@l_vliet72077@CatholicDrip___ Jesus is talking about your flesh. And the sins that go with it. Not his flesh which he talked about 6times earlier in the discourse.
@HoekMichiel@CatholicDrip___ Thatโs just an argument from silence. The NT says that they baptized households. The didache gave instructions for the convert.
@LWeberRadio Caitlin needs to put on her war face and either grin and bear it or come off the floor and punch a bully in the face. This swearing and ranting like a crazy woman after every transgression is not going to change anything except her fans perception of her.
@DothanDave@ShamelessPopery@Truth_matters20 Riddle me this. Naaman went to Elisha for an intervention. Elisha sent him away to wash in the Jordon. When he did as instructed he was cured with the skin of a baby. Then he believed. Was he saved by the gospel or by the intervention of Elisha?
Great question! We might also ask, if Jesus wanted to turn water into wine, why didn't He personally handle the jars of wine? If Scripture is to be a rule of faith for us, why didn't Jesus personally write a word of Scripture?
In all cases, His divine power operates through human intermediaries. St. John says that "the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee" (John 2:11), but He does it entirely through the servants. And John 4 says that "Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John (although Jesus himself did not baptize, but only his disciples)" (John 4:1-2). So again, Jesus' divine power is at work through human intermediaries.
Once you understand this biblical principle, the sacraments, the miracle-working of the Apostles, and the divine and human authorship of Scripture make so much more sense.
