Your incoherent reply shows a total ignorance of scripture.

Here’s the truth no matter what the evangelical crowd might believe.

“Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit”. John 3:5”

(Proverbs 8:13) The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

(Proverbs 8:14) Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.

Hey you can believe that water washes all your sins if you want but that does not make it so . Even one of your early Catholic apologist says that it was a common pagan practice to believe that water washed away sins

5. But you will tell me that peoples without the slightest understanding of spiritual things attribute power to their images of gods through the same efficacy in water. These, however, deceive themselves, since the water they use is bereft of spiritual power. For they are initiated into certain sacred rites by a bath, those of some 16 Isis or Mithras; even their very gods they exalt with washings. Indeed, it is a universal custom to carry water round estates, houses, temples and whole cities, for their purification by sprinkling.

The poster gave you a very clear, well written reply in a loving spirit and all you spittlists know how to do is insult the poster. Your religion makes this sort of adherents.

You're a prime example of what catholiciism does to the human soul, puffing up the pride in self ... such love you display! /sarcasm
