Why was it necessary for Jesus to be Baptized by John since Christ had no sins to...

It was God's way of proving to John that this was indeed the Messiah.
Because when Jesus was baptized when He came up out of the water, the Holy Spirit came down on Him like a dove and the Lord said this is My Son in Him I AM well pleased.
He had just come from the wilderness where He had been tempted by the devil.
 
John asked him the same thing and Jesus said lets do it this way this time.....John baptized Jesus in the name of the father and the son and the holy spirit.....a few years later they baptized only in Jesus' name.

Charles Barkley.....I don't know if you are teasing or really asking......if you are really asking...The New World Translation.
If you are poking fun.......I think I will have the last laugh.....because if you insult Jehovah you are in big trouble.

It would be better for you to be never born than whats going to happen to you.

Need advice?
Start a study with witnesses...it may be your only chance to survive...don't wait too long...God has a time schedule and it won't be late.

To fulfill the prophecies. Jesus was baptized because He had to fulfill the legal requirements for entering into the priesthood. He was priest after the order of Melchizedek (Psalm 110:4; Heb. 5:8-10; 6:20)Jesus became a sacrifice for our sin (1 Pet. 2:24; 2 Cor. 5:21)

To be considered a true priest, He had to be: Washed with water (Lev. 8:6; Exodus 29:4, Matt. 3:16). Anointed with oil (Lev. 8:12; Exodus 29:7; Matt. 3:16)........ Holy Spirit.\ and it was so when He was baptized in water and when the dove descended upon Him....."The Holy Spirit descended from heaven as a dove and rested upon Jesus" (Matt. 3:16). And God said "Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." Mark 1:11. As the Son of God, Jesus was the one God incarnate.

Getting baptized is not a confession of sin Dear one...

Peace and blessings from Texas <><
