What does “he and his” mean?? “His” means his whole family and every translator realizes that.
The Holy Spirit wrote the Bible in such a way that anyone who wants to reject the authority Jesus gave to His Church can pull a verse or two out of context and start a whole movement as history will attest. Such is the case with the anabaptists in the 16th century. Those that follow this tradition of men demand the Church show them where the Apostles baptized babies. The Apostolic Tradition can only be kept by those who have Apostolic Succession. Of course we live in an age where anything goes and since the two witnesses are dead, the world rejoices at their corpses.
We were told false teachers would arise, so we aren’t surprised.
“What does “he and his” mean?? “His” means his whole family and every translator realizes that.”
No. Some say household. Some say something else. The word doesn’t exist in the inspired Scripture. There is absolutely no indication of a single infant in the passage.
“The Holy Spirit wrote the Bible in such a way that anyone who wants to reject the authority Jesus gave to His Church can pull a verse or two out of context and start a whole movement as history will attest.”
Here, we are talking about your one passage and I pointed out it does not say what you claim.
“Such is the case with the anabaptists in the 16th century. Those that follow this tradition of men demand the Church show them where the Apostles baptized babies.”
Which the Apostles are never recorded doing.
This is another distraction from the passage that never says infants were baptized.
“The Apostolic Tradition can only be kept by those who have Apostolic Succession.”
The Scriptures nowhere teach Apostolic succession.
This is another distraction from the passage that never says infants were baptized.
“Of course we live in an age where anything goes and since the two witnesses are dead, the world rejoices at their corpses.”
The two witnesses have not come yet. This is another distraction from the passage that never says infants were baptized.
“We were told false teachers would arise, so we aren’t surprised.”
They arose before John the Apostle was dead. They were prevalent and infiltrated the church, bringing pagan customs which are not “apostolic tradition.”
