re: The Mahdi Has Appeared... what?

There is no successor to the Lord Jesus.

I just don’t care to prattle back and forth with you over comments I made in response to someone else.

you could have just thanked him for correcting your incorrect assertion.

You're wrong, bruh. The Catholic Church recognizes most other Christian sects baptisms the same as a Catholic baptism. As someone already mentioned, there are a few like Mormons and maybe Jehovah's Witness and Seventh Day Adventists that they don't.

You can convert to being Catholic (you go through the sacraments of confession, communion, and confirmation), but you don't need to be RE-baptized.

Hence, one could technically become Pope without receiving the CATHOLIC sacrament of baptism, because Catholics see all trinitarian Christian baptisms as baptisms.

doesn't sound like the work of the God of the Universe but I guess he has more important God tasks around the universe and is leaving this one to the peckerhead MEN with their peckerhead MEN matters.

In fact, what is the Catholic god doing these days? Saving children from the homies and priesties? Nope, that hasn't happened.

Better start reading some Spinoza, peckerheads. Hence.

but you could have been BAPTIZED at the 7th Avenue Baptist Church

Isn't that down yonder near Jesus Bhudda Bob's drive through baptistry?

Funny habit , dunking or spraying - early peckerhead MAN sort of thing, I reckon. Hence.

If that’s your point, I suggest you examine your own preferred god too. Because whichever god you prefer, none of them have done a damned thing to end human suffering at any level, at any point.

There'd be a hell of a lot less human suffering if all of these MAN versions of a killerGod, who has to have 5 billion peckerheads interpreting what he really means, weren't the focus of a real God (peckerhead version has a bad record)

Isn't that the dude from the first 2 mummy movies?

Any god who even made that possible is either not all-powerful, or an a-hole.

Didn't watch. Does this fella acknowledge Jesus as God????

If they are baprtized in the name of the F,S, and HS and atleast sprinkled with water, they are baptized. The church does not care where or by whom.

If there are deviations from the above, the church will do a conditional baptism since the validity of the original is unknown

You should read the book of Acts. Ya know, Peter, the first Pope....
That's NOT how they baptized. The reason it matters is because God revealed in flesh has a name, Jesus. THAT name matters. THATS "the name that every knee shall bend and every tongue confess..."

Acts 2:38-41 - On the Day of Pentecost, Peter instructs the crowd to "repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins." About 3,000 were baptized.

Acts 8:12-16 - In Samaria, Philip preached, and people believed and were baptized "in the name of the Lord Jesus." Later, Peter and John prayed for them to receive the Holy Spirit.

Acts 10:47-48 - Cornelius and his household in Caesarea were baptized "in the name of Jesus Christ" after receiving the Holy Spirit.

Acts 19:1-5 - In Ephesus, Paul encounters disciples who had received John’s baptism. He baptizes them "in the name of the Lord Jesus

Gods creation was perfect, until man fouled it up.

Man is not god’s creation?

I’m just not big on a guy who ostensibly has all power, knowledge and sentience that creates something only so that it cause itself to suffer. Unless you’re saying that suffering and sin is somehow part of perfection, which leans me to the “a-hole” part of my prior suggested dichotomy. If there “has” to be suffering, how is it possible that god is all powerful unless he’s also a sadist?
