Things New and Old

Ancient truths revealed in the Scriptures are often forgotten, disbelieved or distorted, and therefore lost in the passage of time. Such ancient truths when rediscovered and relearned are 'new' additions to the treasury of ancient truths.

Christ showed many new things to the disciples, things prophesied by the prophets of old but hijacked and perverted by the elders and their traditions, but which Christ reclaimed and returned to His people.

Many things taught by the Apostles of Christ have been perverted or substituted over the centuries. Such fundamental doctrines like salvation by grace and justification have been hijacked and perverted and repudiated by sincere Christians. These doctrines need to be reclaimed and restored to God's people.

There are things both new and old here. "Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things"
2Ti 2:7.

My analysis of the Baptists... they are like gypsies... a peculiar community.

I inquired:
Cantoro, if Baptists are like gipsies, what are the baby sprinklers like? <LOOOOOOL>

Cantoro replied:
The Baptists were communities never part of Rome, and never joined any protestant groups... Independent from giant Christian bodies, and even the government...

Rather than rigidly observing the Sabbath, looks like the Baptists tried to have fellowship with each other through activities on a more regular basis...

Luther believed a Supreme Bishop should have rule over a district... Calvin believed in order for a country to prosper, the government and church had to work together...

OK, FB friends... your opportunity to instruct this young lad on what the Bible say on the matter. Thanks.

Cantoro Joe
Somehow, looks like you all are like a distinct subculture within a big culture...

If you have done your ANALYSIS, you shouldn't be saying things like "Somehow,", "looks like," etc!!!

You speak like an ignorant but puffy young man!

What kind of analysis you have done!!!

No need to use such awe-inspiring words like "my ANALYSIS" when you are just plucking statements out of thin air!!!

And just what is the "big culture" you have in mind?

And what is the "distinct subculture"?

Is the big culture the one exemplified by the Singaporeans?

Or is it exemplified by the beeee peeeeeee churches?

Or one exemplified by your personal culture?

What's the standard of reference!!!

Please tell us! I would love to hear your ANALYSIS!!!

Cantoro @ "The Baptists were communities never part of Rome, and never joined any protestant groups... Independent from giant Christian bodies, and even the government..."

The Baptists were indeed never part of the Harlot church. They were indeed OUTSIDE of the Roman Catholic Churches and were severely persecuted by the Harlot. The true bride of Christ is the object of hatred and persecution by the Harlot! Two women - one is the Bride of Christ, and the other is the Harlot and pretends to be!

Baptists were never part of the RCC... they were of the free churches outside the RCC. So, they were never protestants like the daughters of Harlot are. The daughters of RCC did rise up to protest against their Mother church! Baptists are not protestants!

However, as you assert, the baby sprinklers are daughters of Mother Harlot!!!

Yes, the Baptists are indeed independent of the giant Christian bodies... but Baptists are completely dependent upon the Lord Jesus Christ, the only true Head of His Church! Baptists recognize NO other ecclesiastical authority except that of Jesus Christ.

Baptists understand that they are to be loyal citizens of the countries they reside in, but that the kingdom of Christ is DISTINCT from the civil government, and is not of this world!

I'm speaking of the Baptists I'm acquainted with; not for ALL Baptists.
