Mar 1:15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
Mar 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
What is the test here Thomas?Is it Baptism or belief?
It was John..the forerunner of Jesus that taught Baptism for the forgivness of sins ..not Jesus
Luk 3:3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
Luk 3:4 As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
The apostles understood the difference
Act 18:24 And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, [and] mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.
Act 18:25 This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John.
Act 18:26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto [them], and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.
Act 19:4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people,that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.
Act 19:5 When they heard [this], they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
What was that way? It was the one preached by the disciples ..
Act 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;
They did not preach an infused righteouness ..they preached an imparted one..
How could berned believe that two people might have had the same name in those times? You showed him. Once Zebedee and Salome begot James and John those names are done. Duplication was not tolerated in those days.
Let this be a lesson to you berned. From now on use only the "official" papist translation. You have no excuse. These bibles can be found in any catholic book store. Usually right behind the official Virgin Mary lawn statues and the St. Christopher dashboard figurines. Just ask the clerk for the Huey,Douay,and Louie translation.

Your post # 112 is a joke. Rather than cutting and pasting what somebody ELSE thinks for 5000 paragraphs, why not think for yourself a little? That's why God gave you a brain and why God created the Bible for us. So that we would not be brainwashed by the lies He knew would be coming. (From Rome)
Funny how catholic Freepers all bemoan the brainwashing and parroting that left-wing liberals do of Democrat talking points, (which they get inculcated by from the media) but you catholics do the exact same thing.
Yeah, Smedley is quite the li'l "debater"!
That little box just debunked the whole lying Roman Catholic monstrosity. Hee Hee!!!!!
I dunno... The RCC hitched it's wagon pretty tight to the whole "Mary was ever-virgin, and we are infallible on stuff like that" thing.
They'll spin this as well and as desperately as the clintons did, but just as a little blue dress exposed the lies of King Willie (for those with eyes to see) -- mighty Rome will forevermore be mocked by a little stone box with a few simple words carved into it.
I love how God works sometimes.
I still await your answers to the simple questions of Post #88. Do you believe in dinosaurs or are they "unScriptural" (lions and T-Rex and bears, oh, my!)? Give us that sentence in Aramaic please. Etc. America wants to know. Tap. Tap. Tap.
Remember how important it is to take your medications.

When I say the RCC has now been debunked, I'm talking about for those who read the Bible (the vast majority of catholics worldwide have never seen the inside of one), and those who genuinely seek Truth.
Those are the ones God speaks to via the James Ossuary.
p.s. the "Brady Bunch Scenario" won't fly for this group of people.
Your post # 88 was dealt with in my post # 93. I find it too incoherant to dissect and respond to.
In a previous post you were whining about the ossuary being found by "a muslim" (like somehow that invalidates it or something). So I replied that the Dead Sea Scrolls were found by a Muslim. To which YOU responded QUOTE: "Of what possible relevance are the Dead Sea Scrolls?"
I can't respond to somebody that can't follow a conversation logically.
... and also "ever-virgins" who inconveniently have FIVE SONS!!!! LOL!!!
