Did you guys know there are unicorns in the Bible!? KJV Numbers 24:8 God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows. KJV Deuteronomy 33:17 His glory...

Can I have a say in all of this? KJV Matthew 13:24-30 24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: 25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 26 But when the...

Good point. I think it's important to know the symbolism of what we do, and the importance of why we do it. Unfortunately, most people (I may, or may not be guilty of this myself...) only lean towards one way or the other, instead of looking at the whole picture. A lesson just about all of us...

Now this is a fault I will rightfully accept. My apologies, I thought you were one of those people who tried to belittle the importance of baptism. But... Two wrongs don't make a right. I never used water baptism as a replacement for Jesus' blood. Don't get me wrong. I do...

Okay, these next two posts are just a correction of my one previous post, due to my slight incompetence on properly posting on this forum. If a moderator happens to be reading this, can you delete my previous post? Perhaps I should make a few things clear. I never belittled the importance of...

My bad... I was tired and wanted to make a quick point before I went to bed. You're right. Jesus himself didn't water baptize anyone. But he his disciples did. But the main point is, water baptism was (and in some churches, still is) a vital part of the ministry, if not top priority. Yes...

OH WAIT! There's ONE more thing I want to point out on the subject of baptism! KJV John 3:22-26 22 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized. 23 And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was...

Baptism = Jump for joy? Yeah... that doesn't sit well with me.... But other than that, you sure have a way with words, I'll give you that. You even sound like a genuinely concerned Christian. I just hope you're someone who's actually seeking truth, and not just some feel-good doctrine. I don't...

Challenge accepted. But let's attempt to put some pieces together first, shall we? Since this is the baptism of Christ we're talking about, it's only natural that we start off at... well, Christ's baptism. KJV Matthew 13-17 13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized...

Of course I have. I might've forgotten or overlooked some of the smaller details, but I've read it. However... I'm glad I've decided to post my question here, and not as a thread on its own, because I want to talk a little more about baptism. From what I can remember, I don't think there was a...

I highly agree with you. But still, it couldn't hurt to have a solid foundation of what a Christian is supposed to be.

I like your answer. But that brings up another question I have. Let's say a person was never baptized in their life, nor do they attend any churches. However, they still believe Jesus existed, believed all the miracles that he performed, and that he died for our sins, pray to God in Jesus'...

Ah! The perfect thread for a very debatable question! (Or maybe the answer is obvious, and I'm just too oblivious to know the answer) Can somebody tell me what defines a Christian? Because it seems to me that everyone who uses the words "God" and "Jesus" can easily be defined as a Christian. Or...

That may be so, but I think I know a few scriptures that can back up your claim. KJV Matthew 19:27 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore? KJV Matthew 17:22-23 [22]And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto...

And here's the question of the day. What does it mean to believe on/have faith in Jesus? Is it believing he existed? All we have to do is believe he died for our sins? Or is there more to our faith in him than believing the things he did?

I'm going to answer this in the simplest way I can think of. Yes, it IS possible to lose salvation. KJV Galatians 5:19-22 19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations...

Shalom, children of light! I'm ChocolateSheep, and I'm looking forward to having a good time here. Not much more to say than that until I get around to the discussion parts of the forum, so... I'll see you around!

Welcome, chocolatesniffer! I actually JUST joined this website yesterday, but never got around to doing my greeting post. I was actually just about to do that before I realized another "chocolate" user besides me recently joined the website as well. What a coincidence! :LOL:
