Great explanation🙏

Thank you for explanation really help to improve my faith

Please explain why it’s justifiable to baptize infants who are not aware of what’s happening versus the way John the Baptist baptized, and the way Jesus himself was baptized: as an adult. The Bible speaks of being born again out of the water, that baptism decision that you make to follow Jesus.

The practice of infant Baptism is an immemorial tradition of the Church. There is explicit testimony to this practice from the second century on, and it is quite possible that, from the beginning of the apostolic preaching, when whole 'households' received baptism, infants may also have been baptized. When the first direct evidence of infant Baptism appears in the second century, it is never presented as an innovation. 2nd-century Irenaeus treated baptism of infants as a matter of course, and that, "at a Synod of African Bishops, St. Cyprian stated that 'God's mercy and grace should not be refused to anyone born', and the Synod, recalling that 'all human beings' are 'equal', whatever be 'their size or age', declared it lawful to baptize children 'by the second or third day after their birth'" What is unusual in Christianity is the novel idea of denying baptism to people based on their youth. This was one of the many unfortunate errors introduced by the anti-Church Protestants during the 16th century, when they chose to abandon and deny the previous 1500 years of normal Catholic (and Orthodox) practices.

@@17cmmittlererminenwerfer81 I REALLY appreciate your kind and informative reply, it's nice to be able to discuss without insults or unkind words. I have to still go back to the many times that St. Paul himself talks about being baptized as a sign of our own faith, a personal declaration of our decision to follow Christ. Paul predated second century church. Again, I truly am curious.

@@HarveyHomeSchoolMommaBeing a baptised Catholic (obviously at quite an early age), i renew my baptism every single week when I enter my Church for Holy Mass and touch the holy water in the stoup and make the sign of the cross infront of the altar and being witnessed by the laity. I truly thank my parents for doing that for me and there is simply nothing wrong with any of it - from experience :)

Disagree very much so, but can understand where it comes from

I dont really get how this explains anything...

You need faith first, then the explanation doesn't matter. Take as an example the sacrament of marriage. Jesus went to a wedding. The end. It would make more sense if wine making were a sacrament. At least Jesus made some wine on demand.

That is why it has withstood the test of time inspite of repeated onslaught both from within and outside, and assimilated every good aspects from everything . That is why it is eternal !!! There is a saying in Rigveda , the first book ever known to mankind which depicts the Hinduism philosophy in a Nutshell -" Ano bhadrah Krathavo Yanthu Vishwathah"- Let the knowledge come to us from every direction.

🙏Sounds great, but no thanks. ✝️I want to Know my creator, and his son Jesus who save me from the Sting of death , by paying for ALL my debt(disobedience ) to God the Father/and creator. since he became one of us, By taking flesh from Mary Now God is my father because Jesus is fully Divine and fully human born of a woman, now HE IS ONE OF US IN EVERYTHING EXCEPT IN SIN(disobedience to God). Jesus is the only way to heaven, He came from heaven,he knows the way back. Prayer has many forms worship, adoration, only to God. Petitions, Thanksgiving and intersession God and saints.

If that is all one lives for; beer (Beer is great), drugs (have a family member who died from drugs, it destroys family and robs people from loved ones), and sex (using women for self gratification, and risk contracting a STD), etc. You do not need to be Christian to recognized it would be sad miserable empty life.
