hey! that's what i been sayin too!
K, when you manifest Book from Word eklectrons move down in their orbits, which that was an unintentional mis-spelling but i guess i'm sposed to leave it? whatever, anyway, Book was Breathed from Word ok you aren't going to lose your Book you are going to find It.
"i do not know what i am talking about" means believe nothing you hear, especially if you heard it from me, that does not fit with your own understanding, and common sense. it is us who reap what we sow.You are reaping fine just like you are. every person who reads this. you are a little tree in the sun, unclench. you are, right now, drawing nourishment from your surroundings, and growing just fine. if you were to go grab a gallon of water, and empty your pockets and walk out your front door, and set down the water, and just step out into the air, and don't come back til you crave silence, and go to wherever you are led, trusting God, you will get to a new place. if you can't do that, right now, for 90 days (then what does that tell you), then do it for 30 days. if you can't do it for 30, do it for 3
Leave town

water baptism not required? "BLASPHEMY" etc...
it is completely symbolic, and if one's belief system includes ritual water baptism and that has meaning for them, then that is what they should do. But consider Who we are talking about here, K, Whose Ways are not our ways; and go read that verse now with the understanding that "water" baptism occurs when you are born, too, and after all we are talking about The Creator ok. C'mon. there are like at least 3 baptisms, and none of them are rituals imo
Don't be deceived, little children, those who do right, are right.
You have no basis to consider a practicing Muslim, who has been instructed to follow Christ or be doomed, and to eschew violence--which believe me we put them to shame there; your kids videos would freak them out--who hasn't gotten a water baptism ritual as you understand it, lost. I'll tell you what is lost there :lol and that goes for anyone else you witness fruit unto repentance from and you know what? even if you aren't, how th is that sposed to alter your witness, even a little bit? what are you going to say when you are called to account for this? do you not understand Christ's most basic instruction? Love your neighbor as yourself? Means he gets to pick his, too, and don't judge another man's servant, and judge by the fruit, not appearances, hello, and look at your self funding perpetual war on the other side of the planet. that isn't any kind of picture for you? What is the matter with...no, a person does not have to get baptized according to your custom to gain a majik ticket to a mansion in the sky ok. but i don't hope you get the mansion; i have a feeling you might. :/
God is funny like that
step out on the breath, K

well i see at least 3 "baptisms," hljc, none of them ritual. I think Jesus was trying to tell us something there, something spiritual, like maybe that is symbolic. if one reads the relevant passage, for baptism, being born of woman is right there in the passage, that's a water baptism, right there, being born. course we make the assiciation the other way around, and say that part is in there to relate baptism to new birth...but go read it again, no reason not to associate it the other way around, either. but then you lose the authoritay part; the law that that gives us, to bash other people over the head with. which is harder, having a baby/being born, or getting ritually "baptized?"
ya that one struck me funny, too. wouldn't say "cannot," though...just tend to not? it's the cart before the horse? maybe
