Bible Question:
Acts 4:27,28 "For truly in this city there were gathered together against Your holy servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose predestined to occur. Dear Jeff, The Bible indicates that all men (Jews and Gentiles alike) were responsible. It also informs them that God Himself predestined everything that occured! To single out the Jews as a race is a travesty of justice. Not all Jews called for Christ's death anymore than did all Gentiles. The crucifixion was planned by God and carried out by wicked men. They meant it for evil but God meant it for good. Now who are we to hold responsible? John |
Bible Answer: Just a few verses from the NLT that might help you with the anwser. May God bless 1 Corinthians 15:3 I passed on to you what was most important and what had also been passed on to me--that Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said. Galatians 1:4 He died for our sins, just as God our Father planned, in order to rescue us from this evil world in which we live. Hebrews 9:28 so also Christ died only once as a sacrifice to take away the sins of many people. He will come again but not to deal with our sins again. This time he will bring salvation to all those who are eagerly waiting for him. 1 Peter 3:18 Christ also suffered when he died for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but he died for sinners that he might bring us safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but he was raised to life in the Spirit.[3:18 Or [spirit.] ] |
