lol i think i am just typing this so i dont have to finsh my research paper on John The Baptist.
hi
John the Baptist's real name is simply "John." He is referred to as "the Baptist" because he baptized people, including Jesus, as a sign of repentance. In the context of biblical texts, he is often referred to as "John" without any additional names.
There is a St. John the Baptist but no St. John Paul the Baptist.
John the Baptist was not a crazy person. people believe that because they would NEVER baptize Jesus or do anything that John did. and since most people don't like to admit this they say that the people who do these things are crazy.
I think this has been answered before: "Come forth and repent your sins, get baptised in the river Jordan."
