I misspoke. The New Testament was written in Koine Greek, not Aramaic, but some of it was probably copied from Aramaic texts.Except that Jesus spoke Aramaic, not Greek.

I didn't claim the New Testament was written in Aramaic, only that that was Jesus' native tongue.I misspoke. The New Testament was written in Koine Greek, not Aramaic, but some of it was probably copied from Aramaic texts.
I did in an earlier post claim that.I didn't claim the New Testament was written in Aramaic, only that that was Jesus' native tongue.
Since Jesus said in John 12:48 that the words he spoke would judge us on the last day and Paul affirms that all scripture is inspired by God (authorized by Christ) and is for my salvation, I’ll say your charge is absolutely true.
You ‘re right about this.It's pointless to argue with them, as you can tell here. They've made up their minds and their necks are stiff and hearts hard.
You know, I have to admit you are correct.In this verse as well as many others...AND is a conjunction and joins together belief AND baptism to equal salvation.
I see you still haven't comprehended exactly what eternal life is.You said there's never been an instance of a redeemed sinner losing his soul. How would you know that?
Judgement day for a believer happened the moment they trusted the finished work of Christ.The Day of Judgement hasn't arrived
I agree.Thinking that I'm saved no matter what I do will certainly lead to my destruction.
If you look at the other gospel that recounts that circumstance you'll see that both thieves were reviling Christ. What was interpreted as paradise into English should have been interpreted as "the ground." And I may have missed those verses so could you please cite the verses where Jesus commanded the Romans baptize that thief?You know, I have to admit you are correct.
I clearly remember the story of one thief dying on a cross beside God the creator.
God the creator (cloaked in human flesh) clearly told the thief ,
And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.
Then He commanded the Roman soldiers to loose the thief from the cross and take him to the river and baptize him for the remission of his sins.
I remember that story completely.
I think he told the soldiers the thief had believed unto salvation, now loose him and let him go get his mail.
Chastising in the inimitable @floridays style.You know, I have to admit you are correct.

It's called sarcasm.If you look at the other gospel that recounts that circumstance you'll see that both thieves were reviling Christ.

The “Good Thief” who reviled Jesus, repented and asked for forgiveness. You need to read more thoroughly.If you look at the other gospel that recounts that circumstance you'll see that both thieves were reviling Christ. What was interpreted as paradise into English should have been interpreted as "the ground." And I may have missed those verses so could you please cite the verses where Jesus commanded the Romans baptize that thief?
One forkful at a time!It's called sarcasm.
You are correct, He didn't say that.
Think of all the controversy that could have been averted if water baptism was necessary to complete His work.
Just loose the guy and wash him down.
I agree one must be baptized, the baptism isn't water baptism however.
Water baptism is a picture of the one true baptism.
@Fred's Myth
I took another bite of the elephant.
How does one eat an elephant?
You will be the only one that comprehends.
Another unresponsive response.Pilot and Herod are friends.
Sweet.
Another unresponsive response.
That's true.You know nothing.
The thief died on a different side of the cross than you. Old law. Also Jesus could forgive sins anytime, anywhere, when he walked on the earth.
There were no Christians until 50 days after Jesus' death when in Acts 2, 3000 people responded did exactly what Jesus' told the his disciples to preach.
On this side of the cross ( after his death, burial and resurrection ) Jesus commanded (commissioned, the Great Commission in fact) the gospel to be preached was He that believes and is baptized shall be saved. He forgives sin now by obeisance to what to the gospel that is preached.
Mark 16:15&16 ''Go into all the world and preach the gospel, He that thinks he can be saved like the thief on the cross just has to believe it. -Floridays (Not Jesus)
I accept that compliment.
