Subject: The ransom - God or man? |
Bible Note: You ask: "How do you reconcile your statement (above) with Scripture:" The prophecy at Dan 9:24-27 foretold the time of the Messiah. Thus the people were in expectation of him. (Luke 3:15) This timing is not crucial to the price of the ransom. It only serves to assist honest-hearted Jews to identify him as the true and only Messiah. Your quote in Hebrews is Paul's inspired description of Jesus' exalted position after God resurrected him. One has to start in the OT to understand divine justice. One has to understand why Adam could not be redeem by one of his offspring. I absolutely applaud God for his choice in Jesus as the ransom, and gladly cooperated with him in the role that God has now assigned him. The purpose of my discussion is to more fully understand the ransom, the we might be more fully motivated to dwell according to knowledge. |
