Bible Note: Dear Terrib I appreciate your help. FYI I do read the bible for several hours each week and study carefully either whole books or individual concepts. Like you I do look to the Lord for guidance but some things do have me puzzled and I thanak you for your help. As you suggest I will explore the Baptism part of this site as I can not understand why Jesus would make it a prerequisite for salvation (Mk 16:16) and yet you seem to imply its not necessary. I do not question your belief, just trying to understand the truth. Mk16:16 cant not contradict other scripture and likewise other scripture can not contradict it. All must be in harmony as they are from God. So, thank you for your view, which is informative and helpful but still leaves me feeling that what our Lord stated was indeed something different. I will continue my pursuit of the truth. Once again, thank you and I wish you a great life in Christ Regards Barry |
