Reignskye, Consider that John's was a baptism of repentance (Mark 1:4)and Jesus' baptism was a baptism of the Spirit Acts 19:1-6). Both baptsims were with water. Emmaus |

142 | John Baptist's Jewish legal credentials? | OT general | Emmaus | 134257 | ||
Reighnskye, "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?" Good question. Baptism is the circumcison of Christ. Colossians 2:11-12 "and in Him you were also circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, in the removal of the body of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ; having been buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also raised up with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead." Galatians 5:1-6 "It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery. Behold I, Paul, say to you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no benefit to you. And I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is under obligation to keep the whole Law. You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. For we through the Spirit, by faith, are waiting for the hope of righteousness. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love." Emmaus |

143 | Born of the water means? | John 3:5 | Emmaus | 134202 | ||
Tim, "I have also found it interesting that John 3 doesn't really speak of being 'born again'. The actual word used is 'born from above'. Thus, the contrast would be between 'born from below' and 'born from above' - i.e. natural and spiritual birth." I would find this easier to go along with if "from below" was anywhere in the text, but it is not. It is also interesting that the NASB makes the choice of using "again" rather than "from above" although I have no problem with the later. I agree with the natural and spiritual birth. I just don't think the "water" in this case is referring to the natural birth, which is how Nicodemus misunderstood it. Rather, it seems to me more linked to the "spirit" by "and" as the Holy Spirit is often linked with water and with baptism. And the natural flow of the context of John 3 leads into the verse about apostles baptizing at the end of the chapter. Emmaus |

145 | WERE THERE ONLY JEWS AT THE PENTECOST? | Acts 2:1 | Emmaus | 133650 | ||
Reighnsky, "Please understand that the Gospel of Christ was not open to Gentiles until the ministry of Paul, without first possessing a prerequisite Judaic conversion under the Law of Moses." Actually the Gospel was opened to the Gentiles before Paul through Peter under the direction of the Holy Spirit when he preached to and baptized Cornelius and his household in Acts 10 and 11.

146 | What is a repentance from dead works? | Heb 6:1 | Emmaus | 133558 | ||
I agree with your assessment. | ||||||
147 | The Making of the King James Bible | Gen 1:1 | Emmaus | 133550 | ||
Country Girl, It was a good book as a historical, political, sociological and literary study of the personalities and environment in which the KJV translation was done. I recommend it. I suggest looking for it in the library before buying it. It is not so much a devotional as a historical work, but very good. Emmaus |

148 | What is a repentance from dead works? | Heb 6:1 | Emmaus | 133548 | ||
Mommapbs, I think this is something we must all gard against in many ways. We tend not to think about sins of omission as much as we do trying to avoid sins of comission. Like the rich man, we thing we are doing fine if we do not abuse the beggar at our door, but we still sin by ignoring his need. The rich man never bothered Lazaraus. Ever heard the phrase, "he won't hurt you, but he won't help you either" used to describe someone? Makes me think of Jesus says, "because you are neither hot nor cold, I will spew you out." |

149 | Doesn't NT forbid all images-somewhere? | NT general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 132647 | ||
Doc, Actually iconoclasm and iconoclasts were those who denounced and destroyed religious images which are called icons. Icon means image, clast means to break or eikon - klaein. Emmaus |

151 | Titus 3:5 and washing of regeneration | Titus 3:5 | Emmaus | 132563 | ||
Dalcent and others, May I suggest that this and other threads are getting far afield from the purpose of this Forum, which is the study of the Bible, not Church history. We are not going to solve all the problems and division of the past 500 years of Christianity here. And we certainly should not expect to be convincing others of our poisition, nor should we be attacking one another. I find the best practice to be stating one's position and understanding and why and letting that satnd on its own merits, then leaving it at that. This whole argument began due the intemperate remarks of a person who is no longer posting. The blaze is still burning long after he was consumed by his handiwork. Perhaps we can get back to where we were before this started before we and the Forum meet the same fate. Emmaus |

152 | Rowdy, Rowdy, are you sure? | 1 Tim 2:9 | Emmaus | 132374 | ||
WTB, Theologoy has ben defined in a nutshell as: "faith seeking understanding." Faith and eeking understanding are not incompatible. Nor are the two imcompatible with a personal relationship with God. All theology is not bad nor is all theology good. Emmaus |

153 | Is the rapture biblically supported? | 1 Thess 4:17 | Emmaus | 132139 | ||
duketunes, It is not 1 Thes 4:17 or Second Coming that is in dispute about the rapture. It is all the extrapolation and interpretation that is disputed among various camps. What one person means by "The rapture" and what another means by it in the broad intrpretaion can be very different. Emmaus |

154 | Have you ever read a book by a Catholic? | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 131866 | ||
Doc, I made a polite correction of fact about the date of the founding of Jack Chick's enterprise in your post. I did not make any "ad hominem, post hoc, and now straw man" attacks on you. Why would you indicate in your repsonse that I did any of those? Cahrles Chiniquy was a Canadian Catholic priest who immigrated to America and was later excommunicated in 1858. In 1863 he became a Presbyterian minister. In addition to his book Fifty Years in the Church of Rome, he had some other rather strange conspiracy theories such as the Vatican being behind the assasination of President Lincoln in revenge for Lincoln's defense of Chiniquy in an 1856 lawsuit. Here is a link to some information about Chiniquy for those who may be interested. http://www.geocities.com/chiniquy/ Emmaus |

Doc, Chick was around long before 1984. I am surprised you are so off the mark here. See this link for a good article on Chick. http://www.catholic.com/library/sr_chick_tracts_p1.asp Emmaus |

Tim, "My father-in-law recently retired from the minsitry and I inherited his full set (all 9 volumes) of Kittel's - my dream come true! ;-)" You lucky guy. Check out my citations. Hopefully you have the same edition as I cited. Emmaus |

158 | should a catholic marraige be sanctified | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 131686 | ||
Tim, Petra in ancient Greek is a feminine noun, so it had to be changed to Petros to match Peter's gender. Are you being coy with me? You know this Greek stuff much better than me. I only know a few good Greco-Roman self defense moves. I have now retained Kittell as my personal Greek body guard. Emmaus |

Tim, You are the Greek scholar, not me, but as I understand it a male name must have a male ending in Greek. Do you have acess to a good Protestant theological library. If so look at Gerherd Kittell's Theological Dictionary of the New Testament in ten volumes. Look for vol VI, pages 98-99 and see what he says about Matt 16:18. I know you know Kittle. I will let him make the argument for me. He is omly one of many Protestant scholars of the same opinion. See also vol 6, page 108 in the 1968 edition by Eerdman's, Grand Rapids MI. The short version conclusion that kittle reaches on Matt 16;18 is this: "It is thus evident that Jesus is referring to Peter, to whom he has given the name Rock. He appoints Peter, the impulsive, enthusiastic, but not persevering man in the circle, to be the foundation of his ecclesia. To this extent Roman Catholic Exegesis is right and all Protestant attempts to evade this interpretation are to be rejected." vol 6, p108. Don't you just love Kittel? ;-) Of course its all Greek to me. Emmaus |
