Bible Discussion Thread

I have a question from Matthew 3:12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.

chaff ? Why use a word like that?

And all friends and Jesus loving ppl. I have a word for U. From Romans 5 and 6 chapter.

What baptism is Paul talking about here?

Many thanks in advance in Jesus Christ. Be blessed in the Holy Name above all names Amen.

In scripture the normative meaning when it speaks of baptism, it is talking about water baptism.

One could google that and find out if what I am saying is true or not. I encourage people to read up on what Christian history shows to be the meaning and type when it speaks of baptizing, which means to immerse in or pour water over a person.

But

Many on here will argue against this because they don't want the text to mean water baptism due to their desire to have it mean something different. That is why I suggest someone research it outside of the comments on this site if one wants to really find the answer.

Gigi I have taken the time to do that but again when you start getting into the original language translations

then your thought of changing scripture so wisdom says don't go there. You can't upset an apple cart if you dont

supply more apples.

Gigi Skip comment on Mathew 3:2 wrong context.

Free,

Back in those days they had what was called the threshing floor. What they would do was they would gather their crops in and they would grind it on the threshing floor, and the grain would separate from the chaff. And then they would take a shovel, a winnowing fork, a winnowing fan, and they throw it up in the air. And the grain would only travel a certain distance but the chaff would blow even further away.

By the time they finished this process, they would have two separate piles on the floor. One pile goes into the barn, and the other one you burn. What this is talking about is that with Jesus, either you are going to get baptized with His spirit, because that's the name of his ministry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit, or the fire of judgment. He will separate the wheat from the chaff.

As for what baptism is Paul talking about in Romans Chapters 5 and 6, he is presenting to us the process of salvation, and the baptism he mentions in Romans Chapter 6 is Spirit baptism, not water baptism.

Thank u so much. Ill diddnt understand. And how can i? I need to look too Israel in my learning. Ty and God Bless.
