Ukelelemike,

In answer to your Bible trivia question. Ebenezer is a place where the Lord helped, (or helps), His people "Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Ebenezer, saying, Hetherto hath the LORD helped us." 1 Samuel 7:12

Ukelelemike,

In answer to your Bible trivia question. Ebenezer is a place where the Lord helped, (or helps), His people "Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Ebenezer, saying, Hetherto hath the LORD helped us." 1 Samuel 7:12

 

​Yes, indeed, though I guess I was vague in what I wanted. "Ebenezer means, literally, "Stone of help". But we'll call it good.

As for the unofficial question, the baptism was derived from the Jewish custom of tevilah where a convert to Judaism is completely immersed in a kosher mikveh. The point of the tevilah was to symbolize the person's total immersion into, and dedication to, the Jewish religion, entering the water a Gentile, and rising out as a Jew.  The symbolism is very similar to Christian Baptism, a symbol of the act of Christ as He died on the cross, and our joining with the local body. Both are a public profession of faith, though of course, John's baptism was a public profession of repentance.

So, Alan, you're up!

Ukelemelemike,

Thank you for the teaching us the Jewish custom, tevilah, of baptizing, by immersion, a Gentile convert to Judism.

Next question. Who smote Paul on the mouth for his testimony?

The high priest Ananias commanded whoever was standing near Paul to smite him on the mouth. 

Acts 23:1-2  1. And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day. 2. And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth.

King David, Psalm 95:8, "Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation  in the wilderness."

But, technically, the Holy Ghost, "Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To-day if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness." Hebrews 3:7 & 8 The writer of Hebrews quoted this verse from Psalm 95:8

Very good Alan.  I figured this would be a tough one since many people have a problem ascribing a "voice" or personality to the Holy Ghost and therefore it never dawns on them that the Holy Ghost could ever say something.

Your turn with a tough one.
