    Tares & Wheat: Part 2

    Were you able to see that sometimes it is important to allow the fruitless tares to remain in order to allow the good word A CHANCE to do its work? That same Tares and Wheat thing happens in us. When we get something from God:.. when God plants something in us; when we first get ahold of...

    Tares & Wheat: Let Both Grow Together (Part 1)

    That last line you said is really worth pondering. Thanks for your reply

    Tares & Wheat: Let Both Grow Together (Part 1)

    I asked God about preachers, teachers, pastors and people… who emphatically share the truth of the word of God…right up to the point where they (without skipping a beat) suddenly switch to emphatically sharing lies, false doctrines, and traditions of men (which still sound like the word of God)...

    Why did so many people get baptized by John the Baptist?

    You bring up some very interesting points that I'd not considered about John the Baptist. Such as the fact that his dad was a priest, which sets him in the same lineage... Also... Consider how strongly John must have been seeking and hanging on to God, in order to walk completely away from the...

    Very cool stuff, baptism is.

    Why did so many people get baptized by John the Baptist?

    I've been praying about baptism (water baptism), asking for more details of what it does, etc for some years now. I'm so glad I did (and am continuing to ask) because "Ask and ye shall receive" is a real deal, and I love what God is opening. I didn't realize how much "being planted in the...

    Altered in the Corridors of Time

    It's going so well that I don't have the natural words to tell you about it! (But I'll try, just a little bit, lol) I've been asking God about some deep things like creation ("Hey, God, How exactly did you create and form Adam? What mechanism did you use?, etc., I'd like to know.) for...

    Altered in the Corridors of Time

    That's actually a very good summary. Am I correct to assume that AI was utilized to create it? If so, I might ask some further questions. Also, I haven't forgotten that you are a friend and fellowhelper in Christ Jesus. You might want to check out "Why did so many people come to John's...

    Why did so many people get baptized by John the Baptist?

    I believe you could have included all the way down to 15 (and likely further). Romans 6:11-15 KJV - Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. 12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the...

    Why did so many people get baptized by John the Baptist?

    When I read your post I read it as individual verses, each repeating the example of Jesus death, burial and resurrection being mirrored in water baptism. As odd as this may sound, I didn't even realize you were only quoting Romans 6. I thought you were quoting from all over the new...

    Why did so many people get baptized by John the Baptist?

    For those who wish to consider the topic of water baptism somewhat deeply, I propose the following question. Do you believe the purpose of water baptism to have been the same throughout each of the following periods... Or do you believe there is a different purpose during each of the following...

    Why did so many people get baptized by John the Baptist?

    That quoted line is honestly my favorite part. Not that it is seemingly of greater doctrinal value... But it hit hard as being a statement of humility. 1 Corinthians 8:2 KJV - And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.

    Why did so many people get baptized by John the Baptist?

    There is a very significant question that arrives out of your mention of the rituals of those differing sects.... Was John Baptizing because of the doctrines of MAN (his own, his tribe's or his religious sect's) or because GOD sent him to baptize the way he baptized. In other words... "the...

    Why did so many people get baptized by John the Baptist?

    I can KINDA see a connection to your because of 2 things: 1. The verses that refer to Christians as a kings and priests. And 2. Because of the idea of removal of sins without going through the levitical oriesthoid But a mikvah was (to my understanding) only expected to remove physical...

    Why did so many people get baptized by John the Baptist?

    That's a premise I'd not heard before. Are you saying that as soon as they're got baptized they were given priestly abilities? (AKA They go down into the water without the ability, and come up with the ability?

    Why did so many people get baptized by John the Baptist?

    1. That seems a really dark outlook. 2. It suggests (to me) that you don't have a familiarity with the new testament, generally. Do you support a religion other than Christianity?

    Why did so many people get baptized by John the Baptist?

    Thanks for your reply. My apologies for taking so long to read it thoroughly enough to reply. I like that you acknowledge the difference between the titles mentioned, and the singular name to which he was referring. ("Jesus") Am I correct to assume you believe salvation to be an instantaneous...

    Why did so many people get baptized by John the Baptist?

    And per Acts 2:38, but that account is at/after the change Jesus spoke of in Luke 24:47 stating that "repentance and remission of sins" would start being done in JESUS name beginning in Jerusalem.
