Re: Poll: Modes of Baptism
I have already said that 'immersion' as a mechanical process is symbolically 'death, burial, and resurrection', but it does not mean death in the literal (physical) sense, an dI do not think that it means only death in the figurative sense, either.

Re: Today ...
Kitchen remodel is just about done. Still got a little trim work to do. https://dataus.net/ss/phone/IMG_20240204_170725823.jpg Here is the new fireplace unit. Wife had it decorated in about 5 minutes after I was done. She pretty much designed it. I just built it. https://dataus.net/ss/phone/IMG_202...

Re: Poll: Modes of Baptism
I agree that the "mechanics" of it is not in focus. I think that Westerners tend to think in terms of formulas, and are distracted from the spiritual meanings behind the things we are told to do. (On the other hand, shamanism is also super focused on exact repetition of prescribed ceremon...

They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but...

Re: Poll: Modes of Baptism
I would note that arguments from symbolism don’t really hold a lot of water with me, so to speak. If we just stick to the text. The NT doesn’t really speak to mode at all. I agree that the "mechanics" of it is not in focus. I think that Westerners tend to think in terms of formulas, and a...

Re: Today ...
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. My procedure went well, though I had to stay overnight for observation. I got home today around 2pm. Many thanks to my daughter Wendy, her husband Kevin and my wife for transportation and all the help they have been to me so far. I have to wear a arm rest...

Re: Today ...

Likewise, I look forward to your voice on the forum more often. I will be out of pocket a number of days this wee...
