I hate to burst your bubble with your expertise on the Greek language with regards to the word BAPTIZO referring to water. The very first time the word BAPTIZO was used was during the period of 1200 – 800 BC in the classical epic Homeric poems. Homer coined the word when a sword was plunged into blood to show association. The first use of the word had nothing to do with water but blood. You can find it in the works of Homer in the Odyssey if you want the exact etymology. The word, BAPTIZO with the cognate BAPTO was carried over into the Koine Greek by originator of the Common or Koine Greek, Alexander the Grate. Have a nice day, CDBJ |
