1 | Is baptism for salvation? (Mark 16:16) | Mark 16:16 | Emmaus | 99955 | ||
Aixien, "It is true. Look it up and you will find a long conversation, accusations, different opinions, and no agreement. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could come to a place like this and find an authoritative answer?" Yes it would be. I count myself fortunate to have such a place in the teaching authoity of my Church. Th buck stops somewhere there and these type of thorny debates are eventually put to rest by an authoritative pronouncement. For example, on this forum there is a lot of debate about whether John 3:5 refers to baptism. For me it is a settled issue. That is one of maybe seven passages which my Church has declared difinitive authortative interpretation. A few others that I can immediately think of in the same category are the interetptation of John 6 with Luke 22:17-22, Mark 14:22-24, Matt26:26-28, 1 Cor 11:23-25 and James 5:14-15. Emmaus |

Brother Emmaus: There is some comfort for you in having that authoritative voice in the Catholic church. But you also wish it could be true for all of us together, in the catholic body, on this forum. Is that not true? Is it not possible? All of the verses you quoted are in all of our Bibles. And there are others as well. I therefore beseech you that we be all reconciled, to God. Maybe we can, in a place like this. | ||||||
