John 1:1...Carl's Blogged Bible Study, Baptism

Carl put together this Blogged Bible study on the book of John.

John has always been my favorite gospel--in fact my Thesis paper for my MA focused on an obscure word found only in this gospel. John is so strange, yet so familiar to the Chrisitian. If Paul is the theologian of the New Testament, then John is the philosopher (Irenaeus and church tradition attribute authorship to John, the beloved disciple...he is often confused with the baptizer or John of Patmos). John's gospel, ever popular with the gnostics, is so different from the other synoptics, but so compatible...in fact, it may be considered the key for interpreting the rest.

So far Carl, Joe, Darla, Michelle, and Deborah all have posted on the first chapter of this metaphysical look at Christianity with different styles and perspectives. I enjoyed them all...I'd say Joe thinks much the way I do.

Usually I love to tear apart a text and try to get into the mind of the author. The problem I face is trying to do this with a chapter that is 51 verses long. I could and should write a 50 pg. paper on this! So instead, I'll just focus on a tiny portion.

The first chapter can be broken down as follows:
I. Prologue (1:1-18)
II. Beginning of Jesus' ministry (1;19-51)
A. Testimony of John the Baptist (1:19-34)
B. Call of the first disciples (1:35-51)

The prologue, should be thought of as the thesis statement for the gospel, and all interpretation of such should revolve around it: The eternal Godhead of the Word who was involved in the creative process was made flesh to give life and light to those who are born of His Spirit; contrast with his adversary, Belial, Satan, made manifest as the counter work of His fellow Jews who reject his teachings and Messiahship. John logically attributes credibility to "Jesus."

And after the prologue, how does he do this? How does John first physically introduce the Son of God to his readers? He does so through the rite of Baptism!

I doubt I have to expound to anyone reading this post that John, while writing in Greek, was a Jew and wrote with typical Hebraic style. He was well versed in the law. He drew upon this knowledge to legitimize Jesus as being the spoken of by the prophets, and John the Baptist was crucial in fulfilling this prophecy (i.e. 1:23).

You know all this. But what hit me, is that the act of Baptism was so necessary! According to John, Jesus did not begin his ministry (which was to take away the sins of the world--1:29, and to baptize WITH the Holy Spirit--1:34). John the Baptist testified to the author that at the baptism of Jesus the Holy Spirit descended and stayed with Jesus, unlike all the prophets before him who only experienced momentary rendezvous (1:32).

I say all this as I rethink baptism. It seems to me we trivialize this rite, dare I say, sacrament, in the church today. We think of it as cliche public statement of our belief to those in our congregations. I have heard pastor after pastor tell his congregation that baptism ceremonies will be taking place at some set aside date in the future and any congregant who feels led to participate may. How contrary to John's portrayal of the event!

Leave John with me for a moment and go to:
Mark 16:16:- "The one who believes and is baptized will be saved." (hardly sounds optional)
Acts 8:34-39- The Eunuch was immediately baptized.
Acts 9:18- Immediately after the scales fell off Paul's eyes, as he saw Jesus for who he was, he was baptized.

Every example of salvation in the early church was immediately accompanied by baptism as per Jesus' example here in the first chapter of John.

I don't know exactly where to go with this except to say I hope we all take this story far more serious than we currently do!

I never thought this was written by John the baptist, but I did always think that John of the I am Gospel, and John of Revelation were the same..actually this is the first time I ever heard that it wasn't...I am going to dig on that..
I am a believer that once a person makes a confession of faith off to the water with you! I once had a pastor who constantly put off baptism..very sad..
This is a very good post...I need to think through it some more..and then comment later on it..THanks for doing this!

Buy this man a Yoohoo....

I like the verse breakdown. This week we have seen each one of those area's addressed in some form or fashion.

The church I attend has Baptism during all 3 services. That way the whole congregation gets to celebrate with the hosts of Heaven...

Baptism is an act of obedience to Christ. All though not nessasary for salvation, (there are death bed conversions, look to the Thief on the cross, he is in paradise) we should follow the example of Christ and be baptized into his death and resurrection.

Excellent and succinct post. You say so much in just a few paragraphs. That takes real skill and craft.

I would agree, we do seem to think a lot alike. I admire your approach to this study and really enjoyed reading it. I am looking forward to your future posts.

I also agree with what you say about baptism. I personally baptized all three of my sons. We invited family and friends and had a huge party celebrating the goodness of God and the joy of our salvation!

Very well written and so glad to be a part of this with you...It's causing be to go dig as well...

I long for people to take God's Word more seriously...It never ceases to amaze me how God speaks so much to different people in the same scripture! Blessings to you!

Thanks for the comments and insights folks! I think I have you all installed in my reader. I'm looking forward to the other chapters and next weeks post, starting tomorrow...although I will be out of town so it might take me a day or two to comment! Oh yeah, I almost forgot...
Darla, some schools do attribute authorship of the epistles of John to John the beloved disciple. It's a tough call sometimes because they use similar language and share the same sentiments.

Digital Memory sure is becoming cheaper and cheaper and cheaper. I'm curious as to when we will eventually hit the ratio of 1 cent to 1 Gig.

I'm quietly waiting for the day when I will finally be able to afford a 20 TB hard drive, haha. But for now I guess I will be happy with having a 16 gigabyte Micro SD Card in my R4i.

Now here's a shoe-in for the list of the year's best gaming-related clothing : Adidas has brought back its ZX 5 hundred running shoe, and, since it originally is from the '80s, the gaming electrified design and coloring is a no-brainer ... Right? The kicks would possibly not be the coolest part of the deal, either ; they come packaged with a combo bracelet/USB flashdrive containing ZX Runner, a computer game based on ... The shoe itself.

GameCulture writes that the game stars a character named'DJ Zed' who, according to Adidas, has five mins to'run, moon-walk, climb walls, avoid some dodgy-looking bullies, collect power-ups, and pull off mad rooftop-to-rooftop stunts' to get on-stage before his set starts. It appears to be suitably retro -- see for yourself in the video we've included after the breakdance.

3. He analyzed the casino bonuses one by one and maximized his starting position. Almost all of the casinos offer an initial deposit bonus. Some even offer a second and third deposit bonus. On all of these promotions there are limits as to how much they allow as a bonus. In this case study the client played on all three deposit bonuses. First Deposit: 100% up to $150. Needless to say his first casino deposit was $150 (via Neteller) Second Deposit: 50% up to $150. His second deposit was $300 (via Neteller) giving him a bonus of $150. Again, he maximized his bonus allotment. Third Deposit: 75% up to $75. He deposited $100 (via Neteller) for a $75 bonus. In addition to the deposit bounses there was a Neteller deposit bouns. Neteller Deposit Bonus: Neteller bonus is a fixed 10% on all Neteller deposits. His total deposit was $550. So his bonus was $55.

Everything about horse betting

Successful horse race wagering takes a degree of skill and research. Unlike most sporting match ups where you have a fifty-fifty chance of winning by random choice, with an average field of 8 horses, the horse player only has a 12.5% chance of winning by chance. Let's put fun into the sport for the casual fan. A two horse match up takes wagering on horse racing back to its earliest and simplest form; "I bet my horse can beat yours!" But there's no need to stop there, horse racing offers a myriad of options for wagering; which horse will be in the lead at each point of call, which jockey or trainer will have the most wins for the day, and how about betting a horse to lose. These are just a few options that come to mind.
[url=http://www.pulsebet.com]online horses[/url]
The breeding, training and racing of horses in many countries is now a significant economic activity as, to a greater extent, is the gambling industry, which is largely supported by it. Exceptional horses can win millions of dollars and make millions more by providing stud services, such as horse breeding. Good quality race horses for example, is only available from few countries and few breeders this adds a great deal to the national income of the country involved.

The Triple Crown stands as the ultimate test of greatness, and that's why on the first Saturday in May each year, America's thoughts turn to horse racing and the hope of just one more Triple Crown winner. Because we do, after all, need another hero.

Please let me know if it is off topic here.
Here is the guide, wish it would do people a favor.

The Difference Between Blu-ray and DVD
With the popularity of Blu-ray, many people still can't tell Blu-ray from DVD.
If you do not know the difference between Blu-ray and DVD exactly, you can find your answer from the table below.
Parameters Blu-ray DVD
Storage capacity 25GB (single-layer) 4.7GB (single-layer)
50GB (dual-layer) 8.5GB (dual-layer)
Laser wavelength 405nm (blue laser) 650nm (red laser)
Numerical aperture (NA) 0.85 0.60
Disc diameter 120mm 120mm
Disc thickness 1.2mm 1.2mm
Protection layer 0.1mm 0.6mm
Hard coating Yes No
Track pitch 0.32μm 0.74μm
Data transfer rate (data) 36.0Mbps (1x) 11.08Mbps (1x)
Data transfer rate (video/audio) 54.0Mbps (1.5x) 10.08Mbps (<1x)
Video resolution (max) 1920×1080 (1080p) 720×480/720×576 (480i/576i)
Video bit rate (max) 40.0Mbps 9.8Mbps

Interactivity BD-J DVD-Video
Blu-Ray uses a blue-violet laser as opposed to the red laser used on DVDs. This allows Blu-Ray discs to hold a lot more information on them than DVDs.
This increase in the amount of information that can be stored on a disc allows you to put High-Definition movies on a disc and not run out of space, since the average HD movie will take up about 15-20 GB of space.
If you have not seen an HD movie yet I would suggest stopping by your local Best Buy or Circuit City and looking at a Blu-Ray display. The images are sharper, brighter, and more detailed than any DVD movie. What manufacturers are trying to do is make the movie look as close to what you see in a real theater as possible, except for its a tenth the size and in your home.
Blu-Rays cannot be played in a traditional DVD player, which means that you will eventually have to buy a blu-ray player. However, all blu-ray players can play DVDs, and they upscale the images to look better on an HD screen, up to 1080p.
So, while you will have to get a new Blu-Ray player to play HD movies, you can still see all of your current DVDs on the same player, and they'll be enhanced.
In essence, Blu-Ray will replace DVD just as DVD replaced VHS and the CD replaced the Casette Tape.
