No real need to point this out. Everyone here has watched this behavior for years. A sad case. |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

What I'm talking about is the fact that the apocryphal books are not and never were included in the Jewish Bible. Can you show otherwise? That would be very interesting if you could. Next, perhaps you could explain how nearly 300 years after the fact a Christian church decided they had the right to say what is and is not Old Testament scripture. Perhaps you don't know as much as you think you do, Dewey. |

The Gutenberg was the first printed bible. There had been centuries of hand scribed book bibles before that. These were also bound in books. So we see you made another error in trying to address the error you first made, which you never really answered about how these books were supposedly not found in bibles before the 16th century, etc. But as I said, let's move past that and get to the real discussion. You claimed that infant baptism is against the teaching of the bible, and that the Catholic Church is wrong to teach that it is something that we should do. So your thesis is: Infant baptism is wrong and anti-scriptural, and the Catholic Church is wrong to teach it You also claimed that the Scripture teaches that the Eucharist is not really the Body and Blood of Christ and that the Catholic Church is wrong to teach that it is. So your thesis is: The bread and wine used in the Christian liturgy are not really the Body and Blood of Jesus, but only a metaphor (/hypothetical, I am still not sure what you mean by that), and this teaching is anti-scriptural and the Catholic Church is wrong to teach it. You are supposed to prove both of these from using only bible texts. You can start whenever your ready. |

I can see that I cannot let the slightest detail go by without writing a 12 pages thesis on each and every possible angle that you or Dewey can use to misdirect the discussion and divert attention away from the issue. The apocryphal books would be part of the Old Testament. You admitted that already. They are not found in the Jewish Bible. Surely you won't disagree with me that the Old Testament is the Jewish Bible. They were included in the Septuagint for their historical value only, and were not considered to be scripture. I have already shown that to be the case. So the ONLY point that *I* have made is that any theological discussion that I engage in will be based on what is considered to be inspired scripture, and the apocryphal books are NOT considered to be inspired scripture, and never were by anyone other than the Catholic Church. |

Now IT, before I address the issue of infant baptism, please tell me what you believe the purpose of baptism to be. I do hope you don't give me the argument you did earlier where you claimed that baptism replaced circumcision. What is the purpose of baptism, IT? Dewey, you might as well tell us what you think its purpose is as well, I'm not in the mood to have to swat every little fly you throw at me later. |

You would be wrong on that count. I've met Kenny in real life a few times, I even visited him in his home, broke bread with him, played his pianos, and listened to him play his guitars and sing. Kenny is actually quite pleasant to hang around with in real life.

You could have a wallet made of circumcised foreskins, and if you were traveling, you could just rub it a little, and it would turn into a valise!

Larry, these are all found in the Septuagint (the Greek word for 70 -- often noted as LXX) -- the Greek translation of the Hebrew texts which were complied before Jesus -- around 300 BC, . You really need to understand this, since it show beyond doubt that these seven other books were found in the Hebrew bible before Jesus. The thing that puzzles me is how *you* personally can claim to know what is or is not "divinely inspired" scripture. The history of the biblical scholars arriving at a definitive "canon" is a complicated area of study. On what basis do you accept the Book of Hebrews or the Book of James (which were disputed in the early Church) but reject the Epistle of Barnabas (which was accepted in the early Church)? My guess is that you accept what is "divinely inspired" because it is in your King James Bible. Am I wrong? |

No Larry. The point of this is I am giving you an opportunity to prove the Catholic Church is wrong, where you get to use scripture to do so. So you get to define those terms first, using only scripture -- both baptism in general and infant baptism, and the Eucharist. And I get to answer, using only scripture. You can start when your ready. |

I think it is fair that you state what the Catholic view concerning baptism is, because I do not intend to continue shooting at moving targets. |

Honestly, I don't think he knows how to behave like a mature and sensitive human being. He talks a good game about tolerance and respect, and yet, is entirely unfamiliar with the most basic notions of those concepts.
