    All about circumcision

    @JohnClay, is this subforum for debating Christian Theology, or addressing non-Christian Seekers asking questions about those aspects of the Christian faith which seem hard to understand or accept? You'd better take reign of the thread, before it runs "Helter Skelter" into a never ending...

    All about circumcision

    Dead men feel no pain. Taking the foreskin of dead men, is like taking the sandals from their feet. It was nothing, other than fulfilling a request which demonstrated that God was with him, and could deliver him, even from an army that would have been impossible to beat with just a few men...

    All about circumcision

    United States 71.2% :openmouth: Surprised me there. I wonder why... if people heard of the health benefits, or there was another reason. It could be that men decided to get circumcised, because they heard that doing so reduces their risk of genital herpes and certain strains of human...

    All about circumcision

    The choice of one's parents has always been the case... in some cases, unfortunately. Parents decide what hairstyle, and clothing their child wears; what school they go to... and if a girl, if their ears will be pierced... Depending on the parent a child has, it can go to extremes. In New York...

    Does man have a freewill ?

    Hey Brightflame. The thread has gone way off topic. If you want to discuss this, it's possible to start a new thread.

    Does man have a freewill ?

    Talking about Jesus' baptism here. What repentance did Jesus' baptism symbolize? Please don't just assert, as you are doing. Provide scripture(s) please. I'm not sure what you are trying to say. Perhaps you can be more specific about what you are saying. What scripture, or law does Jesus'...

    Does man have a freewill ?

    Bathing in water does not cleanse sins, Clare. To fulfill all righteousness? What does that mean, other than to do what is right according to God's will? I don't see how that changes what was said. Jesus certainly did not need cleaning, nor repenting from sins, but he underwent water baptism...

    All about circumcision

    Hello John. To be circumcised or not, is a personal choice. However, it was required by God that his people be circumcised. Though it's not directly stated, circumcision seemed to serve as a sign that made God's people distinct from the nations around them. Other than that, only God can give the...

    Does man have a freewill ?

    I'm not sure how this relates to being born by water. Jesus certainly did not need cleaning, nor repenting from sins, but he underwent water baptism, as the first person to be born of water, followed by being born of spirit, when the holy spirit alighted on him. There is nothing in John 3:3-5...

    Does man have a freewill ?

    Unless you are baptized in water, you are not born again. John 3:5; Acts 10:44-47; See this link also. You are not a disciple either, if you do not get baptized, as Jesus commanded. Matthew 28:18-20 I understand you believe that, but no scripture supports that idea. In fact, the holy spirit...

    Does man have a freewill ?

    You would agree Cyrus is not Adam, right. Because God foresaw the conquest of his people, and their captivity for 70 years in Babylon, and he exercised his foreknowledge at that time, to see exactly how things would turn out, that does not mean we should assume that God did the same in every...

    Does man have a freewill ?

    o_O We like our sin. . .until we are born again. :!?: Paul was born again, and here is what Paul said... 18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. 19 For the good that I will to do, I do not...

    Does man have a freewill ?

    Genuine free will? Clare. are you thinking carefully of what you are saying? First, you say philosophical free will. Now you want to call that genuine free will!!? We cannot just go about being the language authority, especially when one don't know what one is talking about God given free will...

    Does man have a freewill ?

    How do I know that John the Baptist was not born again? Who baptized John in water, and when was John anointed in holy spirit, like Jesus and his followers were? Also, where in the scriptures does it say every person who obeys God, will be his anointed sons? The common false assumption that...
