They even have baptism for the dead, completely unbiblical.

They do not have baptism of the dead. They don't baptise dead people. They practice "Proxy Ritual" where you are go through a baptism ritual in place of someone who is dead.

Baptism of the dead was practiced in the early infancy of the church in some places. It is mentioned by Paul.

Homo "rights" are unBiblical, but you don't see the some churches too concerned about it these days. Their followers STILL think their way is the only way into heaven.

The Catholic Church has 'babtism by Desire'. . .implying that if one leads a good life; one that follows spiritual Principle. . .then that person earns a 'Babtism of Desire'. . .this is how they reconcile the delemma of those of other 'Faiths' i.e. Jews/non-Christians; or just un-babtised 'Christians' who otherwise would be excluded, can be spiritually sanctioned to enter Heaven.

See 'Babtism of the Dead' as perhaps a similar concept.

Can we just appreciate people. . .political leaders who live a 'moral life' and one that is honorable. . .who are perhaps both 'God-loving and God-fearing'; without a Christian Bible litmus test?

Certainly have fond memories of the Bible-carrying Clinton's doing their 'entering and exiting' photo-ops. . .

29 Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?

1 Cor. 15:29

Read a book before posting about it:

1 Cor 15:29 (KJV) 29 Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? Why are they then baptized for the dead?

OMG! They baptize for the dead? How could anyone vote for someone who believed in something so utterly "un-biblical"?

Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead? (1 Corinthians 15:29 KJV)
