“Why don’t you just give me an example of a message, first plain and then seasoned with salt so I can understand where you are coming from. Okay?”
Perhaps after you tell my why you chose to interpret it to mean rubbing salt in wounds.
I never did interpret it that way, I said salt burns in open wounds, if you didn't have any wounds it would not burn. Have you ever has a salt sea scrub - - they are fantastic unless you have an open wound somewhere, then it burns and stings like all get-out. Now please give me an example of a plain message, and then the message seasoned with salt. Not honey, mind you, but salt.
You posted a single verse from ICor 15 to support the intricate and very involved practice by Mormons of being baptised for those who are dead. We've all been told why Mormons believe this is necessary and how it is a sacred ritual that can allow a dead person who did not accept Jesus as Lord while alive can have salvation after death through the ordinance of Mormon baptism IF they accept Jesus Lordhsip after they die. We won't delve into the implications of such a Mormonism claim as it would imply all Christianity had no authority to fulfill salvation without Mormon baptism until Authority was restored in Joe Smith ... that dog is a protect arena the moderator will ban me for addressing so it will remain in the pound.
Let's look at the context of the verse you cited, to see if Mormonism has misused this verse in order to create a notion that is not substantiated by the verse no longer standing alone ... a common practice of cults claiming Christian authority, BTW, is to pull a verse out of context. [That was the salt sprinkling out onto the morsel about to be offered, if you didn't notice, OS.]
I Cor 15:22-23 And as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all shall be made alive but every one in his own order: the firstfruits Christ, then they that are of Christ, who have believed in his coming.
15:24-25 Afterwards the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God and the Father, when he shall have brought to nought all principality, and power, and virtue for he must reign, until he hath put all his enemies under his feet.
15:26-27 And the enemy death shall be destroyed last: For he hath put all things under his feet. And whereas he saith, all things are put under him; undoubtedly, he is excepted, who put all things under him.
15:28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then the Son also himself shall be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
15:29-30 Otherwise what shall they do that are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not again at all? why are they then baptized for them? why also are we in danger every hour?
I Cor 15:31 I die daily, I protest by your glory, brethren, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.
When the verse is taken in context, we see that Paul was conveying a very different central message to the Corinthians, but your religion has tried to cite this verse as if Paul were teaching the Corinthians to be baptised for the dead, as if that ordinance would somehow convey something to dead people that they couldn't get or refused to get while alive. If you read the passage in the Greek, you see a very different essence to the passage given the voice of the verbs, where Paul is saying that dead people were baptised while they were alive and why were they doing that if they had no hope of resurrection? Paul even emphasizes the issue by calling attention to his own endangerment if his baptism was of no importance and if Christ is not putting everything under His feet, why would Paul place himself in such danger every hour for these Corinthians!
How's that salty morsel taste?
