Ancestry.com To Add DNA Test Results
Spamicles writes "For less than $200 and a cheek-swiped cotton swab, you will soon be able to add DNA results to family tree Web sites. Ancestry.com plans to launch the DNA testing product by the end of summer, offering customers the possibility of finding DNA matches in the site's 24,000 genealogical databases. By taking a simple cheek-swab test and comparing results against DNA profiles in a test-results database, virtually anyone can uncover genealogical associations unimaginable just a few years ago. Users can easily connect with and discover lost or unknown relatives within a few generations, as well as gain insight into where their families originated thousands of years ago."
Just for the record: Paul is just mentioning the fact that a group from Corinth is baptizing for the dead, he (neither the Bible) is endorsing it.
Oh c'mon...how many "yer mom"s do we get on slashdot?
Too many, as the mods have now pointed out to you...
That's interesting, because the way I read it it sounds to me like more than a mention--He's using it as support for doctrine he's teaching. Why would Paul use something that they're doing that is doctrinally deviant as support for something that he is teaching as truth? It seems to me that he would at least mention--in his letter that is already intended as correction--that they shouldn't be baptizing for the dead.
