Can John the Baptist be trusted.
First John called Jesus only Son of God and God himself.
In John 1: 17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and[b] is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.

But shortly after began to question if Jesus was even the Messiah.
Matthew 11:2 When John, who was in prison, heard about the deeds of the Messiah, he sent his disciples3 to ask him, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?”

Why or why not? 

This is a serious question

So then why did the Jesus, "the sacrificial lamb"#67 need cleansing?

To fulfill all righteousness, I.E. the law, I guess.  It wasn't because he was sinful.  The baptism may only have been significant to the ministry purification and not the sacrifice.
Jesus needed a good body wash something like a full immersion baptism before he could be sacrificed.

To be acceptable as sacrifices the animals had to meet specific criteria: first, they had to be one of those that God had declared to be clean and which could be used as food, second, they had to be domesticated, and third, they had to be free from physical flaws.
But because Jesus was crucified as a criminal . The sacrificial ceremony was skipped. The last bodily wash was at his baptism which was 3 years ago.

Which Game do You Find More Difficult, Chess or Poker?
-->
@Statichead
my input is likely redundant at this point in the thread but I agree, chess is more difficult. Poker is only chance with a side of light psychology
Chess is so difficult that a 17 year old took the world chess championship. But he was too young to play poker.

This is what a landed gentry might look like, and it isn’t pretty:


In any case, the US already has an estate tax which applies to estates of $14 million or more. Many states have it starting at $1 million.

A question about AI
AI is worse at writing than humans. If you have it write a story vs you just writing one yourself, you will get an inferior story. It just needs to be a tool to look at tone and present ideals to bounce off of it. It's either that or befriend people, and I will be damned if I add more people to my circle I have to loan money to or bail out of jail.
Looks like your only choice left is AI. Because your circle of friends are either broke or need to be bailed out of jail.

Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. 14 But John tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”
Why would John "the greatest prophet that ever lived" be so confused believing that it is himself that should be undergoing this baptismal ritual and not Jesus?

Does baptism wash away actual sin?
No, only the blood of Christ and the renewal of the Holy Spirit can cleanse us from sin. No, only the blood of Christ can cleanse us from sin.

So baptism was mainly to wash the body. John refused to wash Jesus’s body because it needed something stronger than just water, it needed the help of the Holy Spirit.

Where did John get the idea of baptism with the Holy Spirt when water failed to wash the body.
He got the idea from God. This is what God ordained, authorized, and comissioned him to do. John 1:33 “And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.”Sep 12, 2017

@CatholicApologetics
In Luke 7:18-23, why did John the Baptist ask Jesus if he was the Messiah since he baptized Jesus and heard God speak about Jesus? Did John not trust his own baptism of Jesus with water or John began to doubt Jesus?
John’s question in Luke 7:18–23 does not necessarily stem from a personal crisis of faith or distrust in the baptismal event he had administered. Rather, it reflects John’s pastoral concern and the shifting expectations surrounding the Messiah. By that point, John was imprisoned and could not witness Jesus’ ministry firsthand. He sent his disciples to question Jesus so they might see and hear the truth directly from Him. In doing so, John set the stage for his own followers to transfer their allegiance to Christ. Moreover, John’s call for confirmation highlights the mystery of God’s plan for salvation. Even though John recognized Jesus at His baptism and heard the Father’s voice, he may have struggled to reconcile the prophesied Messianic reign with the harsh realities he was experiencing in prison. This does not indicate loss of faith so much as a longing to grasp more fully the divine plan. Thus, John’s query provided Jesus the opportunity to proclaim His identity and mission more plainly, fulfilling the prophet’s role to “prepare the way of the Lord.”
John was right to be concerned about the shifting positions surrounding the Messiah. Jesus was praising God for hiding the truth from adults and revealing it to little children. Another generation was lost waiting for the children to grow up knowledgeable about God.
Matthew 11:25 At that time Jesus said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. 26 Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do.

If Christianity was true, would you become a Christian?
-->
@CatholicApologetics
Yes, Jesus did say that He came to save the world, not to condemn it. In John 3:16–18, He proclaims that God the Father sent Him out of love for all humanity, extending a universal invitation to salvation. He assures us that “whoever believes in Him” will gain eternal life. This demonstrates that salvation in Christ is broadly offered to everyone, not restricted by ethnicity, social standing, or any other human classification. At the same time, Jesus’ words call for a response: to believe in Him as Savior and to follow His teachings. The emphasis is not on excluding people, but on affirming that God’s grace and truth come specifically through His only-begotten Son. Far from being closed-off, the Church sees this teaching as “catholic,” meaning universal, because it is meant for all. It is an invitation open to every human person—yet an invitation that must be freely accepted. Hence, while Christ alone is the way of salvation, His arms are stretched wide for the entire world.
Jesus’s original mission was more limited.
It is recorded in Matthew 15: 24 “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.” Remember, God chose the Israelite's as his own and He was their God. If you were drawn to God, you didn't remain a Gentile and worship God, you were circumcised as a male and became Jewish.

Jesus expanded his mission after his resurrection. After he was rejected by the Jews and crucified. So the Jews should be credited for changing Jesus’s mind and not the Romans who crucified him.
Mark 16:15 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.

@IlDiavolo
If christianity were true, then all the religions would be false, which means more than 2/3 of the world population would go to hell. 

That'd be the most fvcking stupid and unjust statement that someone would ever say.
How about Jesus saying he was going to save the world?  It’s Christianity that wants to be exclusive.

Did Jesus say that he came to save the world?
And in John 3:16–18, Jesus said: “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.

It's also just a batshit ignorant understanding of human nature. No one expects when meeting a celebrity that they're going to walk up to you and just start kissing you or grabbing you by your pussy. That's the kind of thing that takes a few moments to process, you cannot consent to something when you don't even realize what's happening to you. What is far, far more likely to happen is that a woman will freeze as they try to process what's happening. That's basic common sense and nearly every story told by a woman who's even been assaulted will tell you a similar story.
That is exactly what Trump did to E Jean Carroll and 20 other women who accused him of sexual assault.

In Luke 7:18-23, why did John the Baptist ask Jesus if he was the Messiah since he baptized Jesus and heard God speak about Jesus? Did John not trust his own baptism of Jesus with water or John began to doubt Jesus?
My personal opinion is that John had figured that since he was the forerunner of Christ that he would be living pretty high as the Messiah would "restore the kingdom" and he figured like the rest of the Jews, the actual nation of Israel and drive out the Romans from their land.  He would be able to eat at the king's table with honor, BUT when he was in prison, he started to doubt this.  When troubles started coming, then his faith started getting low and he asked again through his disciples about Jesus. Jesus was making it clear to John because of the miracles he performed, so, somehow, that was something that would jog his memory or set him at ease. 
After John heard God. Matthew 3:16 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. 17 And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”

He was surprised Jesus could not help him even as the Messiah during his time in prison. His doubts were justified. John was beheaded.
 
Why did John ask if Jesus is the Messiah?
The question being posed here suggests John was grappling with doubt. He has heard about what Jesus has been doing, and he has sent his disciples to Jesus with a question: Are you the one who was to come, or should we look for someone else? In short, John the Baptist was asking if Jesus was really the Messiah.
