Quick Question

[TanMan]

Christ's misson could not start until the work of John
the baptists work was completed. The reason is that
the people in Christ's younger years were more akin
to the pharisee's of the time when they were full of
pride. John's work helped to make the people more
humble, paving the way for Christ's work.

Wow, you seem pretty confident. Do you like putting God in a box? Who can say "God can't do this until that happens." Who can say "This or that must happen before Christ can accomplish his mission."

Wow, how aragant! Are we so cocky as humans that we think that God is limited in what He can do by human beings?

God can use ROCKS people... He said that if the people didn't praise him the rocks would cry out! -- perfect example of where God can bypass humans for his glory.

Please, let's not think so highly of ourselves.

I am not going to read this whole POST but what about the number 30 being a divine or spiritual number. Thirty is symbolic of maturity. That is the age when he age when a boy becomes a man. A thought about spiritual numbers; they are found only in the Bible. In other words the Book of Mormon does not have devine numbers and its numbers are not relevant to anything.

Greek (son)

Teknon child, to begat, bare
Strong’s 5043 teknon (tek'-non); from the base of 5098; a child (as produced): KJV--
child, daughter, son.
Teknion, little child
Pais, servant
Huios, son
Paidion, little or young child
Nepiqzo, to be a babe
Enkuos, great with child

Strong’s 3516 nepios (nay'-pee-os); from an obsolete particle ne- (implying negation)
and 2031; not speaking, i.e. an infant (minor); figuratively, a simple-minded person, an
immature Christian: KJV-- babe, child (+-ish).

Matt 11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven
and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed
them unto babes. (KJV)


Strong’s 5207 huios (hwee-os');

apparently a primary word; a "son" (sometimes of animals), used very widely of immediate, remote or figuratively, kinship: KJV-- child, foal, son.

Matt 5:9Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. (KJV)

Remember 4:13 of Philippians:I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me
As we can't do it all alone and by ourselves.
