1 | The ransom - God or man? | 1 Cor 15:21 | alienresident | 132361 | ||
Tim: In a previous post you cited 1 John 5:7 in support of the ransom having to be God Himself. If you're quoting the KJ, do you know that this verse is not inspired of God, but inserted in later copies? If not, can you explain why you used it? I could sit here and try to convince you how ridiculous it is to try to claim Jesus was both 100 percent man and 100 percent God, but why? He has to be either one or the other in my mind in order to conform to rational thought. Don't ask me to think irrationally for that's what Satan wants and I know you wouldn't intentionally side with him. |

2 | The ransom - God or man? | 1 Cor 15:21 | Morant61 | 132389 | ||
Greetings Alien Resident! I was beginning to suspect that the real problem in our discussion was that you had an agenda to prove. The JW's don't accept that Jesus is God, so they try to turn Him into a 'god'. You are trying to 'prove' that someone other than God could pay the price so that the sacrifice of Jesus makes sense in your theology. However, Scripture simply doesn't say what you have been trying to make it say my friend! Of course God incarnate can be 100 percent man and 100 percent God. Would it make more sense to say that God could cease to be God? The 'kenosis' of Phil. 2:5-11 explains it perfectly clearly. To put it a different way, God simply tied one arm behind His back. :-) But, Ps. 49:7-8 disproves your entire thesis my friend. No man can pay a ransom to God. Only God could do it, because God is the offended party, not man. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
