[Natural Law]

"So Jesus lied to the "good thief?"

I would never suggest such a thing. I am surprised that you would not know that the requirement for baptism is Pauline. It was not revealed until done so by St. Paul. At the time of the crucifixion baptism had not yet been commanded.

really, Natural Law...really..."The requirement for baptism is Pauline."??? are you talking about water baptism? Please tell me you are NOT. Please tell me you are talking about baptism into Christ BY the Holy Spirit, if you are talking about Paul.

Who was John the Baptist? A fur salesman?
