Thanks Alan

Which do you think is the most important verse in the bible.  No correct answer but it would be interesting to see what others think.

Hard to bring it down to a single verse as too often a verse is just part of a thought.

So I think the most important passage would be :

              "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men.  And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not." (John 1:1-5)

Why? because here we see several vital, foundational truths:

                        1: God created all-He is above all, Creator, God and therefore all creation is responsible to Him.

                        2: Jesus, the Word, is God, and He, as God, is Creator

                        3: Jesus is Life and Light-therefore, apart from Him there is neither light or life.

                       4: Finally, knowing all this, we can safely know that it is to Him that we are to seek eternal life, for he created life, and IS life, and he alone can give life to the spirit.

All truth is wrapped up in what is found in this passage.

Revelation 22:21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

John 

3:16

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

[Invicta]

All good answers, but my thoughts were Gen 1: 1 ¶  In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. because if ypou don't believe that, you undermine all the teaching of the scriptures,

Since it's been a week, I'll go ahead and ask a new question. :)

 

Who was a herdman and a gatherer of sycomore fruit?

[Rebecca]

Correct! :)

Amos 7:14 "Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son; but I was an herdman, and a gatherer of sycomore fruit."

 

It is now your turn to ask a question!

What is needed in order to be baptized?

Something to be immersed in.

Either the Spirit, water, a cloud in the wilderness... :Q

[Orval]

Acts 8:36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?

Acts 8:37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
Acts 8:38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
Acts 8:39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.

confession and water.

Orval, I'm sure your answer was more in line with what Bro Stafford was looking for. It's more doctrinal and less literal. Go ahead and carry on...I was just being "cheeky".

[No Nicolaitans]

My answer is in two parts.

Part 1: As Orval pointed out, Acts 8:36-37.

Part 2: It requires...

a) a true believer

b) a baptizer

c) water deep enough for immersion.

Who's turn to ask a question?

Did I just ask a question?  

Was it my turn? 

Did I speak out of turn?

I think the literal answer I gave to an overly-vague question blew the whole shebang off course. I should apologize I suppose, but I found it mildly entertaining. Bad me. :) Alan, why don't you get things started off again?
