“Jesus was Christened as an infant”
Where is that in the Bible or tradition? I’m not accusing you of anything, just never heard anything about that.
He was certainly circumcised per Jewish Law as an infant. Is that what you mean?
Actually i tried to go into gear with out engaging the clutch, i was informed by what i took to be a well read Catholic that the Catholic Church did not baptize infants but only Christened them.
And that this was carried over from the dedication of Jesus in the temple and that it was after the days of his mothers purification.
It had nothing to do with his circumcision.
Luke 2:22-40
22 And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord;
I made a mistake and said Jesus was Christened as an infant and any one knows that is wrong since Christianity was not even heard of at that time.
But i always thought that the Catholics baptized babies and was informed that was wrong that they only Christened them.
Which makes since to me and Luke 2:22 seems to be where it came from, in fact i believe i was told that is where it came from but can not find the comment.
If i was informed wrong about if it is christening or baptizing then that is another thing, i am not a Catholic i only know what i am told and am trying to learn where their doctrine comes from and this makes good sense to me.
