    Hi Jodi

    As long as you ignore the pre-existence and divinity of Christ and what God really did through him, (who knew no sin: 2 Cor.5:21) You will remain thirsty and go around in circles tirelessly.

    John 6:40

    Hi Jodi,

    You: John DIDN’T KNOW that he needed to baptize Jesus, 

    Me: Jodi, you are excellent when it comes to your CORRUPTED ANALYZES! 

    Scripture:

    John 1:23 He said: I am the voice of one crying out in the wilderness,
    make straight the way of the Lord,
    as said the prophet Isaias.

    Hi Berean,

    Apply the fact that the child Jesus, son of David, was a human to whom many prophesies written in the OT would be fulfilled in him.  In scripture Jesus is given this identity, called what he is ACCORDING TO PROPHECY that will be fulfilled in him.

    Hi Berean,

    Paul is speaking of CHRIST who is the ANOINTED JESUS. Jesus was baptized and then was called to righteousness, begotten of God’s Spirit without measure at the river Jordan, by such he could not sin and therefore the ANOINTED JESUS knew no sin.

    2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are…[Read more]

    “If Jesus was without sin, then he wouldn’t need to be baptized and he most certainly wouldn’t need to be called to righteousness.”

    For he (God) hath made him (Jesus) to be sin for us, 👉who knew no sin; 👈that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. (Jesus)  (2Corinthians 5:21)

    Good Morning Berean,

    John didn’t know that he needed to baptize Jesus, he actually thought otherwise, and Jesus said it must be done in order to fulfill all righteousness, what does that tell you?

    Hi Jodi,

    You: The glory that Jesus received upon rising from the dead is glory written by the prophets since the world began. 

    This is the glory that Jesus asked for that was of God for this Son of Man from even before the world began.

    @ Jodi

    what you say is not right
    JESUS DID NOT NEED THE FORGIVENESS OF HIS OWN SINS, AND THEREFORE TO BE BAPTIZED TO BE PURIFIED FROM SIN.

    FOR JESUS IS THE FLAWLESS AND SPOTLESS LAMB OF GOD WHO TAKES AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.

    I draw understanding from the below passages,

    Luke 3:4 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins….21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and…[Read more]
