Yeah tho, my uncle was a bad alcoholic
One day he got drunk and fell on the bathtub.
That was it for 'em
I was (or, am) the alcoholic of the family
doesn't help that the family kinda knows after a 3 day bender at a wedding
oh crap it's 2:00 Am
I gotta go to bed actually
See you.
Alcohol is psychological poison
Dats Rite
Thas right

Fug

DD:
It is if you're weak of mind
I definitely needed a good trashing to unwind last friday
If you get too drunk, it's literally always poison.
Oh, spam is delicious.
This is coming from somebody who has often been shamefully drunk.
we've all been there
Though, alcohol within reason is perfectly fine, if not quite beneficial.
If you are 100% anti-alcohol, you are quite possibly a puritan. And that is very bad.
Baptists.are Muslims
NO ICONS
NO SAINTS
NO ALCOHOL
Trinitarian Muslims
baptists are funny bunch
they don't believe in infant baptism
Baptism is the new circumcsion
yet they are sola scriptura to the extreme
where the scriptures mention infant baptism
Last I checked, no baby ever asked to be circumcised
Or baptized either
consent is for fags
"This promise is for you and your children."
And all the household baptisms
And "children" is "teknon" which means "children," not "descendants"
If Luke wanted to say "descendants," he would have written "sperma"
Joachim Jeremias has the best defense of infant baptism IMO. He wrote two books defending it against Kurt Aland, who argues it didn't start till the late 2nd century (though he thinks we should still do it because he's Presbyterian)
I've come across that argument sometimes, that in the early church baptism was often put off until the person was on his deathbed, so that its justifying power would be like how you wait until after a workout to shower. Constantine was one of those, iirc.
It doesn't square with scriptural descriptions of new converts being baptized immediately, though.
