Ah yes, his royal highness the Black Mongoose certainly qualifies as an upbeat ninja and we need more of him.

What…? Power… I don’t want to be mean… I agree with most of most of your religious views…. but………..

never mind…

@loopylin
Thanks.

Basically, everything @whalekeeper said. XD

If someone walked into a room and shouted fire, I could say I believe them all I want to, but if I have faith in what they are saying, I will actually get out of the building.

What if you believe them, but the door jams and you can’t access a window? Sometimes baptism is not possible, and to say…[Read more]

The theif on the cross didn’t need to be baptized. Even in modern day, we don’t convict someone for things that where done before a law was passed.

I’m… prrreeEtty dArn certain Jesus’ words on that cross are still relevant today.

Jesus’ disciples taught, and we listen to them, but they were originally taught by Jesus. I trust in His cho…[Read more]

@power

In fact, I think 1 Peter 3:21 perfectly juxtaposes the physical and spiritual aspects of this topic

@power

Sorry for butting in, just found the passage because I was discussing this same topic with a friend, and here it is. This is the ESV.

Luke 23:32-33. Two others, who were criminals, were led away to be put to death with him. And when they came to the place that is called The Skull, there they crucified him, and the criminals, one on his…

Baptism is necessary if it is available. The thief on the cross was not baptized, and was yet saved. Miscarried children are unbaptized, and yet they are saved. So yes, to become a Christian, one should be baptized, but a believer who was unable to be baptized wouldn’t go to Hell. I don’t think God would send a devout believer to Hell…[Read more]

@power

Wait, do you believe baptism is necessary to enter Heaven?

@power

What if the name (singular) of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit was Jesus?

The thing is, that argument can work either way, can’t it?

If the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit is Jesus, than wouldn’t baptizing in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit be baptizing in the name of Jesus?

If you did…[Read more]

@power

What is the name of the Son? 😉

Jesus! Or if we want to be technical, we can go with the original ישוע (Yeshua).

The trinitarian formula comes from Jesus’ words in Matthew 28:18, when He tells the disciples to baptize in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Some people (I don’t know if you’re one of them?) would say tha…[Read more]

Now is time for our next random question, served with a side of rainbow cupcakes! (Ugh, I can’t say anything rainbow-y without sounding weird. Oh well.)

So I had Chatgpt come up with the most random question…[Read more]

Yeah, it’s super cool when the bible does that! Jesus quoted scripture all the time:

Jews placed a lot of emphasis on memorizing Torah and passing down traditions orally. They would have known a lot of passages off by heart.

And a lot (33%) of the…[Read more]

I DO LOVE THAT : D do you like potato news?

*reads what I wrote last night*

*squints*

Of course they told people they were wrong– that was necessary in order to preach the gospel. You can’t say “I’m right” without saying “you’re wrong” either indirectly or directly.

Thanks XD XD

@power

Ah, good question.

Welp…I just spent half an hour reading the bible, especially Acts. And I have not found any mention of anybody specifically telling anyone that their religion is false or that their gods don’t exist. However, it does seem to be implied in certain places. For example, Acts 9:28-29

So he went in and out among them at…
