Bible Question:
Colossians 4:6 says that our speech should be seasoned with salt and Mark 9:50 commands the hearers to have salt in themselves. 1. Does this come from the idea of salting the sacrifices (Lev. 2:13) and our bodies being living sacrifices (Rom. 12:1)? |
Bible Answer: Greetings, Actually, it comes from the properties of salt. Before refrigeration and canning methods were developed, Salt was used as a preservative to make food last longer, and prevent it from spoiling. Salt is being used as an analogy to encourage the readers to remain righteous, and untainted by the world's influence. Jalek |
