1 | God can't die or look on sin! | Matt 27:46 | CDBJ | 225394 | ||
Jesus Christ in Him hypostatic union is 100 percent God and at the same time 100 percent man. Scripture tells us that there was darkness from the sixth hour to the ninth hour and that Jesus screamed out. Matthew 27:45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour. Matthew 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? It is assumed by most evangelicals, i.e. born again believers, that God the father during that period of time poured out the sins of the world on His Son, Jesus Christ. 1 John 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. Jesus was made sin at that point in time and God can’t look on sin, 2 Cor. 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. i.e. Thanatos in the Koine Greek or what we call in the English, spiritual death or separation from God. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Jesus is the most important person who has ever lived since he is the savior, God in human flesh. He is not half God and half man. He is fully divine and fully man. In other words, Jesus has two distinct natures: divine and human. Jesus is the Word who was God and was with God and was made flesh, (John 1:1,14). This means that in the single person of Jesus is both a human and divine nature, God and man. The divine nature was not changed when the Word became flesh (John 1:1,14). Instead, the Word was joined with humanity (Col. 2:9). Jesus' divine nature was not altered. Also, Jesus is not merely a man who "had God within Him" nor is he a man who "manifested the God principle." He is God in flesh, second person of the Trinity. "The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word," (Heb. 1:3). Jesus' two natures are not "mixed together," (Eutychianism) nor are they combined into a new God-man nature (Monophysitism). They are separate yet act as a unit in the one person of Jesus. This is called the Hypostatic Union. Now here comes the question and the problem, as it were! Since Jesus is 100 percent God as well as man what did the second person of the trinity do at the moment Christ was made sin for us? CDBJ |

2 | God can't die or look on sin! | Matt 27:46 | EdB | 225432 | ||
I'm back after a 5 year hiatus. A forum member sent me something the other day which made me think about the forum and so I visited the forum and saw this thread, I just had to comment. Where in scripture does it say God can't look upon sin? Isn't it when we are most in sin that God extends His hand of grace to us to pull us from the mire of sin? Also where in scripture does it say Jesus(God) died? Jesus(man) physically died but Jesus(God) being God and since God is Spirit never died. I think these two assumptions are based on the previous teaching centered around Jesus(man) cry from the cross, "My God why have you forsaken me" However what Jesus was echoing was David's lament from Psalm 22 which is prophetical picture of the cross. I beleive Jesus cried this out to cause the Jews to recall this exact event was propheized by David the prophet and was being enacted before their very eyes. And even when David cried this out it wasn't fact, David in his humanity was mistaken for God has promised never to forsake or abandon us. To hold to the idea that God would forsake us when we need Him most paints a picture of God that is unsupportted by the rest of scripture. God never departs from man, it is man that departed from God. |
