Why Was Jesus Baptised???????????

I'll just wait on an example of a proven contradiction where the Christian apologetic collapsed and was proven false.

I got lost in the rest of it in its grammatical nightmare. So, when I see the above we shall continue.

indeed, because grammer is SOO much scarier than demons and satan. i can accept the existance of the later but no way will i even try to look at the former. u sure it isnt just inability to adequately reply. or do u honestly have dislexia??????

I could read through it all, but it taxing and boring. There is nothing really to respond. You think religion promotes lunacy and a bunch of other bad crap and I disagree. There is no argument there. That's just the way of it.

suppose i can agree to that. just one correction though, i dont believe RELEGION does that, i believe christianity/judaism/hinduism/islam does it. and theres no argument there cause the arguments have been made and argued to death and reasonable conclusions rached.

You took the words right out of my mouth 👆.

Jesus baptism was a symbolic gesture, to show that he is one with the father, as we are baptize are one with are, lord Jesus. Do you need to be baptize to be saved? no. But is a symbolic gesture, as long you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior, you are saved.

During, it was Satan who gave him his special "water", which Jesus drank from and bathed in. Despite it being sticky, Jesus loved that water.

Oh...your an ass hole. I get it 😆 😂

I don't get it.

You make feel bad, I'm gonna baptise myself to make me feel good.

No, it was for the remission of sins.

John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.

John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins... I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost. (Mark 1:4 and Mark 1:8)

"I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire..." (Matthew 3:11)

And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost (John 1:33).

Pretty clear really. Since Jesus was sinless, John didn't want to baptise Jesus because he was sinless. And then Jesus's baptism was very different than everyone elses.

The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us [not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God], by the resurrection of Jesus Christ (1 Peter 3:21).

But water baptism does not remit sin. Without the shedding of blood (i.e. the sinless sacrifice of the Son of God, Jesus Christ) there is no remission (i.e. of sin).

Hebrews 9:22
And according to the law almost all things are purified with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no remission.

Hebrews 9:22
And according to the law almost all things are purified with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no remission

Actually, taken from the OT, but it was a good try.

You failed and missed her point.

Waits for Mithra. He died for my sins, ya know?

First, off, Mithra is never recorded as dying. Therefore, this argument is already pwnd. Second:

This description is rather spun out into a sound-alike of Christian belief, but behind the vagueness lies a different story. Mithra did not "sacrifice himself" in the sense that he died; he was not the "great bull of the Sun", but rather, he killed the bull (attempts to somehow identify Mithra with the very bull he slayed, although popular with outdated non-Mithraists like Loisy and Bunsen, were rejected by Vermaseren, who said that "neither the temples nor the inscriptions give any definite evidence to support this view and only future finds can confirm it" [Verm.MSG, 103]; it was not for the sake of "world peace" (except, perhaps, in the sense that Cumont interpreted the bull-slaying as a creation myth [Cum.MM, 193], in which he was entirely wrong). Mithra could only be said to have "sacrificed himself" in the sense that he went out and took a risk to do a heroic deed; the rest finds no justification at all in modern Mithraic studies.

You have very poor sources.

Actually, Caesar is the true god, he moves the world right here and now.
