I've been reading about the sacrament of baptism a lot lately, and I have some questions about the historical tradition of how baptism has been performed.

As I understand it Biblically, baptisms were performed on believers, and potentially on the children of believers (as indicated by Paul saying that "entire households" were baptised. But I've been under the impression (possibly incorrectly) that the practice of infant baptism developed early in the history of the church, and gradually (at what point?) became the standard practice of the church until the 1600's at some point, when the Reformation more or less introduced "older, believer-only baptism".

Is this correct? Is it safe to say that the standard for roughly the first 1000 years of the church was infant baptism?

I continue to research the issue, so I'm not completely sure about this, but I'd be interested in hearing some answers, with maybe a link or two.

Serious answers only please. Thanks

I'm a picky eater and would like someone to compare the tastes before I decided if I want to spend the money on them. I don't have the money to randomly choose foods to buy and try.
Which are sweeter, more mild, strongest flavor, etc? And any ways of preparation are also appreciated.

Thanks,

I read a lot of rude, mean-spirited, and down-right evil things about atheists here. If you are truly a Christian, and follow the teachings of Jesus, why are you so judgemental towards the atheists? Jesus said, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." So, my question is, since so many stones are being cast, do you really think you are without sin? Do you put yourself above Jesus in this area? I welcome any answers.

Why do you need a 4x4 if you live in a huge city?

I know everyone has their choice, but I live in the sticks and own a caravan and horses so feel justified in having a 4x4 to get around the place efficiently (not a huge, top of the range one either)
But I see other women drivers especially, who drive them in cities and wonder whether they know what hill decent/4 wheel drive etc are really for?!

Ps I do, and use it a lot out here.

what is your opinion?

Ok, so about three years ago I went through a HORRIBLE break up. He was an absolute Jack *A*... and for a while, I couldn't talk to him, stand the sight or thought of him (mainly because I wasn't over him)...

I've moved on to someone TEN TIMES better than my ex was, but I was browsing myspace (yes, I know myspace'll get ya) and I stumbled across my Ex's page. Now I'm uber tempted to send him a message just to say "hey" and see how he's been.

I have NO INTEREST whatsoever in getting back with him, it's just that time has healed old wounds...

So should I write him, or just leave it be? And could I PLEASE have a reason for either answer???

THANKS A BUNCH!!!

I'm a single mom with 2 children, ages 4 & 5. We've all been living with my mom while I grew my online business. Now I want to move out, but she's upset about us moving away. (I want in-home therapy for my autistic son, but she doesn't want therapists in her house all day, which is understandable, but I can't just put it off!) So now she's telling me that we can't take anything she's bought for the kids with us when we go, like their beds, toys, & clothes. These items were not bought for general household or guest usage, they were bought as presents for my kids alone. It's not like I'm trying to take an antique table! I just want the items my kids are used to having as part of their routines.

The "funny" thing is that when I was a child, she flat out told me that everything given to ME, actually belonged to HER, since I was only a minor. Far cry from what she's claiming now.

So can I legally take my children's things with us when we move? I can't afford to replace them

I do not mean to offend any one. Sadly, there seems to be an increase of male sexual predators. More horrific, are the reports of men raping children. As a mother, it really frightens me and I am afraid that I will see every man as a threat. I am very interested to hear from the men, and what are their thoughts on male sexual predators. Has it made you feel misjudged? Do you feel a need to prove that not all men are capable of doing such horrible things? Do you feel that the male indentity has been hijacked by sexual predators?
