The question you should be asking if you were a bible scholar is what is the purpose of baptism and not what you are asking. Baptism is meant for the remission of sins isnt it? Jesus said that all righteousness should be fulfilled and note that all this while God never said anything until after He was baptized that was when the holy spirit descended like a dove and God said this is my beloved son in whom i am well pleased. Baptism is mean for remission of sins

philfearon:
Am not with my bible where i am now,i could have quoted what i wanted to say now....
When John The Baptist refused to Baptise Jesus,saying it should be the other way round,what did Jesus Say to Him?

philfearon:
I dont think u have ever answered a question directly right?
Can u ever answer a question directly for once in ur life?

superior1:

If you keep using words of that nature, you will keep demonstrating the quality of your upbringing. The Bible told us He ignored her and refused to meet her, that's all.

[b]Why, then, did Jesus come to be baptized by John? To fulfill God's righteous requirements. Jesus was the true Israelite who would obey God over against the disobedience of Adam and all the peoples of the world. Finally there had come one whose passion it was to obey God. As Paul said in Romans 5:19, "For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of one man the many will be made righteous." All have sinned and have come short of the glory of God, but here came one man, the true Israelite, who would fulfill all righteousness, all the righteous requirements of God, and who would, without fail, obey all God's laws perfectly.

In other words, as Jesus was being baptized by John, he was identifying with the elect sinners. There was no sin in him, but there was sin on him. The sinless one bore our sins. In this baptism Jesus publicly assumed the work of the Messiah, his God-given responsibility of taking away the sin of the world. As I said before, one purpose of John's baptism was that the Messiah be revealed to Israel. This baptism of Jesus announced to the world that he, Jesus, one day was going to be baptized with fire, meaning suffering, on behalf of his people.[/b]

philfearon:
Like seriously,you have a problem......I just asked you a simple question...........Look at the Rubbish u just took ur time to type.......a simple "to fulfil all righteousness",would have been the best answer,dont u think so?
You claim and think u know too much...But watch urself......

italo: @ Philfearon,

If you must waste your energy, waste it talking to the liar and hypocrite.

Ignore that mentally deranged one.

Whoever argues with a mad man...

Let his long meaningless posts go unanswered.

Why did the bible say that He that knew no sin was made sin? Why did the bible say that. In Romans 8:3 it declares "For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh". Now dispute that scripture with your own analogy and mindset

doclan: a set of people that did what?(lemme help U.. Set of people dat believed in d gospel of Christ and followed the Apostles teaching) wat am saying in essence is catholic is clearly different from new testament christianity. Mind U, nt jst catholics but all those who ve neglected the pure doctrine of Christ.. ALL I MEAN. Dnt cee me as an anti-catholic bt a voice crying out for us all to amend our ways and go back to what Christianity used to be.

My posts are long and meaningless to you because you do not have a reading culture. All you need is your catechism pamphlet. How convenient.

jdbabzy: The B-I-B-L-E is good enough for me, I stand upon the word of God: the B-I-B-L-E!!!

Just as d heavens are higher than the earth, so are his ways than our ways. Ur knowledge of Prison Break cannot be used to understand the bible.

Stick to the word of God. The word of Life. Denounce occultism and sorcery practices.

Maria-Goretti:
...like my brother said, ''to fullfill all righteousness'' would have been suitable.
its just like this series ''Prison Break''
For Micheal to achieve his aim, he became a prisoner to..
pls explain the human nature of Jesus to me...

naijadeyhia:

Since you have chosen to condescend to using Prison Break as a test case example i would like to ask a simple question. For Michael to become a prisoner did he or did he not commit a crime deliberately after which he knew for sure that once he was caught in the act, prison would be the outcome?

achi4u: Maria G. how far nay...long time.
That 'prison break ' is something else.

Maria-Goretti:
of course he committed a crime to be there.
I just used that as an illustration....that Jesus condescended to be a man in other to save us...TO FULLFILL ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS but that doesnt mean that HE HAS SIN IN HIM...HE IS WITHOUT SIN EVEN WHEN HE WAS ON EARTH because he is GOD.
I knew you will capitalize on that 'prison break' thingy.
TO WHOM BRAIN IS GIVEN, MUCH SENSE IS REQUIRED....!

naijadeyhia:

Thank God you said that Jesus condescended to be a man in order to save us. So whom did Mary give birth to? Jesus the man or Jesus the God?

Only a fool Will ask this question u just asked.....

Maria-Goretti:
ah ah, ki lo sele?
Ok o, she gave birth to Son of God made man to save us....
Abi, e no dey your bible?

naijadeyhia:

If she gave birth to the Son of God when did he become Man? Before or after birth or during birth?

naijadeyhia:

[b]Jesus always referred to Himself as the Son of man. In divinity he was the son of God but not in the flesh. In the flesh he was the Son of man. However He came as the son of man (in the flesh) in order to show man that it was possible to obey God till the end. Something the First Adam couldnt do, He the second Adam came and did. As long as he was in the flesh he was a man and not God which was why when Peter gained the insight of God and called Him the son of the living God he said flesh and blood has not revealed it to Peter but His father in heaven did. As a man he wept, he slept, he hungered, he suffered thirst. Qualities that God didnt have. As a man he got Angry, he called men Hypocrites and vipers and serpents. As the son of God he knew the mind of God and wanted man to see it manifest in Him. Including how to live in this sin laden world in total obedience to God. He had the Holy Spirit hence he could achieve it and we didnt have it so he said tarry until you are endued with Power from on high (the holy spirit). The apostles became new men the moment the holy spirit came upon them. The person whom men crucified was the son of man but from heaven God was seeing His son being crucified this was what made him a perfect sacrifice. If men knew who he was they would not have crucified him but alas they knew not.
So to them a man was being killed but to God His son was being killed and to God there was no greater sacrifice than this and this was why Christ asked God to forgive his killers for they did not know what they were doing but God did because it was His will all along[/b]

naijadeyhia: with my last expose i would like to let you know that Mary gave birth to a man child in the flesh and not a God Child in divinity. Do not let this confuse you. If it does then it does prove that a carnal man can never understand the things of the spirit.
