103 | John Baptist's Jewish legal credentials? | OT general | Reighnskye | 134249 | ||
EdB, You quoted from the Holman Bible Dictionary as follows: "At some point close to the time of Jesus, Judaism began a heavy emphasis on ritual washings to cleanse from impurity. This goes back to priestly baths prior to offering sacrifices (Lev. 16:4,24). Probably shortly prior to the time of Jesus or contemporary with Him, Jews began baptizing Gentile converts, though circumcision still remained the primary entrance rite into Judaism." In this light, wouldn't circumcision be on an equivalent level as baptism? The early Jewish church seems to have thought so. How would circumcision and baptism really differ, if at all? Acts 15 1 Some men came down from Judea and began teaching the brethren, "Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved." (NAS95) - Blessings, Reighnskye |

104 | John Baptist's Jewish legal credentials? | OT general | Reighnskye | 134247 | ||
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 |

105 | John Baptist's Jewish legal credentials? | OT general | Reighnskye | 134246 | ||
Kalos, When I refer to Jewish legal credentials, I am specifically referring to the authority granted to John under the Law of Moses. - Blessings, Reighnskye |

Emmaus, I greatly appreciate all of the fine verse references. I took the time to look all of them up and read them individually. It lays a nice framework for the answer to my question. Very enlightening. - Blessings, Reighnskye |

107 | John Baptist's Jewish legal credentials? | Luke 1:5 | Reighnskye | 134244 | ||
Doc, You stated: "Jewish baptism was one of the steps that a proselyte took when becoming a Jew." I find this rather fascinating. So John the Baptist was converting people to Judaism, as opposed to Christianity, when he baptized the masses? Thanks. - Blessings, Reighnskye |

110 | Baptism-What Does the Bible Teach? | Acts 2:38 | Reighnskye | 134241 | ||
Rowdy, Thanks. I got a chance to read the post that you mentioned. I've also had opportunity over the years to read the many verses on baptism that the bible provides, assuming that these are the 87 verses that you are referring to. What I'll probably do is jump in on some of your future posts, rather than do a full reading of the previous ones, as my time frame may reasonably allot. Perhaps in that way, I can catch myself up to speed, with what you're saying. - Blessings, Reighnskye |

111 | Should saints be rich or poor? | Phil 4:11 | Reighnskye | 134240 | ||
BradK, - Thanks for the many fine points. :) I wonder how some of these verses that you gave me might be interpreted, in light of the physically and/or mentally handicapped, who cannot necessarily support themselves for a living. - 2 Thessalonians 3 10 For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order: if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either. (NAS95) Proverbs 19 15 Laziness casts into a deep sleep, And an idle man will suffer hunger. (NAS95) - Blessings, Reighnskye |

113 | What's Satan doing in Heaven in Job? | Rev 12:10 | Reighnskye | 134238 | ||
EdB, You stated: "In this verse I think Jesus is speaking figuratively in that Satan saw his power being diminished and his works overturned." How can we discern if this verse was merely figurative, and not either literal or prophetic? Or any verse for that matter? - Luke 10 18 And He said to them, "I was watching Satan fall from heaven like lightning. (NAS95) - Blessings, Reighnskye |
||||||
114 | Does God curse people with sickness? | Exodus | Reighnskye | 134237 | ||
EdB, You stated: "I think this pasage tells us if we take communion in an unworthy manner we may get sick or even die." Perhaps it is better for one to refrain from taking communion altogether, if there is a remote chance that they shall be bound by a tragic curse beforehand. - 1 Corinthians 11 27 Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. 28 But a man must examine himself, and in so doing he is to eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29 For he who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgment to himself if he does not judge the body rightly. 30 For this reason many among you are weak and sick, and a number sleep. (NAS95) - Blessings, Reighnskye |

115 | Will miracles arise in the last days? | Revelation | Reighnskye | 134236 | ||
EdB, Thanks for your seven rules for interpreting prophecy. - Daniel 12 4 "But as for you, Daniel, conceal these words and seal up the book until the end of time; many will go back and forth, and knowledge will increase." (NAS95) - Blessings, Reighnskye |

116 | How is the term "morning star" used? | Bible general Archive 2 | Reighnskye | 134235 | ||
EdB, I guess I've seen Satan as once truly possessing the bright light of the morning star, hence the former name of "Lucifer". However, the name "Lucifer" (morning star) was lost when he fell, and the name of "Satan" (accuser) was afterward acquired. Are you suggesting that "Satan" (accuser) is still "Lucifer" (morning star)? I thought that title was lost for a lesser one. Granted, he still possesses a psuedo-glory. - Isaiah 14 12 "How you have fallen from heaven, O star of the morning, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the earth, You who have weakened the nations! (NAS95) - Blessings, Reighnskye |

117 | The coming kingdom of antichrist? | Bible general Archive 2 | Reighnskye | 134233 | ||
Tim Moran, It is my impression that the second verse that I had listed here reinforces the literal veracity of the first verse mentioned. Hence, the idea that the man Antichrist will undergo an actual physical resurrection, as opposed to simply imitated. A few of the Old Testament saints (Enoch and Elijah, some say Moses) had achieved physical immortality themselves. Why then would it be wondrous if the man Antichrist also possessed physical immortality like these others? These types of things only seem fantastic to us, because we have never seen them with our own eyes. Yet, our own personal experiences generally fall far short, when it comes to interpreting the greater spiritual reality around us. - Revelation 13 3 I saw one of his heads as if it had been slain, and his fatal wound was healed. And the whole earth was amazed and followed after the beast; (NAS95) Revelation 13 12 He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. And he makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed. (NAS95) - Further, although it is common for governments to be referred to as beasts or statues in the bible, these illustrations are commonly followed by more specific descriptions that refer to individual people as well. - Daniel 2 31 "You, O king, were looking and behold, there was a single great statue; that statue, which was large and of extraordinary splendor, was standing in front of you, and its appearance was awesome. 32 "The head of that statue was made of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of bronze, (NAS95) Daniel 2 37 "You, O king, are the king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power, the strength and the glory; 38 and wherever the sons of men dwell, or the beasts of the field, or the birds of the sky, He has given them into your hand and has caused you to rule over them all. You are the head of gold. (NAS95) - Blessings, Reighnskye |

Mark, Agreed. I believe that we are talking about individuals here, as opposed to governments. - Blessings, Reighnskye |

119 | The coming kingdom of antichrist? | Bible general Archive 2 | Reighnskye | 134231 | ||
EdB, Thanks much. Are there any further scriptures to support the idea of a seven year tribulation, or is Daniel 9:24-27 the only reference? I've generally held to a 3 1/2 year trib myself. I personally believe that the terminology of a "seven-year reign" would be more appropriate, versus that of a "seven-year trib", insofar as tribulation only occurs for 3 1/2 years in the bible. - Revelation 13 5 There was given to him a mouth speaking arrogant words and blasphemies, and authority to act for forty-two months was given to him. (NAS95) Revelation 11 2 "Leave out the court which is outside the temple and do not measure it, for it has been given to the nations; and they will tread under foot the holy city for forty-two months. 3 "And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for twelve hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth." (NAS95) - Blessings, Reighnskye |

120 | Baptism-What Does the Bible Teach? | Acts 2:38 | Reighnskye | 133991 | ||
Rowdy, I in no way dispute the veracity of either Mark 16:16 or Acts 2:38, as being fully applicable upon the early Jewish church. - Mark 16 16 "He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned. (NAS95) Mark 16 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. (KJV) Acts 2 38 Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. (NAS95) Acts 2 38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. (KJV) - Where we may differ, perhaps, is the applicability of these verses upon the Gentile churches under Paul. I view water baptism as an Old Testament practice, much like maintaining the Sabbath or being circumcised. These are all ordinances that the early Jewish church, under the authority of Peter and James, was quick to conform to. If anyone did not conform to these ordinances, they would likely be quickly excommuncated from the early Jewish church. Would it not be fair to say that water baptism is an Old Testament ordinance, that originates from the Law of Moses? Baptism originated as a ceremonial cleansing from the Old Testament priests, and was also practiced by John the Baptist (apt name here), prior to the formation of the early Jewish church. In fact, Jesus himself conformed to water baptism. John the Baptist, at the age of thirty, and as a descendent of Zacharias, now had authority to baptize the Savior, in accordance with Jewish Law. I have other scriptures to present to you, but I'm trying to figure out where your general beliefs are on a few issues first, so I may potentially offer appropriate scriptures. - Blessings, Reighnskye |
