Subject: what does Mark 8:27-38 verses mean |
Bible Note: "Theologically, God was responsible according to Acts 2:23" Was He? Acts 7:52 "Which one of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? They killed those who had previously announced the coming of the Righteous One, whose betrayers and murderers you have now become; 1 Cor 2:8 the wisdom which none of the rulers of this age has understood; for if they had understood it they would not have crucified the Lord of glory; And take out the dependent clause in the verse you quoted: Acts 2:23 this Man ... you nailed to a cross by the hands of godless men and put Him to death. God was not "responsible" for the murder of Christ; his murderers were "responsible." God's predestination does not make him "responsible." It makes him sovereign. Those who do the deeds, be they wicked or righteous, are "responsible." 2 Cor 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. |
