These words were spoken to John's father Zechariah by the angel Gabriel. So it was clear from the beginning that John was not Elijah the Tishbite but that the Spirit of E.T. would be in John. So that's why John could say I am not Eliyah... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Limudyah) http://sabdiscussionboard.yuku.com/sreply/7555 Tue, 08 Aug 2006 06:46:28 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Matthew 11:14 - Was John The Baptist Elijah? ]]> http://sabdiscussionboard.yuku.com/reply/7554/t/Matthew-11-14-Was-John-The-Baptist-Elijah-.html#reply-7554

If John the Baptist had realised that he was Elijah and profess such to the Jews and they believed in him, then they would have believed Jesus was the Messiah, the Saviour, and he would not have been crucified for the redemption of our sins. Jesus crucifixion was a major constituent of the mission of the Messiah.
HAHA! You're kidding!

So rather than make Jesus' identity... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Yark Hutprancer) http://sabdiscussionboard.yuku.com/sreply/7553 Fri, 28 Apr 2006 12:15:41 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Matthew 11:14 - Was John The Baptist Elijah? ]]> http://sabdiscussionboard.yuku.com/reply/7552/t/Matthew-11-14-Was-John-The-Baptist-Elijah-.html#reply-7552 feeds@yuku.com (slykul) http://sabdiscussionboard.yuku.com/sreply/7552 Fri, 28 Apr 2006 11:44:07 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Matthew 11:14 - Was John The Baptist Elijah? ]]> http://sabdiscussionboard.yuku.com/reply/7548/t/Matthew-11-14-Was-John-The-Baptist-Elijah-.html#reply-7548

John the Baptist lied because he was afraid of being persecuted along with Jesus' followers.

God tried three times to send a prophet with a perfect family. The first attempt was through Adam. That failed because Eve fell prey to the temptation of the serpent.

The second attempt was through Jesus. That failed because Jesus did not get the support he needed from John the Baptist.... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (tomato) http://sabdiscussionboard.yuku.com/sreply/7551 Sat, 17 Dec 2005 16:01:54 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Matthew 11:14 - Was John The Baptist Elijah? ]]> http://sabdiscussionboard.yuku.com/reply/7550/t/Matthew-11-14-Was-John-The-Baptist-Elijah-.html#reply-7550
Now, can we discuss 'satire?'

You go first.

Nobody is born already believing in God.
Also by that phrase and logic, we know that God wants Atheists to be as they are, Atheists. How do we know that? Because they already are atheists, thus your gods will.

SW: "Oh, so John the Baptist just got the wrong impression. I see. He thought that when he was asked Are you Elijah they meant Are you Elijah? But, of course, they didnt."

When they asked, "Are you Elijah?" they probably had a literal picture in their minds; they /did/ mean exactly what they asked: "Are you Elijah?" -- defining Elijah as the prophet who had been last seen in a whirlwind and chariot of fire.

The "if ye will receive it" phrase could be validly paraphrased as, "If you look at it the right way."

If one brings incorrect assumptions to the table -- "John the Baptist is a reincarnation of Elijah" or "John the Baptist is not the child of Zechariah and Elizabeth; he is Elijah the Tishbite who recently landed his fiery chariot in the Judean desert" -- then one will get the wrong impression from the statement that John... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Waterrock) http://sabdiscussionboard.yuku.com/sreply/7544 Tue, 06 Sep 2005 10:41:49 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Matthew 11:14 - Was John The Baptist Elijah? ]]> http://sabdiscussionboard.yuku.com/reply/7543/t/Matthew-11-14-Was-John-The-Baptist-Elijah-.html#reply-7543
I agree with you, Waterrock. I can't receive it either. Jesus was just plain wrong. (But it's okay to be wrong once in a while.)
