We do not argue opinions. We collaborate to solve the riddlewhich means he was a sinner.

A person who cannot solve riddles can't challenge them effectively:He was told to dip seven times.. If they don't see the answers, they simply don't see them. A proclamation that they don't see itand since seven means complete, is of no value. But one who can solve the riddles can challenge a solution by showing a verse where the metaphor does not mean the same thinghe was dipped completely. An open questionHe was baptizo-ed, a place where the metaphor when applied as proposed completeness of seven is not understood, remains an open riddle to be solvedrealized.

It :He was dipped in the water of the Jordan, or the 'Word of the Descender'. Jesus is my desire to share many things quickly so that a good sampling the Son of prophecy is available as examplesGod incarnate who descended from heaven. As we run into opportunities to talk of He was immersed in the mechanics Word of solving riddles, we will point to an appendixChrist.

There are several prophetic riddles concerning baptism: the flood, crossing the Red Sea, crossing the Jordan, Jonah cast into the sea, to mention a few. Each picture participates in the revelation of Jesus Christ. However, of particular importance is the story of Naaman. Naaman was a great captain in Syria who was a leper. <ref>[[2Ki 5:1]] ¶ Now Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honourable, because by him the LORD had given deliverance unto Syria: he was also a mighty man in valour, [but he was] a leper. {with: Heb. before} {honourable: or, gracious: Heb. lifted up, or, accepted in countenance} {deliverance: or, victory}</ref> Naaman told him to immerse himself seven times in the Jordan. <ref>[[2Ki 5:10]] And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean.</ref> When Naaman did it, he was cured and his skin became as that of a little child. <ref>[[2Ki 5:14]] Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.=References=<references/ref>
