1 | Water, baptism and John 3:5/Titus 3:5 | John 3:5 | Hank | 111225 | ||
Rowdy, you say "salvation wasn't available on Gospel terms until after the price was paid and the terms had been announced." Can you explain (using Scripture) what you mean? And can you tell us just how believers who lived on this earth before the Advent of Jesus Christ were saved and who saved them? .... Concerning baptism and the thief on the cross, you appear to lean rather heavily I should think on the phrase "might have been baptized." Couldn't one muse with equal authenticity that he "might have" at some time been the mayor of Chicago? If Scripture provides evidence that the thief was ever baptised, it provides equal evidence that he was a former mayor of Chicago, don't you think? --Hank | ||||||

Hank: Are you sure it was the thief on the cross who was a former mayor of Chicago? I thought it was St. Judas of Iscariot, according to the Mythology Department of StudyBibleForum.com. --kalos :-) |

Kalos, according to the unexpurgated annals of "The Decline and Fall of Just About Everybody" St. Judas of Iscariot (he who drove a chariot to the Marriott with his wife Harriet) was the former mayor of St. Louis, not Chicago. You may recall a little ditty that was written in his dishonor: "Meet Me in St. Louie, Judas." It was on the Ides of March, Judas went to see the Arch; his horses ran wild and plunged poor Judas' chariot in the Mississippi River; the chariot capsized and Judas was baptized. But Judas was not the mayor of Chicago. That was the thief. The Annals have no baptismal records on him. --Hank | ||||||
