    MJ Only The Messiah's Baptism: Moving Beyond the Ritual Washing

    Abbalove the Greek scholar Lenski (in his commentary) explains some aspects of how the Greek is constructed in Matthew 19:28 that would go along with what you are saying. He says that the way the Greek reads, its showing that "in the regeneration" is dated at the time when "the son of man shall...

    So why Seven Heads

    Hi Just The Facts! I believe that Daniel (in Daniel 2:40-44) is skipping Greece and Rome in this picture, and jumps from Babylon (with a brief mention of Medo-Persia, which followed Babylon) to the final fourth kingdom. But I think the ten toes correspond to the ten horns/ten kings of the...

    MJ Only The Messiah's Baptism: Moving Beyond the Ritual Washing

    Hi again Lulav! Yes, i sometimes wondered what Paul meant there too. And I think it is the same as when the Jewish disciples in the following verse, where they speak of having a fear of the Jews: NAS John 20:19 When therefore it was evening, on that day, the first day of the week, and when...

    So why Seven Heads

    Hi Iamlamad, The reason I disagree with your view is because Rev 12:3 shows the the seven heads all existing and having crowns, and the ten horns are also pictured. Jesus did not live during the period of the ten horns (ten kings) or when the seventh head beast system was crowned, this time...

    So why Seven Heads

    Hello Just The Facts, And thank you for the good spirit of your post. You state: Your above post is interesting, I disagree on Rev 12 being Future I believe rev 12 is the only Historical part of Revelation [15] The serpent poured water like a river out of his mouth after the woman, to sweep...

    So why Seven Heads

    Sorry but that version does not fit the scriptures at all. Mary did not flee into the wilderness for 3 1/2 years after Jesus was born. And Jesus did not live on earth during the seventh Beast word government but the sixth, Rome. In Revelation 12 all seven heads of this beast are crowned, showing...

    MJ Only The Messiah's Baptism: Moving Beyond the Ritual Washing

    Alex Tennent said: ↑ We have also seen that, early on in his ministry, Paul spent eighteen months in Corinth, where he founded and built up the Corinthian Church (Acts 18:7–11). During those eighteen months, he baptized only a handful of believers because he understood the truth on water...

    MJ Only The Messiah's Baptism: Moving Beyond the Ritual Washing

    Lulav I think if that was true then the Messiah would have congratulated them, for not believing the women. In fact in one scripture the apostles believed that the women's testimony of the risen Messiah was "nonsense": NAS Luke 24:11 And these words appeared to them as nonsense, and they would...

    MJ Only The Messiah's Baptism: Moving Beyond the Ritual Washing

    Lulav I agree with Visionary's point here, and with the scripture she brought (Acts 10:28), and that there was more going on there. This was not God testing Peter to see if he would eat anything unclean or not, He knew Peter would not. And Peter then came to understand what God was really...

    MJ Only The Messiah's Baptism: Moving Beyond the Ritual Washing

    Hi Lulav, actually here what I am saying is the exact opposite...I believe that Paul and the others came to understand that in the promised new covenant water baptism would no longer be needed. We are washed/baptised as soon as we receive what the Messiah. God called John to baptize in water...

    MJ Only The Messiah's Baptism: Moving Beyond the Ritual Washing

    Thank you so much Abbalove! And I am glad you liked that chapter 10. It actually was kind of a late add on just before I went to publishing as I had realized there were a few fairly big points that had not really been covered in the book. I will for sure look forward to your posts in April or...

    MJ Only The Messiah's Baptism: Moving Beyond the Ritual Washing

    Hi Visionary, I wasn't sure if you had read my response to Abbalove concerning Matthew 19:28, i tried to copy and paste it here but I couldn't figure out how to do that! I only had the option to reply or quote, and quote sent it somewhere else. But in case you didn't see that it is post number...
