1 | John Baptist's Jewish legal credentials? | OT general | JCrichton | 134076 | ||
Hi, Reighnskye! I think that you are missing the point altogether... As God, Jesus could have orchestrated His incarnation in a Mansion of earthly riches... He did not! There was a big to do about John... the people dismissed his mother's offering of the name because there was no such name in his ancestry--they refused to accept John as the infant's name till the father, who was unable to speak due to an act of God, wrote down the name "John" to designate his new born son--at this particular time Zachary gained his speaking abilities! Another particular point which seems to have eluded you is the fact that the status quo was never interested in Jesus nor in John ("What have you gone to see in the desert?" "The Son of man eats and drinks...")... and how accessible to the poor and sinners would John and Jesus had been if they would've been part of the Temple's facade? John the Baptist was separated from birth (no fruit of the grape--herald of the Lord) to bring the News of the coming change: the New Covenant of God with man... he had to be free to travel to pave the way for the Messiah! His authority came directly from Yahweh! God Bless! Angel |

Angel, I'm sorry if you feel that your particular points had eluded me altogether. I had actually opened this thread as a question to gain clarification for myself on a few points of doctrine. - Blessings, Reighnskye |

Hi, Reighnskye! Please do not misunderstand my posts... when I reply I take into consideration that both believers and nonbelievers (including anti-Christians) may read through the posts... so my reply is generalized... I may have the tendency of having poor choice of vocabulary when addressing the thread... but be assured that your quest (as well as that of all) for clarification is never received in a derogatory manner by me. If you feel I have wrong you in any way or if my offering is not clear enough, please feel free to demand clarification/explanation on any part or all parts of my post! God Bless! Angel |
