I don't know.theseed said:Why don't Quakers baptize when Jesus told us to?
Because they're sinners.Lollard said:I don't know.
Why don't many Baptists love their neighbor as themselves and love God with all their heart and mind? That I believe was a command.
Because it fits, and its funny.Crystal71503 said:why is "we dont splash babies" even an option?
I think you misunderstand.since when is making a mochary of other religions funny?
i misread this part, but i dont understand the "its funny in a historical way"eldermike said:The name we now have, was mocking us. it's funny in a historical way.
And bible believers would not be offensive? Implying that others don't believe the bible?Crystal71503 said:could you please explain i dont understand what you mean? I didnt mean it was mocking us, i was talking about Catholics and Lutherans, people who still baptize infants, if i were one of them i would be fairly offended, actually being baptist im offended and quite disappointed.
Well actually i am not defending it, only explaining it. But now that I consider your point I'll have to defer to the one who proposed it, they may have a different context than I do.i misread this part, but i dont understand the "its funny in a historical way"
Why are you trying to possibly start an argument with the Quakers?theseed said:Because they're sinners.
Why are you being so caustic?
Sidney Lucas said:The sacraments of baptism and the Lord's Supper have no place in Quaker Meetings. All life being considered a religious sacrament, occasional ceremonies were thought to obscure the need for continual spiritual striving, and just as a special oath was dispensed with by speaking the truth at all times, in the same way special sacraments were considered unnecessary. Sidney Lucas, The Quaker Story (New York: Harper & Brothers Publishers 1949), 52.
Well if you want to put it that way, then any of the names that we can choose from could be offensive.theseed said:And bible believers would not be offensive? Implying that others don't believe the bible?
I would only possibly be trying to start an argument if I only possibly wanted to argue.Lollard said:Why are you trying to possibly start an argument with the Quakers?
Why add in the "when Jesus told us to"? Why not just ask the direct question of why Quakers don't baptize? Why take a jab at them with the latter half as if they don't care what Jesus said?
So I asked why don't Baptists love their neighbors... as Jesus said, to personalize it the way you did.
But to answer your question:
But you are a grown up and now how the game is played. Making statements the way you did, normally leads to arguements / fights / disagreements.theseed said:I would only possibly be trying to start an argument if I only possibly wanted to argue.
Ahh so it is efficiency you want. Then why not do as I did and type in Quakers and baptism on google, and get the same answer I did, and avoid all this nonsense to begin with? That would have given you what you desired: The knowledge of why without the extra work involved.Am I not allowed to have 2 part questions? It should be quite obvious and seeming logical on why I would add the clause. If I did not think Jesus told us to, then I would not even have asked it. If I asked only "Why do Quakers not baptize", only later to have to ask "But Jesus told us too", would be inefficent.
No, but it does speak of at all times try to make peace. Romans 12:18 "If it is possible, as far as is in you, being in peace with all men." You do what ever you want and take what I say with a grain of salt. Just ignore me.Moreover, where does the bible say that we should not arue at all? I believe it only says that we should avoid useless arguments--there is a difference.

Could define an anabaptist?seebs said:I think we fit better here than with the other groups; clearly an offshoot of the anabaptists.
