1 | john the baptist | Acts 19:3 | JeffBradt | 170187 | ||
Like I said in another posting, John was humble enough to admit he wasn't the Savior. John 1:19-34 illustrates this beautifully, showing that John believed the truth that Jesus, not John himself, is the Messiah. John didn't baptize people into his own name, but used a "baptism of repentance." You will find this quote all over the New Testament in reference to how John baptized. I believe John baptized people into Jesus before Jesus was there to oversee it. And I think that Jesus didn't do a lot of baptizing himself. He mostly let the apostles do it after showing them how. At least the evidence indicates that. Anyway, they were definitely not worshiping John just because it's him who baptized them. Do you worship your preacher? | ||||||
2 | Is masturbation a sin ?scripture confirm | 1 Corinthians | JeffBradt | 170181 | ||
Eph 5:3 masturbation is a form of impurity. Col 3:5 You can't masturbate without lust. Ever try to masturbate without thinking about a woman?(Here's that word impurity again too.) 2Cor 12:21 sensuality is also a sin, and masturbation is definitely sensual. Gal 5:19, Ep 4:19 And finally, 1Tim 4:12 Let's be examples to others who are trying to learn and follow the Bible. |

3 | Are tongues a world language or not? | 1 Corinthians | JeffBradt | 170168 | ||
"over fourteen foreigners representing many nations" 14 foreigners doesn't matter. It's the number of nations that's the question. In vv. 9-11 is where it says how many areas were represented and yes, there were more than 12. But what if each of them talked in more than one foreign tongue? I tend to agree with Aspiring: the Scripture seems to point to the apostles themselves in 2:1 because it says, "...he was numbered with the eleven apostles. And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, THEY were all..." (1:26-2:1) (emphasis added). There were no chapters or verses, or even the same punctuations we have now, in the Hebrew, so we need to very carefully read all the context. It takes a lot of time but I'm sure you agree. Hope that helps. J. P. |
