Subject: Is baptism a sign of the New Covenant? |
Bible Note: You write: '"This cup" is a sign of His blood.' That may be. I have neither agreed nor disagreed with this statement. You originally wrote: "The cup is the sign of the New Covenant, which is His blood." "That is what I see the Bible say." Again, the word SIGN is not in the three verses you cited. I was not replying to what you meant, but to what you actually said in your post. You yourself used the word "say". I have merely pointed out that the text does not SAY anything about a SIGN; it doesn't even use the word. I have not addressed the issue of what the cup is the sign of. I merely pointed out that the word "sign" does not appear in these texts. We need first to determine what the text says before we can determine what it means. |
