You know Josh, you flip through that Bible with very little regard for the context. You treat the Bible as though it were a book of numbered quotations randomly collected and unrelated to each other. Josh was more interested in finding the next verse than in listening to Jennifer. The Old Testament Scriptures were written on huge scrolls that had to be unrolled-just straight text with no divisions. The New Testament writings were handwritten on papyrus or parchment.
Verse numbers make it easier to use the Bible.
I just gave you a lot of verses that prove my view of baptism, and you give me a history lesson. You treat the Bible as though it were a collection of unrelated, numerically arranged sentences to pluck out at will. The Bible is actually made up of whole writings to be read in context. Remember that 'A text without a context is a pretext'. Then why misuse the Bible that way.
