Hi @brakelite In the weeks leading up to the discovery of the book, and since, there have been increasing reports of antisemitism within Britain and elsewhere, culminating this week with the attack in New York. The pattern of events seem to be happening again, as have happened throughout...

Hello @marksman, Thank you for responding. I understand that you would be guarded about any response received, and treat it with caution. However the word, 'baptize', and the question you raised concerning it's meaning was what was being considered, and baptism is found in each of the verses...

Ha!! Like it, Helen! ;) I gave him something else instead, but took the book down for him to see on Christmas day, and he said he wouldn't mind reading it sometime, but wasn't greatly enthusiastic; whereas his brother, and my husband both want to read it after me. This morning I was drawn to...

Hello there, I bought a book for a member of my family at Christmas time, because I thought it would be of interest to him, only to find that I could not put it down when I opened it; I am now 3/4 of the way through and am gripped. It is not a book I would ever have thought would interest me...

'And I knew Him not: but H that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, "Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on Him, the same is He which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost." And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.' (John 1:33-34) Hello...

This is the Opening Post, entered by @marks. This is what the thread was created to consider. The One Baptism of the seven-fold unity of the Spirit in Ephesians 4. In Christ Jesus Chris

* Reference reply#264 Hello Truther, Answering your question would lead to more questions, and thereby derail this present thread. It requires a thread of it's own. In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Truther, I am sorry that you chose to dismiss the content of reply #243. It is obvious to me now, that I should have made reply #229, my last. May the Lord guide you into all truth as you wait on Him. By the way, the church did not begin at Pentecost. :) In Christ Jesus Chris

'For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: By which also He went and preached unto the spirits in prison; Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of...

'According to the WORD that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, so my SPIRIT remaineth with you; fear ye not.' (Haggai 2:5) Hello again, In the verse above God spoke to the children of Israel, regarding the covenant He had made with them when they came out of Egypt, and here...

Hello there, I found the quote (above) in a book I have, stating the threefold manifestation of light and vapour, which illustrate the same threefold manifestation of God, who Himself is spirit. 'Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory...

Oh @Truther, May your study be fruitful, and your life in Christ be all that He desires for you. For you have been truly blessed in Christ Jesus your Lord. I wish you well, along with all your fellow contributors to this thread. May you be enriched as you thankfully consider all of the...

Hello @marksman, When it is used figuratively, as in 1 Corinthians 10:2 for example, the element being, 'the cloud and the sea', and the object being identification with the former experiences of Moses and the children of Israel, in the crossing of the Jordan river, which took place...

'John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.' (Mark 1:4) Hello @hermeneutics, Thank you for your contribution. Looking up 'remission' in the Strong's concordance, I see that it's reference number is G859 - (Gr. aphesis), which is from...

'Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.' (Act 2:38) Hello @Truther, Looking up what is meant by 'debunk'. I see that it means:- 'to show that something is less...

Hello @marksman, The reason I referred you to those references was to show that the word is also applied in situations where water is not in evidence. In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @marksman, There are examples in Scripture where the word baptism is used, in which water plays no part. For it is used as a means of identifying with someone or something. For example:- Matthew 20:22-23; Act 1:5; 1 Corinthians 10:2+ In Christ Jesus Chris

Colossians 2 Hello there, The main objective of Paul in this chapter is to stay the mind of the believers upon the fact that they are complete in Christ. He tells them to beware of anything and anyone who would seek to take them away from that complete trust in the all-sufficiency of the...

Hello @ScottA, Thank you for explaining. In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Truth, No, with respect the epistle is written to believers. See Colossians 1:2. To the 'saints' and 'faithful' in Christ Jesus. Within the love of Christ our Saviour Chris
