I believe that baptism is common to Christianity, Judaism and Islam, and that all three would probably see it as pointing back to Abraham crossing the Euphrates as he made his way from Ur to the promised land and later, of Moses leading the Children of Israel out of Egypt and across the Red Sea.

Could you please explain what role it plays in your belief system?
When and why does it takes place?
Do you have debates about baptismal regeneration in your religion?

No replies from Christians please.

An indication of your school of thought/teaching would be appreciated.

I have thought about learning it but I also visit Germany,Spain,Italy,Switzerland,Netherlands,Sweden and Finland. Does that mean I should learn German,Spanish,Italian,Dutch, Swiss and God forbid Finnish? Wouldn't it make more sense if all the Europeons got together and spoke one language? Would make it much simplier for us Americans.. The Euro was a good start

I know that our dreams come from our subconscious, but how do we stop dreaming something we don't want to dream? It is not a nightmare, just a dream. Does satan influence our dreams in hope that we might sin?

I have used the online translators, but they always give something that is not actually used in Greece. It's my friend's birthday today and I just want to make a sign for her in Greek.

Thank you!

......do people only seem to care when rich (mainly) white people die. The reaction and news coverage of that terrible day was incredible.

The thing is on that same day 3000 people in Africa died of hunger and disease and 3000 have died every day since.

Do you see blanket news coverage of this on TV and people far away crying over it ? No .

Are these lives not as important as rich western lives ?

Does a truth become a lie or made null and void just because no one will believe it and stand up for it?
