What is Baptism?
Baptism is a Christian sacrament of admission and adoption, almost invariably with the use of water into Christianity. The canonical Gospels report that Jesus was baptized. Baptism has been called a holy sacrament and an ordinance of Jesus Christ. In some denominations, baptism is also called
christening, but for others the word 'christening' is reserved for the baptism of infants. Baptism has also given its name to the Baptist churches and denominations. The usual form of baptism among the earliest Christians was for the candidate to be immersed, either totally (submerged completely under the water) or partially (standing or kneeling in water while water was poured on him or her). |
What is Docetism?
In Christianity, docetism is the doctrine that the phenomenon of Christ, his historical and bodily existence, and above all the human form of Jesus, was mere semblance without any true reality. Broadly it is taken as the belief that Jesus only seemed to be human, and that his human form was an
illusion. It appears to have arisen over theological contentions concerning the meaning, figurative or literal, of a sentence from the Gospel of John: "the Word was made Flesh". Docetism was unequivocally rejected at the First Council of Nicaea in 325 AD and is regarded as heretical by the Catholic Church, Orthodox Church, Coptic Church and other Christian denominations. |

The founder, Lorence Yufa states, we try to give the atheist and skeptic community a new set of tools that are seldom used in discussions with theists. We concentrate primarily
on in depth looks at the history of the bible and religion in general. We have many series and videos on comparative mythology and textual history. We also feature videos on esoteric topics that we find interesting in studies of religion. |
