    Was Christ really punished for our sins?

    No, Jesus is not wrong about that. I know you simply do not get it. Evidently you cannot comprehend the significance of Christ's sacrifice.

    Was Christ really punished for our sins?

    Yes he was for that moment, did he pay the death penalty for zilch? Yes I agree He is God, confusion lies in the definition of God. We know there is one God (1 Cor 8:4;Deut six;4), along with God aka Elohim (Gen 1:1) the plural form indicates more than 1 being in the Godhead, but they are still...

    Was Christ really punished for our sins?

    Ok. But if you really ponder it do you think a merciful God would let an unrepentant sinner continue to live in total misery not wanting to conform to His life & awesome purpose he has for a person who chooses to accept Christ's sacrifice & not take the eternal death penalty? For e.g. Satan, he...

    1) God’s Word validates that He received the full death penalty punishment, He suffered an excruciating death for this world’s sins. How? He emptied himself of His glory He became human , was tempted, persecuted, despised, mocked, horrifically beaten, humiliated, abandoned & totally...

    Was Christ really punished for our sins?

    I’m speaking from a biblical perspective the requirement works if it pertains to genuine repentance towards God for their sins. The atheist broke God’s law; repentance is primarily towards the Eternal God. The atheist has only “repented” towards his fellow man not to God otherwise he wouldn’t be...

    Was Christ really punished for our sins?

    I assume they all apply to His death. Rom 5:8-10 His death makes possible the forgiveness of sin (his death eradicates it), this would imply forgiveness requires acceptance of Christ’s sacrifice refer to 2 Col 2:11-13. I reiterate repentance requires change, it is not limited to being only sorry...

    Was Christ really punished for our sins?

    The answer lies in the meaning of Genuine Repentance. I'm sure your familiar with the fundamental comprehension of it - i.e. to change - to turn away from, changing your direction from your own conceited way of life to fervently embracing God's way of life. Repentance also involves living...

    The Sabbath's purpose

    Hi John, Nice to read you. I believe God instituted the Sabbath for many purposes: The Sabbath is to be a day of Physical Rest & Spiritual Rejuvenation. It is meant to be a welcome, refreshing rest from our weekly labors, a time during which we must no longer be absorbed in our ordinary daily...

    How many raptures?

    Hey Topic Writer The Title of your Topic is "How many raptures?" None, its a superficial doctrine, there is no biblical validation. It does not state in the bible that we are secretly raptured away to heaven at Christs 2nd Coming. Please correct me if I'm wrong with biblical scriptures to...

    No, the 10 Commandments were not nailed to the cross, they most definitely are still effect. I agree with you Judah, I actually enjoyed reading this topic. :) The "handwriting of ordinances"(also known as handwriting of requirements) in Col 2:14 is not referring to the law (the 10...

    A Question for Christians

    But you referred to the Holy Spirit as a person did you not??? That was the relevancy of my posts, to clarify the misconception. The Holy Spirit is not a person divine or otherwise.... E.g. We are told that the Holy Spirit can be quenched 1 Thess 5:19 That it can be poured out Acts 2:17,33. That...
