Talking to someone who doesn’t believe in hell

 Talking to someone who doesn’t believe in hell  First you requires patience, respect, and a focus on understanding their perspective. Here’s how you can approach the conversation:   1. Listen First – Ask why they don’t believe in hell. Are their doubts based on logic, emotions, or lack of evidence? Understanding their reasoning helps you respond thoughtfully.   2.

Why Was Jesus Baptized

 Why Was Jesus Baptized  


According to the Bible, Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist (John 1:29-34; Matthew 3:13-17; Mark 1:9-11; Luke 3:21-22). At that time, Jesus was a devout Jew, as He was born and raised in Jewish tradition.  


Some key points:  

1. Jesus was Jewish – He was born into a Jewish family (Luke 2:21-24), circumcised according to the Law, and worshipped in the Temple.  

2. Jesus’ baptism was not repentance for sin – John the Baptist baptized people for repentance, but Jesus was sinless (Matthew 3:14-15). His baptism was more about fulfilling God’s plan and inaugurating His ministry.  

3. Christianity did not yet exist – The Christian faith emerged after Jesus’ resurrection and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost (Acts 2).  


Thus, at the time of His baptism, Jesus was Jewish, and the baptism took place within the context of Jewish tradition as a sign of the beginning of His mission.
