Chapter 3

Jesus is Baptised
V1 Now John the son of the priest Zechariah went to the wilderness in Judea and telling people to change from their evil ways.
Although Matthew did not tell us when John started this, through the information in Luke we decided it must be about 30 years after the birth of Jesus.
V2 John said the ‘Kingdom of Heaven’ probably because he didn’t want to mention the name of God. It was such a big deal back then.
V3 He gave reference to Prophet Isaiah who said “Someone is screaming in the wilderness, telling people to make a way for the Lord”.
Usually will prepare the road before an important man travels through it. I remember vividly how those times before an election how those dirty road would be swept clean because a president is coming. Isaiah used this to tell the people to prepare their heart for a King who will rule there.
Many people knew they were doing wrong things and came to John to be baptized, hoping in their hearts that God will forgive them among these were the Pharisees and Sadducees*
Baptism then involves dipping oneself in a pool of water. This show that the person has been cleaned from his sins the same water washes our body when we bath.

V11 John speaks about Jesus and what He would do. John knew Jesus was the one he was preparing the way for. Only a slaves carries out petite orders like untying someone’s shoes. John said he was not even good enough be that slave.
John said Jesus will separate bad people from the good ones. And then He would terribly punish the bad people.
V13 In the following verses Jesus who was now a grown man was in Galilee and when from there to visit John.
Matthew told us that John sighted Him and tried stop him. Jesus has no sin, there was absolutely no reason for him to be baptized. But Jesus told him that it was God’s will for Him to be baptized.
V16 Here a voice from heaven said. “This is my Son, He makes me happy”
The spirit bird which was a dove was a sign of peace and power. It also tells us that a new thing is about to start.

///
Pharisees were people who would not accept other cultures and customs, they felt this would stop them from being holy and insisted that people must be careful in obeying God’s law. So they added many extra regulations to assist people in doing this but soon these extra law became a burden to people. The Pharisees didn’t like anyone who doesn’t agree with their beliefs.
While the Sadducees whom I believe are mostly priests believed the 5 book of Moses(Genesis, Exodus ...) were God’s word and that the dead will never ever come alive again. The Sadducees enjoyed power and were willing to lower standards to maintain it.
Finally, Repentance is important in a person life. After we repent we must choose to live in a way that is pleasing to God. Only after this can our repentance be genuine.
John said Jesus will baptize us with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will give us that power live a pure life. ///

MaxInDHouse:
It's you and your cohorts that are deceiving yourselves or let's just say you're been deceived!
There's no experiment you can carry out successfully in the Science lab when it's the person you want to show how it works dictating the approach!
In the same manner why not allow the Bible student to tell you how the Bible works instead of you trying to dictate the approach to perform the experiment?
Well i allowed the Bible students to prove the authenticity of God's word and i can perceive the success of the experiment.
Humans go to war and destroy lives and properties worth millions due to issues they can easily resolve while sitting together drinking Goldberg.
The Bible proved to be the one and only book that successfully impressed the right attitude in the heart of men from all races so that they settled all their differences without having to make use of weapons!
That is what the Bible can do that no Scientist no matter the experiment in your laboratories can change the heart of your students from killing one another in the face of racism and politics. So don't dictate how the Bible should work instead try to learn how the book works!

Actually some people are quite low in reasoning. They like want to prove spirtual thing in their bedroom laboratory.

We said something Supernatural/Metaphysical yet...

FatherOfJesus:
Is it that you lack the ability to decipher what “testing of hypotheses” is?

The Bible has been tested times without numbers and never agrees with experiments. This is why more and more people are thinking that it’s a lie. Most renown scientist today think the Bible is a lie

Who are the most? biko.. Data is beautiful I want to see those 'Most'

FatherOfJesus:
It doesn’t matter how beautiful and exciting the stories and theories are.

It doesn’t matter how smart the person telling the story is, if it doesn’t agree with the experiment then it’s wrong. Discard it

Prayers doesn’t agree with statistical experiments.
Miracles doesn’t agree with physics, medicine and statistical datas.
The Bible as a whole doesn’t agree with any experiment.

Religion creates a theory and never establish any measurable procedures to test them. When you challenge their theory, they conjure another theory that cannot be tested or measured in order to cover the flaws in the preexisting theory.

Any structure that doesn’t provide a measurable method to test their claims is prone to manipulations and gimmickry. Such platform can never be trusted.

If you must get yourself out of religion then you must always ask for testable evidence, religion always do not have it. That’s why it can be manipulated because you cannot test anything

ARe you An Unlearnt gay?

Do you not know that religion and moral is necessary for human civilization to delevop?

Do you also want morality gone?

Modified: I wrote Fa*GGot Nairaland Said Gayyy lol...

Kobojunkie:
God created them male and female does not imply one was created for the other.
Men are not created for women and women are not created for men... they were simply created male and female.

Don't you have a Bible? Have you not seen verse where God plainly said He will make a suitable helper for man? Is a woman purpose not to procreate?

You people here sef.

chrisxxx:
He started with some preambles and made sure he cornered me.
He asked, David killed Goliath, right?
I said yes.
He said the tunic was too heavy for David to wear wasn't it?
I said yes.
Daddy did you know that Goliath would also use a giant sword?
I was just answering yes to free myself.
I didn't know the small boy of six was up to something.
And the bombshell!
Daddy if David çould not wear the tunic because it was too heavy for him, where did he get the strength to use Goliaths sword to cut off his head?
Can someone help out with this question?

Goliath wasn't some super human mega giant na.. and David too wasn't a small boy.

The tunic was too heavy for him to fight the battle not that he couldn't literally wear it.

And the sword too. Was it not somebody that made it? The man that carried Goliath's big shield, was he from venus?
Have you not carry an heavy axe before?

Kobojunkie:
But on this the man is speaks which ought to be common sense

'Women were not created for men' they were created for stones abi?

louqas:
The data and information which you hinged your opposition to Pantami for is already out there in the internet , you and other christians have given for FREE and WILLINGLY the same informations to Facebook ,google ,twitter and other social media platform . What baffles me is christians have always made us believe christianity is all about love and forgiveness YET they are vehemently refusing to forgive a repent man. Even at crucifixion Jesus forgave

Your head is not korrect! Since na forgiveness matter then let all the prisoners be released na. Evans sef go don repent tey tey.

thebosstrevor1:
Yes..you "might" not be successful.

You may or may not.

If one is not successful, then where is the light?

17.[s]There is light at the end of the tunnel, [/s]never give up.

There isn't always light....

1. No funds. The brokes must remain broke.

2. NEPA aka certified/world class business killers. They will frustrate you till your frustration becomes frustrated.

3. Not asking for sound advice from experienced and successful business men in your line.

Others includes; bad location, poor customer service, motivational speakers.

bennynaza:
Very ambiguous story!

Was a man kidnapped and killed?
Yes.
Kidnapped with a bike?
Okay, but still suspicious.
Trekked for "hours" into the bush with a kidnapped man?
Doubtable.
Killed a man in a forest and still carried his body out of the forest in a wheelbarrow?
Hmmm. What for? Doubtable too.

And to top it all off, Fulani men (on the way to the mosque to pray), intercepted the criminals.?
What a way to make fulani moslems look good.

And yes, an Igbo man (now at large) somehow had to be fingered as part of the crime?
Of course!

Well done, police investigators!

More story stories like this and the presidency will say 95% of the kidnapping are being sponsored by Igbo merchants

doffman:
We don't need your sympathy.
Your bad mouth against Islam cannot do anything , it will even make Islam to be spreading good for people to see your hypocrisy.

Whereas Islamabad is still the capital of Pakistan
