@LeeFoo9@faiththepariah@needGod_net Thereโs a lot to unpack there. So, you believe water refers to physical birth? Could you show me in the Bible in the OT or NT where water refers to physical birth apart from John 3:5? If Iโm not mistaken, thatโs a rather newer interpretation and not a historical one.
@LeeFoo9@faiththepariah@needGod_net How do you know I donโt study? I read the NT in light of the OT. Do you?
I donโt read my theology into the texts, such as John 3:5, but rather check the earliest sources (including the Bible)
If I say, baptism saves, you might say, it doesnโt. But what does the text say?
@LeeFoo9@faiththepariah@needGod_net On the contrary, John 3:5 is about water baptism and regeneration, however you say it isnโt. Any early sources that says it isnโt?
@LeeFoo9@needGod_net What did Jesus mean by it is finished? Why does Titus 3:5 go against Catholic salvation, (as you call it)?
Catholics read the new and old testament during Mass and are encouraged to read it and study it.
@farmingandJesus@Vitus_osst Itโs unbloody in the sense that Christ is not โsheddingโ blood again. Thatโs happened once and for all per Hebrews.
Sacrifice is made present sacramentally. Sacrifice literally happened and he literally shed his blood.
