    The End and the Beginning 

    Well, we made it to the end.  Many, many thanks to Jon Warnes for starting this project and seeing it through to the end.  What a great idea!  I also need to acknowledge Randal Matheny's help in walking me through the process of setting up the automatic emails in Posterous.  

    And I thank God for all of you who committed to this great effort.  We've been blessed by doing this and can be a greater blessing to others when we share God's Word with them.  In fact, now is when the real work begins!  

    Be Bold and God Bless!!

      Thanks for doing this, Richard. It has been and will continue to be a blessing.

      Maybe time to think about what to do with the group over on Posterous?

    What Can We Know About Baptism For The Dead? 

    The NetBible notes say over 200 scenarios for baptism for the dead have been suggested as possibilities! The large number makes sense since there is so little background information on this topic. It’s obscurity leads to wild speculation.

    Of those speculations I personally like the one where the person baptized is taking the place of a martyred Christian. Is it possible it’s a baptism in addition to the one when he was baptized for his salvation? Baptism was not exclusive to Christianity and was sometimes used to bring initiates into a specific group. Would it be reasonable to think a Christian might be willing to commit to stand next in line for martyrdom taking the place of a beloved fallen Christian? As we look at the context this is a great fit.

    It is also complete conjecture as are practically all the suggestions. Frankly, barring some archaeological discovery, I doubt we will ever know what the reference is.

    A list of what it’s not, based on the clear teaching of scripture, is helpful.

    It’s not something that saves those:
    who don’t choose, wish or want it. Revelation 22:17
    without faith. Hebrew 11:6
    who do not repent and are not baptized. Acts 2:38
    who do bad things while “in the body.” 2 Corinthians 5:10

    There’s also room to argue it refers to a practice Paul does not necessarily approve. First, as we have pointed out, this reference to baptism for the dead is obscure. Not only does no other writer mention it in scripture, but neither does Paul mention it elsewhere. If this is an approved practice why is it not described and explained?
    Another strong point is Paul does not say “we” but “they” in reference to those who are baptizing for the dead. In doing so he creates grammatical distance between himself and this practice. Was that his intention? One could argue it was not, but it certainly makes his approval doubtful.

      RH, I like your summation the best “It is also complete conjecture as are practically all the suggestions. Frankly, barring some archaeological discovery, I doubt we will ever know what the reference is.” Thanks for reminding us of what should matter most to us today on God’s great earth: understanding and applying that which has been made known to us. For the rest, maybe best to wait until we gather around His throne and get it directly from the Source.

      So, is the weather cooperating for another excellent harvest? We greatly appreciate you sharing 1 1/2 ” of precipitation last week!

        We have managed to get enough rain for a decent crop. I’m not expecting the corn to be anything special, but the beans are coming along quite well. Glad you got some rain. Sounds like it was much needed.

      Very much so…. our area of the state has dropped down from the worst level to the “extremely severe drought” stage, though a return this week to 99-101 temps w/o precip. will likely return us to the very worst category. As sincerely as I possibly can say this, it is at times like this we are reminded 1) that our treasures are truly laid up in Heaven; and, 2) how could we even begin to live this life without that hope!

        Oh, even though after 10PM, must share this last thought. Do you recall a few weeks ago I posted a praise comment for the 3″ of rain? Well, yes there was 3″ of precipitation in the rain gauge. How, I must sheepishly say that I have since learned my daughter failed to turn off the sprinkler in that flower bed that also houses the rain gauge. You guessed it, all the thunder and lightning that overnight merely helped deliver .3″ of rain from the sky. The balance, from our local water supply, lol…… Regardless, praise God for that which was received!
