Puja is a religious ritual performed by Hindus, normally as an offering to honor the deities, religious leaders of distinguished personalities 'to express honor, worship and devotional attention'.Needless to say Puja is a key part of any business, more or less the same practice as what retail shops do here at home prior to opening ie burning incense for shopping traffic, good profits and for protection against evil and bad luck. Well, this super spice shop in a Delhi market is no exception. At the appointed hour the owner came up with a stubby piece of incense, I thought it was a Petite Robusto and he would smoke it, he did not but instead lit it and started to wave it all over his merchandise. Last and certainly not least is of course the cash box, which without any doubt took the lion share of the offering. One wonders why?

THERE ARE NOT MODES OF BAPTISM BY STEVE FINNELL
ReplyDeleteA mode is a method of doing something. Baptism is a specific action and that action is immersion in water.
The word baptism is a transliteration from the Greek language. Baptism is not a translated word.
Ninety nine percent of all Bibles "transliterate" baptism from the the Greek language.
Examples of a Bible translation that actually translated from the Greek language.
Romans 6:4 We were, therefore, buried with him by immersion into death; that as Christ was raised from the dead by God the Father, thus we also should walk in newness of life. (The Better Version of The New Testament by Chester Estes)
To say that sprinkling and pouring are modes of baptism not only defies logic, but rejects the honest study of the subject of baptism. There are no translations that translate immersion as pouring nor as sprinkling.
Mark 16:16 He who has believed, and has been immersed, will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. (The Better Version of The New Testament by Chester Estes)
Where is the translation that says, has been sprinkled, will be saved or that says has been poured, will be saved?
Baptism is not divided into modes. Baptism is the action and the action is immersion.
