Subject: Why did John the Baptist baptize Jesus? |
Bible Note: I reiterate: Nowhere does the Bible SAY Jesus was baptized in order to set us an example that we too should be baptized. I am not disputing what it means or what it means to you. We learn what the Bible means by what it says. What it SAYS in plain English is that Jesus was baptized TO FULFILL ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS. If you have evidence to the contrary, please give us the book, chapter and verse where the Bible SAYS Jesus was baptized in order to set us an example. |
