Subject: The ransom - God or man? |
Bible Note: Hello alienresident, Of course God could have accomplished this. He is the one most qualified to do so. No man or spirit being is perfect enough to accomplish such an all-encompassing sacrifice. Look. Jesus asked a man, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone" (Mark 10:17). That is a true statement. But if one believes that Jesus is not God in the flesh, then Jesus cannot possibly be good enough to atone for anyone's sin much less His own. Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of godliness: 1 Tim 3:16 (ESV) [Who] was manifested in the flesh, vindicated by the Spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed among the nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory.
