I responded by asking her what sins Jesus Christ had removed when John the Baptist Baptized him.

non sequitur. John the Baptist didn't administer Christian baptism, and Jesus was God in the flesh who had no sin.

Campion: "John the Baptist didn't administer Christian baptism, and Jesus was God in the flesh who had no sin."

So what kind of baptism is Matthew 3 talking about? Satanic baptism?

Matthew 3

4 And John himself was clothed in camel's hair, with a leather belt around his waist; and his food was locusts and wild honey. 5 Then Jerusalem, all Judea, and all the region around the Jordan went out to him 6 and were baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.


And you are correct that Jesus was without sin, which is exactly the point wmfights was making - why did Jesus ask John to baptize Him?
