Cardinal Arinze is awesome. I wish all our leaders were as clear on orthodox Catholic teaching. Not like alot of western wishy-washy bishops who don't want to offend anyone.

He's right. It's a waste of time for those of you who say, "Never mind the Fact,s I've made up my Mind." BTW, about a year ago in Bible study we talked about the Misconception the Protestents have about the bible being Canonized in the 1500's. I'd go ask our Instructor for the Info, But your not interested in the Facts. I'll take Pope Alexanders advice, I think it's good. Because this is a waste of time.

Do not forget that Christ himself got baptized by Saint John ! For our sake, not for his own !

Arinze must be next pope. ¿Jesús pidió a Juan que lo Bautizara en Agua si o no? Sí, lo hizo. ¿Si o no? ¡Sí! ¿Entonces? Palabras, palabras... Por qué no entiende el Protestante que Dios enseñó con el ejemplo y no con un Libro. En todo caso Dios habría mandado escribir un libro exacto. Sin embargo, prefirió la Tradición. Estudió la Sagrada escritura, sí, pero no escribió ningún libro. Nos dejó la Tradición. Jesús sabía que los libros se Terjiversan.

@drbible1611 According to the teaching of the Holy Roman Catholic Church for the past 2000 years. Of course, you know better...

[drbible1611]

@vonMohl Evidently according to RC private interpretation but not according to the Holy Scriptures.

Bottom line-Arinze ADDED to the word of God by claiming Christ said BAPTISM when He didn't!

Using your logic when a woman gives birth her "baptism breaks"????

[TheChurchAuthentic]

@vonMohl

"...baptism now saves you" (1Pet 3 :21).

[vonMohl]

@drbible1611 Be born of water - By "water," here, is evidently signified "baptism." Thus the word is used in Ephesians 5:26; Titus 3:5.

[TheChurchAuthentic]

@vonMohl

"and this fellow is going in where angels are afraid to go in."

[drbible1611]

Mr Arinze added to the word of God! Christ NEVER said "unless a person be BAPTIZED of water..." He said: "except a man be BORN of water..."

Another example of RC private interpretation!

Pro 30:6 "Add thou [ARINZE] not unto his words, lest he reprove thee [ARINZE], and thou [ARINZE] be found a LIAR"

"Extra Jesus Christus Nulla Salus"

@nofearinlove418 I'd wish to answer your question but cannot do that since I can't be aware of all true teology in all aspects of christianity. If a blind person leads a blind person they both will fall away, Jesus once said. I've been studying this. One theory is that in the letter to Romans Paulus was talking about the Jewish law (thora for example) but that good works are needed for salvation anyway. That is just one theory which in my opinion we need to study.
