Subject: God can't die or look on sin! |
Bible Note: CDBJ, We have to ask, what is it that scripture means when it says "He hath made him to be sin." Does it mean that in some way the actual nature of Christ changed? Did his body or form change as our sin was imputed to him? I think we'd agree not. Did in some way his being disposed to righteousness rather than sin change? I think we would agree not. In what sense was he "Made sin" for us? I would argue that this merely means that he was ascribed the punishment and guilt of our sin in a legal sense. Nothing in his nature changed, but merely his legal standing as guilty or innocent before God was altered on our behalf. Then comes the phrase that God can not look upon sin. This as I said in a previous post, means that God must punish sin, not that he in some way can't observe it. It means he can't stand by idly and ignore it. So then, God acted in punishing our sins in Christ. Therefore at no time was the nature of Christ changed nor did any problem arise in the union of his two natures. This is how I understand these things for what it is worth. In Christ, Beja |
