Hi, Ngop! In order to understand one passage of the Bible we must place it in context with the entire Bible. Ezekiel 18:31-32 tells us what God (the Father) trully wants. His Plan for Salvation is all encompassing! The Word (Verb) reason for encarnating as Jesus Christ is to carry forth this Plan: John 6:40 and Jonh 10:10. Now, does this mean that we all have carte blance, as some erroneous interpretations of the passage that guarantees that those who are in the spirit are above the law desire to interpret? The condition is set for our salvation: repent and return to God: Is 1:18-19. All are inclusive in God's Salvation--even all of those involved in our Lord's crucifixion. The question is: from Judas to the guards posted at the tomb, did any of them opened their hearts, minds and spirit to the Father's calling! These were fortunate to have Jesus Christ Himself appeal to the Father's forviness--did they repent, did they humbly return to God? |

Jcrichton, Greeting and thanks for the response. My question is not aimed at the prophecy of the coming of the Messiah. I am after those who crucified Jesus and Jesus asked the Father to forgive. The first point is : 1. Since Jesus was the one who asked the Father, were the sins forgiven? 2. When Jesus said " They do not know what they were doing" , being God, He knew their hearts? God bless Ngop |

Hi, Ngop! I believe that Jesus was offering a gift of love and forvigness to them (as the prayer He taught the disciples: "forgive us our trespass...". Jesus is God, but as the Son of Man, the Anointed One, He could not reveal all Truth nor could he disobey the Law. Remember, Jesus came to fulfill the Law. Everything pertenaining to Him had to be within the Law (i.e.: John the Baptist argument that Jesus should be the one to baptize him--Jesus responded that He had to fulfill the Law. Jesus was God, but John had to baptize Him in order to fulfill the prophecies regarding Joshua--the Lord's Anointed. Have you notice that Jesus called Himself the Son of Man, and not the Son of God? Some religious groups think that statement means that Jesus is a creature and not God. Another passage that seems confusing is Jesus stating that no one knew the date and time of the end of times, not even the Son of Man... Some groups believe that Jesus is stating that He does not know all, therefore He cannot be God (God Almighty)... I hope that I am not confusing you by using so many examples! What we must understand is that Jesus as the Mesiah did not come to give full wisdom. He came a the Lamb of God. And everything He said and did was to fulfill that particular part of the Divine Plan. Further, He promises His disciples that they would not be abandoned, that He will send another: the Paraclete, who will come in His Name and teach them everything and remind them of His teachings. As God, Jesus has all knowledge and all power. But as the Son of Man, God's only begotten Son, He must obey the Father and, by example, teach us to obey! Did Jesus give carte blanche to those who crucified Him? No! But He, as our Mediator, apealled to the Father to call them to Salvation. Did they listen to the Father's call. One day we may know! I truly hope that this has help you with your two part question. Feel free to drop another question or note! Maran atha! |
