Thank you William. Jesus was proclaiming He was the Messiah. The source of the world's evil is sin, rebellion and pride; Adam's and each of ours. Jesus was also proclaiming the Good News of forgiveness of sin, freedom from bondage to sin, and eternal salvation by repentance and faith in Him (not the church) as Lord and as personal savior.

Miller: do us Baptists, or Keith (RC), have a hope of salvation without being baptized in a Church of Christ church? (Mark 16:16)

Also not a good topic for pleasant conversation at a Baptist potluck wink
