Subject: What do you think? |
Bible Note: Greetings Bill Mc! I have been following some of these posts! I agree with you that Christ never stopped being God. However, I do have one question. Since "sins" are not physical things, how could Christ physically bear them in His body? I agree with Kalos on this point! The sacrifice in the Old Testament (Heb. 10:5, 10 as you pointed out with reference to Christ) took our place as a stand in. In the same way, Christ took our place upon the cross. Thus, He became our sin offering. However, sins are not physical things that He could carry in His body like a virus. They are acts of disobedience for which we deserve to die. I don't think it is a question of God pretending to make Christ our sin sacrifice. He was our sin sacrifice, our substitute. Let me know what you think! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
