Iraqi's like very many other people tolerate political high crimes. Simple as. You can lead a horse to water, but in order to force him to drink, you'd literally have to occupy indefinitely, iow colonize, or just flat out annex them, at least until they understand American morality. Like...

So your definition of baptism would be immersion, but basically a ceremonial washing, yes? But being immersive is required for you to call it baptism, is this correct? And you and I both know that you're promoting a partisan position in saying that, favoring the Baptists over almost everybody...

We're the Church in the Bible, with the Biblical bishops, like Timothy and Titus.

Interesting that of the prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Daniel (all roughly contemporaries), the first is mentioned by name in the NT, the second referenced (at the Last Supper with Christ mentioning Jeremiah's New Covenant), while Ezekiel and Daniel are only alluded to with the title...

Nowhere in the OT is anybody explicitly baptized in the name of Christ, but confer: Exodus 40:12 Leviticus 8:6 People are baptized Psalm 51:2 51:7 David requests to be baptized Ezekiel 16:9 God baptized Jerusalem Along with dozens of instances of people baptizing themselves.

You're out of your mind. Not only does one have nothing to do with the other, but it's actually closer to the truth that more military activity is one of the few options the wealthy have to solve world hunger. As you're unaware of this fact, that starvation and impoverishment and abject...

Are Timothy and Titus in "Peter's church?"

Thanks for confirming my suspicions.

Vote Republican.

Easy. The Church with the bishops.

This part: "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." Right? You have yourself a contradiction between John and Jesus, one saying we all sin, and the Other saying if you sin the truth is not in you. And Dispensationalism doesn't resolve that...

Was your father a WWII vet Eric? What was his opinion on the Japanese at the end of the war? Did he think they should have surrendered sooner? or did he think America should have just quit fighting, packed up and gone home? Or did he think the Bombs were a gift from God? Fact is, whenever...

But that is your assumption, presupposition, preconception, opinion, view. And you're presenting it as declaratory. Fact is how I worded my post is universally true for all parties, who are not Dispensationalists in some sense. We all agree to just one Apostolic narrative. Your point about...

In the UK, does anyone you know have guns?----ah ... I mean "swords?" Are you allowed to carry a gun in the UK? You personally? but also, is anyone? Yes. It was necessary for them all to be killed, rather than to defend themselves. If they had defended themselves, then this faith of ours...

@Hoping Right? You agree with this, right Hope? I'm assuming you agree with this, but I realized, I don't have any proof. I'm asking you for proof. Will you give me the proof I need, in order to establish this assumption of mine? And assuming you will provide this to me, I'm going to...

When did you actually read the whole Bible though, Hope? Was it while you were Catholic, or "after?" We don't worship the Mother; we love the Mother. Agreed. Assumptions, presuppositions, tomato-tomahto. You really can only hold assumptions which are proven to be true, otherwise they are...

I mean it takes less than a complete thought to answer that question in a wide variety of valid ways, which makes me wonder about you as a person. Frankly.

There are Gospel passages which explicitly and in no uncertain terms says Christ came in part specifically for the Gentiles, planned, known ahead of time. And, "His own received Him not." But even though "His own" (Israel) "received Him not," nonetheless still, there were those who did receive...
