Yes... I think that's good enough reason to abandon this thread. That plus I am too overwhelmed - and lazy, can't forget lazy - to address all of these objections. Besides this, their objections - all of them - have already been addressed by Catholics (and probably other Christians, too) all...

Or "burning in the bosom" - which is a phrase Mormons use to describe what you should feel when you read the Book of Mormon and pray about it. I think it's supposed to describe some sort of emotional euphoria and "feeling good". Now, for a Mormon (as you know, I am not one, so take this with...

What a deluge! I'm not seriously the only one who supports infant baptism on this forum, am I? In any case, I'm gonna need time to reply to all this. Many hours. oooh... But we've all got to agree on this. You ultimately should not bother about what one pastor, bishop, or person says. You...

Definitely, that is part of it. But you must also look at the culture and history of the culture what WROTE the Bible, or you will not interpret it correctly, either. Part of that is what Christians after the Apostolic Age held as true. If you like, history. We must remember the Bible was...

I'll give you that. But while it may or may not be explicitly in the Bible that infants were baptised, it's not explicitly in there that they weren't, either. So, I propose we know one thing. Scripture alone is insufficient in answering this question.

Maybe it's just as well I don't know anything about redstone. I'd be too tempted to actually try this. :3

The Prophets constantly told the Jews that they had turned away from God, and that they would suffer for it. Was this out of vengeance for their being stupid idol worshiping fools, though? It wouldn't seem so. Very often the Psalmists and the Prophets speak of God's power to crush Israel's...

Thank you, Tek. Much appreciated. OK. I understand perfectly well ToJ is primarily a Protestant group, and so I wanted to be sure you were not asking anything that would violate what I believe as a Catholic. That's all. OK. I honestly never thought you had intended that. I asked these...

Not at all. First and foremost my authority is Truth. What is true? Hm. I think that might be said for both of us. Alright. If you like, we'll call it a draw. I concede the Pope, the bishops, and all Catholics - indeed, all people - are sinners, if that's what you mean. But, if to be an...

Or... you could make a case for yourself. If you really think you are right to interpret the Bible as you do, I should know your authority and follow it, shouldn't I? If I don't read the Bible correctly and interpret it improperly, who benefits from it? No one, least of all me. I persist in...

No, but I do feel I have a right to know what exactly I would be signing into. Perhaps a PM would've been a better idea. But I suppose it might be just as well, in case anyone else may wonder in the future.

A continuation of the discussion on this thread.

I was replying to Reverend Jim. -_- I suppose I could have made that clearer; but after Lloren's post I was quoting Rev Jim. Reverend, slogans clear up nothing. I still do not know what you mean by "the blood of Christ", nor any attributes you give to it. So I still do not know your...

...I will wait for tek to answer, just to be sure. :)

Patriot, read the article I gave a link to, then get back to me. Not I. The writer of this article. And not he, but the Catholic Church from where he learnt it. And indeed, not us, but Christ. For we are the body of Christ. (But of course, that's only assuming you believe us. ;)) I am only...

Again, lemme see if I understand you: So you're saying whether God reaches out and grabs you first (Calvin), or whether you reach out and grab Him first (Arminius), or both, or neither, or something else, is of absolutely no import? I disagree, because if I were told God loved me and...

Ah... yes, I believe that's correct. As Hillel said, the rest is commentary. Actually, I'll change my first question. I think misunderstood what the passage I quoted actually meant. I originally'd thought tek meant the interpretations were also perfect. (Which is why I asked which...

Tek, I only want to know so I can know whether I want to sign this charter or not. Whatever you say that charter says is all I want to know. I won't argue you to the death about it. Just tell me what your charter means so I can be of good conscience in signing or not signing on with it, and...

The apologists at Catholic Answers can probably answer your questions more eloquently and completely than I ever could. http://www.catholic.com/tracts/infant-baptism The long and skinny of it being: Christ called the children to come to Him. They don't have to be of the age of reason...
