Even if this is correct, (and it may well be as i am no scientist-perhaps somebody who is can tell us), that makes do difference to the fact that God's word does not say that He placed an already-existing body into Mary's womb. Surely no fertilisation is done by the ovum, but by the semen...

Conception, as I understand it, happens at fertilisation. No fertilisation occurs in the womb of a surrogate mother; that which is implanted into her womb is the result of fertilisation. Yes, His physical brain, like the rest of His physical being, was newly created in Mary's womb. But that...

Sorry, I am afraid often do that - not realising when somebody is joking in a post. I apologise.

Please don't worry about it. I have all too often been guilty of misreading posts. Thanks!

You seem to have misread my post. II wrote: " I have not been reprimanded by the moderators for saying so" Anyway, I am a Baptist and this the Baptist Board, so of course they cater for Baptists. However, some Baptists believe in predestination, and some don't.

I would just say that II have been a Baptist since I was converted, about 50 years ago, and I have never, either as a visitor or a member, been in a Baptist church which had a 10AM Sunday School (and "Sunday School" here in the UK is for children, unlike the USA, where I understand it is for all...

I agree with most of your post, but John the Baptist is so named because he baptised people, not because he was a Baptist in the sense that we use that label today. I tend to refer to him as John the Baptiser, to avoid any misunderstanding.

What do you mean by: " it doesn't appear that this board doesn't accept Predestinations at all."? If it doesn't appear that this board doesn't accept predestination, do you mean that it appears that this board does accept predestination? I think it must, because I believe in the biblical...

Not according to the Bible. There, we read that Mary would conceive in her womb, not that God would insert an already-exiisting embryo into her womb: Luk 1:30 Then the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. Luk 1:31 And behold, you will conceive in your...

I would say the will of God for Christians is not only the Ten Commandments. After all, Jesus said: NKJV Jhn 6:39 This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. Jhn 6:40 And this is the will of Him who sent...

I agree. I like this entry from my bible software's concordance: "For" (as used in Ac 2:38 "for the forgiveness ") could have two meanings. If you saw a poster saying "Jesse James wanted for robbery," "for" could mean Jesse is wanted so he can commit a robbery, or is wanted because he has...

My answer would be "No". My son is an adult now, but when he was younger, we did not let him go trick or treating. It seems a strange activity for Christians to encourage or permit their children to take part in, as it seems to promote the idea of "Give me what I want or face the...

Because each local Baptist church is autonomous under God, there can be no definitive answer to a question which starts, "Do Baptists believe......" (except, of course, for matters contained in the so-called "Baptist distinctives," such as baptism being for believers and the priesthood of all...

Thanks. I would say that it is impossible to make Jesus Lord, because that is Who He is. We have only to consider the number of times He is called "the Lord Jesus" or "the Lord Jesus Christ" in the Bible. (116 times in the NKJV). The Philippian jailer, when he asked how to be saved, was...

Tell me, do you believe that God the Father has a physical brain? Surely not, as we are told in the Bible that He is spirit. Yet we read of God remembering. Just a few examples: NKJV Jer 2:2 "Go and cry in the hearing of Jerusalem, saying, 'Thus says the LORD: "I remember you, The kindness...

True, sinners who are saved are placed into Christ, but they don't become Christ, either individually or collectively as the church. The church consists of those who are in Christ. The church is not Christ, and Christ is not the church.

Surely that cannot be completely true. If somebody claiming to be a Baptist interpreted the Bible in a way that promoted infant baptism, a state church, a local church being ruled over by some ecclesiastical "authority", denied the priesthood of all believers, or went against any other Baptist...

I would say that both are involved. As Romans 10:14 says, nobody can call upon the Lord Jesus Christ if they don't believe in Him: NKJV Rom 10:14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they...

I so agree. The Bible gives us all we need to know about the Saviour's incarnation. He would be born of a virgin, so not as the result of a man and woman coming intimately together. The Holy Spirit would bring this about. Arguing, as some do, about where His DNA came from, or suggesting that...

Where does the Bible say that Jesus is the body? There are 14 verses that include the two words "Jesus" and "body" in the NKJV, and not one of them says that He is the body, in the sense of Him being the church: Mat_14:12 Then his disciples came and took away the body and buried it, and went...
