To you is Christ God and Man (This is what Christianity has always believed) ?Never said Christ was not a man. I was raise as a mormon so it has a meaning you do not understand lest you have been taught the mormon doctrine. I know who Christ is.
Good topic.
I used to believe that evolution could be compatible with creation- that God might have used evolution to create man. I now understand how incompatible the Bible and evolution are. And yes, I am a YEC now.
I'm aware of your position on this subject, but it doesn't change the fact of what Scripture explicitly states and what Christianity has always taught.

You people love to say what Christianity has always taught don't you? What is the earliest SPECIFIC mention of infant baptism? Don't give me the household garbage either, that is ambiguous at best. I want a specific example with a specific date attached to it, so we can all see just how long it has "always been taught".
Some people cannot differentiate between what their church teaches and what "Christianity has always taught", I'm afraid...
I'd sure like an ontological explanation of the being of "Christianity" since "taught" is teaching and teaching requires persons or a being to communicate teaching, and "Christianity" is a word used to describe a particular religion with a number of shared beliefs. I'd also like to know it has "always" taught, since Christianity started out as Judaism. The statement is about as precise as many bumper stickers I have read.
Christianity did not start out as Judaism. Christianity began with Jesus Christ, "the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world" (Rev. 13:8) and this was long before there was ever a nation of Israel or a Jew upon the earth.

So Christ wasn't a rabbi and Peter and John never recorded as going to the temple to worship, is that it?

Just wondering, why do you believe that God never used the process of evolution for his plans?

That would be in the Acts of the Apostles chapter two where saint Peter, the first pope, says, "Turn back to God! Be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, so that your sins will be forgiven. Then you will be given the Holy Spirit. This promise is for you and your children. It is for everyone our Lord God will choose, no matter where they live." (Acts 2:38-39) - One hopes that the 'garbage' you do not want to see is not a reference to sacred scripture. In any case, the scripture is about God's promise that is put into effect through repentance and baptism for parents and their children. Truly if the promise is for both the parent and the child then it is effected in the same manner for both, that is, through baptism. And since baptism is a work of God which cleanses one from sins and incorporates one into the body of the Lord, Jesus Christ, then what counts is God's intention in the act of baptism....

It is a little bit disturbing to see your post referring to household baptism as 'garbage' but perhaps it is something else that you intend to call garbage - maybe the doctrine which recognises baptism as an act of God rather than a human act of testimony about having come to personal belief in Jesus Christ and repentance for one's sins?Don't give me the household garbage either
The specific date would be about 33 AD, on the day of Pentecost., that is ambiguous at best. I want a specific example with a specific date attached to it, so we can all see just how long it has "always been taught".
