law. Then he said without the law there is no...

Hey Ben, I guess no one noticed that I pointed out a third sinner in the story of the fall of man. He doesn't get much attention from those on the forum but he was the instigator of the fall with a lie and denial of the word of God.

Ho, Zaatar 71: You are asking me to answer all the questions and I am glad to give out what I know. But if you have Bible on the subject that is logical and reasonable I would like to read your comments about it. Most of the time here folks just throw out opinions or out of context verses and...

Not right. The scriptures says "by one man sin entered into the world." No where are we told this man Adam is the original sinner. It is dangerous to use non biblical language when there is not a solid doctrine to support it in passages that honors context and word definitions. The serpent was...

Because it is not in the Bible.

The language of original sin is unbiblical.
