re the doctrine of original sin if babies are not supposed to be baptised then why doesn t the bible ever say so it never comes right and says only people that know right from wrong or who are taught can be baptised this is not a very sound argument for baptising babies it assumes that if the bible doesn t say specifically that you don t need to do something then that must mean that you do need to do it i know there s a specific term for this form of logic but it escapes me right now however if it were sound then you should be able to apply it this way if the bible doesn t specifically say that something is wrong then it must be ok which coincidentally leads perfectly into a question i ve often pondered if slavery is immoral which i believe it is can i assume that everyone else in this group does too why doesn t jesus or any of the apostles speak out against it owning slaves was common practice back then paul speaks about everything else that is immoral he apparently thought it was important enough to talk about things like not being a drunkard why doesn t anyone mention slavery if god s morals are eternal and don t change like the morals of society then it must have been just as immoral then as it is today
