Is it valid to use grape juice at Communion? Personally I think it's fine (our church does wine and juice), but it's also silly when churches have welch's and ritz crackers, imo. Trivializes things. |

Is Matthew 28 saying something about Baptism? @Jim I don't want to do it here, but if you ask a question on it (actually, i think a question has already been asked) we can discuss it there (comments, answers, etc.) |

Is Matthew 28 saying something about Baptism? @Jim oh, just that i'm a Paedobaptist, so I just disagree in general :) and hashing out the disagreement is an entirely separate question. I agree though, Matt 28 can't stand on its own as a statement about baptism. |

Is Matthew 28 saying something about Baptism? @Jim i like the revised answer! I disagree, but that's no reason to DV, and I think you make a good point. +1 |

What is the Biblical basis and support for and against the view of predestination? Theologians often make a distinction between God's prescriptive will (what he commands) and his decretive will (what he directs to actually happen). We'd say that "will" in Matt. 6:10 is prescriptive will, which goes along with "thy kingdom come". |

Why does the Messiah have to be God? People seem to misunderstand my questions a lot... (alternatively, I'm bad at asking them), but this is interesting. Essentially, what you're saying is that since only God could redeem people from their sins, God had to be involved in every part of the process? (or something like that) |

Why does the Messiah have to be God? @LoveTheFaith ah, good point. I'll make the edit. |

Why does the Messiah have to be God? @LoveTheFaith perhaps, except that the Bible says Jesus was the Messiah, so it comes out to the same thing. |

Why does the Messiah have to be God? I'm just wondering why Jesus had to be God. Some people say it's because he had to be perfect. But if the Catholics are right (if Mary was sinless) then God could have just created Jesus sinless (without him being God.), so I'm wondering if there's a deeper reason that Jesus had to be God. |

Why does the Messiah have to be God? @Hammer neither. I'm simply asking why Jesus had to be God, and, assuming Mary was sinless, especially why did Jesus have to be God if he could just be a sinless human. |
