Baptism from Adam to the present day

Post by _squawkeye »

If Adam was baptized and this was a normal occurence in all Gods people from the beginning with Adam(though pre-adamites apparently didn't practice it) and Eve, why don't the Jews practice Baptism? Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist who was apparently Jewish. Where did John come up with the idea? Was it a common thing during his time?

According to Moses 3:

21 And I, the Lord God, caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam; and he slept, and I took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh in the stead thereof;
22 And the rib which I, the Lord God, had taken from man, made I a woman, and brought her unto the man.


Put Adam's "Christian baptism" in the same category. Myth, that is. Brigham Young didn't agree with this scenario. He believed that Adam was brought here from another planet, or retailer. Main factory - near Kolob. Dust to human - BS.

Mormonism is a mixture of the rational and the absurd. Trying to figure what is rational and what is absurd, is called "Mormon Theology". Which, according to apologists - doesn't exist. There is only doctrine, no theology. Take an asprin if you feel confused.
