1 | Verses where water alone means baptism? | John 3:5 | DocTrinsograce | 134553 | ||
Yes, of course it is, Emmaus. I'm happy to hear it. We'd rather let the Word do its own interpreting, thank you. We tend to find it more persuasive that way. These sorts of interpretations are important enough to apply a scholarly lucubration rather than leave them to the prescribed, traditional opinions of others, no matter how joyfully embraced. (By this, of course, I mean you to take no offence. It is only offered by way of explanation.) On the other hand, maybe you can find something Jerome had to say on this passage, it might offer some insight. Anything else? Maybe there is a record of deliberation on this topic somewhere in Romish literature that predates your authorities decision to permit only the single view? Thank you, again, for your comments. |

Doc, "Romish" is a pejorative term if I am not mistaken. Of course I am sure you mean no offense. Emmaus |

Some dictionaries do, indeed, describe it as offensive. I've been re-reading Foxe's Book of Martyrs. He uses the term frequently, but apparently without anchor. Some of the martyrs were much more explictly derogatory in their epithets. No, indeed, I meant no offence. Forgive my solecism. Since it troubles you, I will avoid the use of the word in the future. |

I think Dalcent would call them "wellies," if I recollect correctly. No doubt a valuable piece of equipment with as much magniloquence on dogma as we get around here. Maybe we should change the title to Opinion Study Forum. :-) | ||||||
