Bible Question:
This is not a heresy question! Most of us use to describe the blood of Jesus as atoning. But what I noticed is that atoneing is found no where in the NT. The KJV renders atonement once in the NT (Romans 5:11) But that word there should have been rendered reconcilation as the NASB renders it. Atone means to cover As I read Revelation 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, (KJV) Is it wrong to say that Jesus did not atone our sins but, say, He washed away our sins? because I don't see anywheres where His blood is atoneing or covers up our sin. |
Bible Answer: Greetings DarcyA! Intresting question my friend! 'Atonement' isn't really a Greek or a Hebrew word, it is an Anglo-saxon word used to translate several different Greek and Hebrew words. So, while their isn't 'one' word for atonement in the New Testament, there are several references to the concept of atonement in the New Testament. Heb. 9:6-15 compares the work of Christ on the cross to the Old Testament Day of Atonement. Heb. 10:5-18 does the same. The LXX uses the word 'hilosmos' to translate one of the three occurances of the 'Day of Atonement' in the OT. 1 John 2:2 also uses 'hilosmos' to refer to the effect of Christ's death upon the cross. So, I would say that it is appropriate to speak of the atoning power of the blood of Christ! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
