Does this refer to the laying of sins on the scapegoat (i.e., covering it with the sins of the people) and, if so, why should this be termed “to make an atonement with him”? Yes, I believe this referred to the laying of sins on the scapegoat. Leviticus 16:20-22 explains that Aaron put on the […]

If you were initially baptised in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Mat. 28:19) do you need to be re-baptised because you were not baptized in Jesus’ name (as per Acts 2:38)?
If I understood the question correctly, this is a question about the two differing descriptions applied to Christian baptism. Acts 2:38 talks about being baptised “in the name of Jesus Christ” whereas Matthew 28:19 talks about being baptised “in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit”. The question […]

Could the ages listed prior to the Flood contain the month of death also?
Full question: “Could the ages listed prior to the flood contain the month of death also? 1000 = 100 years and 0 months 965 = 96 and 5 months Then after flood the month was dropped” This is an interesting question and, as far as it goes, an ingenuous attempt at solving the perceived problem […]
