AMPLIFIED 2015 | Mark 7:4 and when they come from the market place, they do not eat unless they cleanse themselves [completely according to ritual]; and there are many other things [oral, man-made laws and traditions handed down to them] which they follow diligently, such as the washing of cups and pitchers and copper utensils.) |
Subject: "Tables" or "Beds" in original text? |
Bible Note: OK, Thanks very much. Good answer. Then if the Holy Spirit intended for 'beds' to be mentioned in Mark 7:4, I believe it. I also believe therefore that tables had to be immersed :) The primary idea of Christian baptism is a burial, and only a burial should be received. The Eunuch and Philip went down into the water and Paul said the Romans were 'buried with Christ in baptism.' History teaches us that sprinkling and pouring were added as accomodations when men put off their baptism (i.e. the adoption of 'clinical baptisms') Disciplerami. |
