Dear Brother Jochen,
As always, I am deeply honored by your response,
I will start where you do;
{ I just stumbled on an answer to your question:}
: John's Baptism was for the "Forgiveness of Sins",
: Why would Jesus be Baptised {Mark 1:4}
{Have a look at the page Why was Jesus Baptized?
I hope this is helpful.}
Yes, I found that most helpful, as all of your links, it
strengthens my Faith in Islam even more, which still leads me to
believe that your sights are really Islamic in disguise.
Your link above starts by saying:
{Baptism is the washing with water in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.}
Therefore we have 3 figures, that we would get baptised for.
{It signifies and seals our ingrafting into Christ and
partaking of the benefits of the covenant of Grace and our
engagement to be His.}
We get baptised to enter into a covenant, to join
the grace of the God, The 3 in 1.
Then your link attepts to give reason for the baptism of Jesus:
{Quite simply, Jesus was baptized so he could enter into the
Melchizedek priesthood so He could be the High Priest and offer
Himself as a sacrifice for our sins.}
Well, now I understand, Christianity has just "Upgraded" (again)
to a Forth God. Will you now be called "Quadrintity".
They will justify the promotion by saying Melchizedek has no begining
and no end, no Mother and no Father {Hebrew 7:3}.
Your answer according to the Christian preception of God is
illogical.
If Jesus is 1/3 of God, why would he need to be baptised to
"enter into the Melchizedek priesthood so He could be the High
Priest"
Unless being "High Priest" like Melchizedec {Gen.14:18}, was also
equal to God.
Thank you Brother Jochen, you have added another partner to the
Creator of the Universe, makeing Christianity even more divided.
You Christians amuse me, do you not know that God is punishing for
ununifying God's being, 1,2,3,4,... when will you believe in 1,
without partners?
Lets look at Fallicies in Trinity and who else is labeled as God's son and has the potential of also getting a raise to join the "Christian God club".
Any Prophet can join, prerequests are (preformed Miracles)
and have been called the (Son of God)
What type of Christian are you, what other types of Christians do
you not believe in, besides the Ones who found God Mighty, without
partners
Peace and Blessings,
Your Friend and Brother in Islam: Mohamed.
