Thank you very much. Happy Sunday! God bless. Ginnyfree.

When I was a new Christian, I wandered around a bit and went to all the different things going on in my Church. I tried this and that and the other thing, looking for what would suit me most. I went to several Charismatic groups and there was much that draws one's attention, including much...

I'll respond to these most unkind words. Such judgment against honest men who did what the Lord asked to them to do. What denomination do you belong to and how old is it? How many times has it changed its core teachings over the length of its history? What will change in it next? The...

Also here is the Knox Translation: "and he, there and then, at dead of night, took them away to wash their wounds, and without delay he and all his were baptized." What is the difference? Straightaway, or without delay, he and all his household, every living person he was responsible for...

Well, then I can only say the Spirit may have moved me here after the restriction was lifted that prevent honest debate and the effective silencing of all others who desire to defend what they believe. Yes, most of the Christians I've encountered who do not share my faith, are kind, respectful...

Yet we are told this: Vanity of vanities, all things are vanity. Nothing new under the sun. People go their own way in all generations. I made a choice for Christ. That means I do it His way not mine. Sometimes I do wonder why some folks cling to obvious errors when there it is in black...

Jordan you are reading something into the text that isn't there. Every person in the household of the jailer was Baptised. They were awakened from sleep and then introduced to the Apostle, St. Paul and Silas, his fellow prisoner and disciple of the Lord. This prison guard took them to his own...

Wesley, thank you for your share. I'll simply quote what I wrote for Yeshua1 "Yeshua, ever hear of the writings of Hippolytus? no? Here's a quote of his from a work called The Apostolic Tradition "Baptize first the children, and if they can speak for themselves let them do so. Otherwise, let...

Well, then who knows where it came from. Not important. I WAS told some whoppers in my RCIA class. When I challenged them, they looked at me funny. I survived. God bless. Ginnyfree.

Jordan, it is possible to do all that is required of the Lord as a Christian, for His yoke is easy and His burden is light. All that He told them to teach, they taught. Look at the word "commanded" in your passage. They took it seriously because He told them to do it. "teaching them to obey...

Yeshua, ever hear of the writings of Hippolytus? no? Here's a quote of his from a work called The Apostolic Tradition "Baptize first the children, and if they can speak for themselves let them do so. Otherwise, let their parents or other relatives speak for them" (AT 21:16 [A.D. 215]). It...

Walter, I am stunned by your sharing your faith journey so openly and honestly with me. I'm honored. I too am a convert. I was 36 at the time of my Baptism. I went thru RCIA and was also handed some malarkey to chew on. My mom was raised as a Baptist and my grandpop would read some of the...

I repeat, if Baptism was not necessary, why did God send His Apostles to Baptise in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit? Did He send them on a fool's errand? When you come up with a good answer for this specific question, let me know. God bless. Ginnyfree.

PS Walter, in all honesty, if this is what you were told in RCIA class, you weren't given Catholic truth. God bless. Ginnyfree.

Walter, the good thief, Dismas he's called was told by Jesus that "today you will be with me in Paradise." Note, Paradise and Heaven are two different places. Paradise is where Moses and Elijah were when they were seen by Peter, James and John at the Transfiguration. Jesus is the firstborn of...

Sola Fide is a false doctrine invented by men. It is historically less than 500 years old. "Sola gratia justificamus et sola fide justificamur" - that's a quote from Melanchthon from the year 1554. The rest of the 5 "solas" weren't a part of Protestant theology until after 1850 or so. You...

You deny the Word of God because it fails your narrative. ""Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and to your children and to all that are far off, every...

Yeshua, you mix up too many different points to answer your questions. The Bible teaches Baptism is necessary for Salvation. That is a 2,000 year old fact. You can deny it, but that doesn't make your point true. As for you last claim against Catholicism, we preserved the Canon of Scripture...

Yeshua, How can you deny the Great Commission? Did Jesus send His Apostles out on a fool's errand? If it was not necessary, why is it called the Great Commission? You make no sense to me. Can you explain your position better? God bless. Ginnyfree.
