Subject: What do you think? |
Bible Note: Dear kalos, please see my subsequent post to Steve. I don't agree with MacArthur here (John does write many good explanations, though). Christ DID bear all our sins in His body - 1 Pet 2:24, Heb 10:5,10. I respectfully submit that God is truth and He does not see something that is not there or not see something that is there. Scripture says that Christ bore our sins IN HIS BODY. I agree, Jesus was not a sinner. But to think that God just 'treats' people one way or another presupposes that God is pretending. I.e. God pretended to make Christ our sin sacrifice and God pretends to make us Christ's righteousness. Brother, I don't see it that way. Christ literally bore all my sins in His body and my spirit has, literally, been created in righteousness - Eph 4:24. My body is still unredeemed but my spirit has been baptized INTO Christ and therefore 'the one who joins himself to the Lord is one spirit with Him.' - 1 Cor 6:17. Christ is righteous, alive, and eternal and so is my spirit. In Him, Bill Mc |
