1 | I need to know the direct translation | Jer 2:22 | Soldier4Jesus | 154747 | ||
Hi Could it by any chance also mean to be submerged in the knowledge of Christ the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and not necessarily water? I am not questioning God with the next question but would the Word mention one word that has a specific meaning but in a different sense. If the word baptise meant all along to be baptised in water would it now mean the knowledge of God? I would appreciate any answers or opinions. Love in Christ Soldier 4 Jesus |

Hi Soldier4Jesus, (See reference #s 154700 and 154690 for this question, also). Your question of whether "the Word would mention one word that has a specific meaning", but yet mean it in a different sense; is a good one. I believe that the answer is yes. Mark 12:37 comes to mind in that we have to decide for ourselves what is meant in circumstances and context. Do we go for instance with son (see NASB) or Son (see NKJ)? In what sense was He his Son? The answer comes through studying the word of God rather than from water baptism. 1) You were given good Scriptures to consider in post #154690. Especially Ephesians 5:26. 2) I like to compare Jeremiah 2 with John 4 because they both are talking about the "fountain of living water". Jeremiah 2:13, "For My people have committed two evils: They have forsaken Me, The fountain of living waters, To hew for themselves cisterns, Broken cisterns, That can hold no water." John 4:11, "She said to Him, "Sir, You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep; where then do You get that living water?" From the heart, Ray |
