OpusatFR floods us with all these scriptural proofs of people being baptized. Good scriptures, however, they weren’t being sprinkled or poured, they were “baptized.” The very word means immersed. He cites quite a few verses where their baptism was a “burial.” This is what immersion is, a burial – in water.

OpusatFR would have us believe all these people being baptized in Bible days were Roman Catholics. Hardly. The evolution of all these sprinkled (not truly baptized) pagans, calling themselves Christians, into the Papacy lay centuries in the future.

And then I guess he would have us believe all these people being baptized in Bible days, also worshipped Mary, did the Rosary, along with all the other non-Biblical trappings that became part of the Papacy centuries later. Quite preposterous actually.

I failed to mention the brutality of the Roman Church. I correct my last paragraph accordingly:

And then I guess he would have us believe all these people being baptized in Bible days, also worshipped Mary, did the Rosary, PERSECUTING ALL TRUE CHRISTIANS WHO DID NOT AGREE WITH THEM, HAVING THOUSANDS BURNED AT THE STAKE, ETC. Along with all the other non-Biblical trappings that became part of the Papacy centuries later. Quite preposterous actually.

If you can’t fight the Scriptures, bury us in Strawmen.

Raising a strawman argument is trying to deflect the obvious truth.
