Subject: Is baptism a sign of the New Covenant? |
Bible Note: "This cup IS the new covenant in My blood." NASB Luke 22:20 And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, "This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood. NASB 1 Corinthians 11:25 In the same way He took the cup also after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me." NASB Hebrews 12:24 and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood, which speaks better than the blood of Abel. ---------- You write: "Scripture ... Luk 22:20, 1 Cor 11:25, Heb 12:24 ... Emmaus, God's day to you. The cup is the sign of the New Covenant, which is His blood. Searcher" You write: "That is what I see the Bible say" ---------- WHERE do you see the Bible saying this? I ask you: WHERE in the three verses you cited does it SAY "The cup is the SIGN OF the New Covenant"? What it SAYS is: "This cup . . . IS the new covenant in My blood." The verses in Luke and 1 Corinthians say nothing at all about a SIGN. In Hebrews 12:24, -- "...and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant..." -- there is no mention of the word SIGN. We know what the Bible means by what it SAYS. Likewise, we know what it says by what it SAYS. You write: "One could always stretch the Bible to make their case." I agree with you there. |
