I'm not sure I even read your replies in that thread so this seems a tad bizarre. The careful reader will notice that I (too?) was pushing back a bit on his post--leaning against the pendulum, as it were.
That said, I've heard all that about baptism before, and it's irrelevant. It means what God says it means even if the pagans meant something different and earlier. Not interested in more here because revelational authority trumps ever-tentative "science."
That's fine that you didn't know that my call out of HODL was the reason for the controversy. That's still the reason your post exists. Your post exists in response to the chatter. The chatter is because I called him out for making one size fits all claims that were frankly very unloving to a lot of people who didn't deserve that.
Invincible ignorance for the win. No, you haven't heard all that about baptism before. You're a liar. I know that because it is my own theory fucktard so unless you heard it from me, you've never heard it before. You don't follow me and I don't follow you so you're a liar. Likewise, if you heard me delivering my research on any podcasts or shows, because you are a knee-jerk heresy hunting dogmatist, you never would have made it deep enough into the shows to have actually allowed me to "cook". You would have insisted on tasting my dish after 2 minutes of prep as opposed to allowing me to cook. You would have turned off the podcast long before I was able to present the totality of the research.
You are full of shit and your epistemology is dogshit wrapped in catshit.
You will reincarnate and suffer through at least one more lifetime until you figure out how to love your neighbors as yourself.
As I’ve linked previously, people seriously need to watch this video, unnecessary arguments over complex topics:
Don't worry. I have a constructive outlet.
There's a book in progress.
It will rugpull all the dogmatists.
Ok, fair point: I haven't heard your exact theories about baptism (and I still haven't, because I only scanned your long reply). I should have said that I've heard variations on the same "pagan-origin" themes. Either way, I'm not interested. Again, I wasn't talking about you or your views in my original post.
Thanks for admitting you were dishonestly dismissive.
As such, I'm not surprised that you're maintaining that dismissiveness.
Do you feel loved when your neighbors dismiss you?
My guess is you'll say you don't care but that's not the question.
