Thats true, I missed that water verse.
There is one, you are right. How did I miss that?
How did they get the water holy though? Just bless it?
Is the practice of splashing people in the pulpit a real practice?
I see dust had to go into the holy water though right?
And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it into the water
They dont put dust of the floor into the holy water do they?
Doesnt a woman drink it though?
Like its not splashed all over them but that holy water (with dust in it) is made to drink for some bad side effects if the person screwed up though right?

DesiredHaven, your questions are wonderful and simple, but not on this thread. Perhaps it will work out within a few days on another thread. (maybe here if someone is permitted)... Maybe (YHWH Willing).

please realize, that on a gentile forum open to , well, open.... like a public square in the middle of new york city, it is better not to put out too many if any pearls of any value...... they are reserved for those YHWH has called or chosen / set apart for HIMSELF.
 
YHWH PROVIDES. HE provided a ram for a sacrifice in place of ISAAC. He provided the PERFECT LAMB as a sacrifice for our sins. HE can provide water to immerse in the way they all did in HIS WORD.

YHWH PROVIDED MANNA. to feed quite a few people. and meat. and water in the desert. remember. YHWH ALWAYS PROVIDES.

Then he shall take some holy water in a clay jar and put some dust from the
tabernacle floor into the water.

Jesus does provide. Salvation comes through him, not H20. He saves at the 11th hour. He saves one second before death. He IS the water.
 
At church yesterday the Priest was sprinkling holy water on the people...No I'm not Catholic,however my husband's family is and I went along with them to church fir Easter. Anyway, is this biblical at all? I know there's announcing oil.
No, and neither is the hierarchy of 'Priests'...and neither is the water 'holy'.

But Jeff-56 these things are written, with exception of how the water gets blessed (unless I missed that too)?

I am joshing with you on the rest of it, looks more like something that applies to nothing at all in an assembly so much by a similutude actually.

I just wanted how it was more literally interpreted ( given they dont do that today).

Thats always fun to watch those sorts of explanations, and I was just plain ol' curious lol

No worries. thanks

I know it might not be appropriate, coming from a heathen who calls Him Jesus, but don't you feel any obligation to at least publish a recipe for your Numbers water of mojo? If it's not too pearly, anyway, I bet even Yahweh Ben Yahweh or, what is it, crazy Buffalo Bill Hawkins in Texas would approve you providing a recipe. Or maybe at least a link to a reliable online vendor of this water, preferably who takes PayPal, if the recipe too pearly for any but the most special creatures, among the chosen few Jew-lites. You could otherwise send the entire Hebrew Roots movement to drinking from their mop pails, and would that be righteous?

Agree, but probably not recommended that anybody try to time anything that close!

2 Corinthians 6:2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)

Hebrews 3:15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

no worries....
.... shrugs shoulders with a sigh (at the pagans post no.25 following yours)

(example of the limits similar to new york city square limits)....

who said they don't do that today? (or that YHWH doesn't?) ... remember ananias and saphira... there have been many others ever since then.... even in the last few years..... as YHWH decides , plans, and purposes in yahshua and his flock on earth.... (no-- won't be much public notice of these examples, if any(it's disclosed as HE desires, for HIS people only,often, and others locally involved as YHWH decides))
 
There is a scientific basis of praying over water, it does changes the molecular structure of the water for the better but that can also be quickly changed once it's immediate environment changes but it does nothing for spiritual holiness, sprinkling water prayed over and touching your body does nothing.
There has been quite a lot of experiments on water, positive, loving affirming words spoken to water changes the molecular structure of water that benefits the body over water that has not been, even in a canister with the word love on it changes its structure. Water is effected either positively or negatively according to its surrounding environment.
I'm not so good at explaining things like this and I know it can sound weird but you need to watch a documentary called Water: The Great Mystery.
It's astounding how our actions and words effect the environment around us.
 
YHWH can provide water out of stone, remember? HE does whatever HE pleases, whatever HE WANTS TO DO, HE DOES. (and who can stop HIM? (no one).... :) )

:eek: ...and no more late afternoon coffee that isn't decaffeinated for you, young man!!
 
I've been told that you make holy water by boiling the heck out of it. The oil used in anointing is sold in the hardware store it's called 3 in 1 oil. Works good on door hinges as well.

Can you use WD-40 in a pinch, like if you're stuck on a high mountain?
 
Here maybe...

Numbers 8:7 And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them: Sprinkle water of purifying upon them, and let them shave all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and so make themselves clean.

I see this as the conscience as they were conscience of idols up to a certain hour

Ezek 36:25
Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.


Which in the NT spoke more to consciences in these things. I can see certain connections there, but the Catholic church (i its way) seems to obscure everything into nonsense with a little of truth and myth or something.


Yeah I was just going to bring that up....
 
Say I am a robber and Killer, then priest sprinkle holy water, does it change me, does it make me holy and not rob anymore?

If it does then let go to prison and sprinkle all the inmate with holy water.

Let go to rehabilitation center where the tax payer spend billions to help drug addict.

The New Testament Greek word for "holy" is hagios (hag'-ee-os) which, in a
nutshell, means consecrated. In other words: something set aside for and/or
designated for, God. So then; fluids like holy water and/or holy WD-40 aren't
necessarily magical; they're just special.

==========================

Appreciate your point there, though having a bit of difficulty with the holy WD-40 doctrine, "In other words: something set aside for and/or designated for, God." My God would assuredly use some other means to remediate a squeaky hinge, more problematic the notion He has any squeaky hinges, or, let's not mince words, any conceivable need for WD-40. Anything contrary seems an almost Catholic or Hebrew Roots notion. I'm not even certain the Trinity concept extends to 3-IN-ONE oil, but pagan as I've recently been designated, by a minion of Buffalo Bill Hawkins here, what could I possibly know?
 
When we say grace we bless our food and drink, thus it has been made holy or separate from common food and drink. Just a thought to ponder in meditation. God bless you.
