atonement

- Going to Heaven.... Reader.. Christianity is spiritual. "God is A Spirit". The bible teaches us that the things we can see are going to go away, turn into nothing, and the things we can't see are ETERNAL. YOU are a spirit being, who is living inside a currently aging toward death, body...

A fresh look at the ‘seventy weeks’ prophecy. Jesus of Nazareth is revealed as the Anointed One who finished transgression, made an end of sins, and reconciled us to God. I bought this message to our church in Easter 2019, and have only now got it on the Internet for 2023. We were doing a...

KJV Dictionary Definition: PROPITIATION, n. propisia'shon. 2. In theology, the atonement or atoning sacrifice offered to God to assuage his wrath and render him propitious to sinners. Christ is the propitiation for the sins of men. Rom.3. 1 John 2. PROPITIABLE - Definition from the KJV...

Thank you, Humble Penny. We share an interest in an important, but overlooked subject – the march of Old Testament chronology as it progressed toward Messiah’s new covenant. It began for me about fifteen years ago while struggling with Daniel’s prophecy of the 70 weeks. ‘The Atonement Clock’...

Hello Semper Reformada! Starting a thread here on interesting eschatological things peeps have found in the Bible! For example: the question of "the great tribulation" being connected to the atonement? 3 days & 3 nights in the heart of the earth: (dinner at Simon the Leper - Tuesday night)...

St. John Paul II teaches that through our suffering we can share in Jesus' redemptive suffering and thereby help others achieve salvation. J. Sollier defines redemption as either 1) paying a ransom price for sin or 2) atonement for an offense. Together this raises two questions: How is...

The high priest serves as a mediator between God & the people. Hebrews 3: 1 Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, who share in the heavenly calling, [thoughtfully and attentively] consider the Apostle and High Priest whom we confessed [as ours when we accepted Him as Savior], namely, Jesus; 2...

As with all that God does -- there is "infinity" in the depth of His teaching, His concepts of Truth. For example - the Atonement: And some basic questions to keep in mind. Does God's definition for the full scope of atonement as He defines it in Lev 16 "Day of Atonement" end with Christ's...

Will a third physical Temple of God be built? No. The prophecies in the book of Ezekiel range from the destruction of Solomon’s Temple to the Jewish people’s exile into Babylon, to the building of the second Temple of God, to the distant future of the coming of the Messiah and then the...

I know Christ was offered as a sacrifice for our sins. I am wondering how is Christ as "Lamb of God" viewed in Orthodoxy different from Catholic Satisfaction Theory and the Penal Substitution?

Since Christ, according to Lutherans, bore the wrath of God due to sinners, is it the case that Lutherans interpret Christ's descent to Hades as Christ suffering from the fires of Hell for three days?

When did the Jews stop offering animal sacrifices? Did they repair the curtain in the holy of holies? I know Jews still celebrate Yom Kippur for atonement of their sins, but my Jewish friends seem to be not quite sure why.

What are your favorite ones and why?

It is now the evening of the 18th where I am. As such, it is Yom Kippur. I've always found the symbolism of the Scapegoat especially poignant to Christ: The parallels to the Crucifixion, the blood spilt in Christ's passion, led into the wilderness, the tearing of the veil of the Holy of Holies...

I've been reading the Bible and stumbled on this verse. 1 Cor 15:17 If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. Paul says the resurrection was necessary for salvation, yet a SA model would not need a resurrection. Thoughts?

What I mean by "Atonement" is the process that Christ went through in the garden of Gethsemane, his suffering on the cross, etc. What do y'all think really happened there? what is the significance of it? I would appreciate y'alls opinions.

Both believers and unbelievers die and are resurrected later. After that, believers go to the New Earth and the rest of the people go to Hell, where they will be permanently separated from God (also called spiritual death). Is that the penalty for their sins or will they be in Hell because they...
