Bible Question:
Tim, your post was helpful to me, thanks. Can I make the conclusion from your post that the requirement of the law tat sin results in death was satisfied by the physical sacrifice of Jesus dying physically? I still don't understand in what sense Jesus was abandoned by God. I don't see whether or not Jesus' spirit was separated from God. I haven't checked the discussion on other verses that has already been posted. Would someone summarize the issues raised in other threads? This thread has started me thinking again about the high price that Jesus paid. The fact that Jesus was in Hades is no small matter. Does trinity require that the Father was in Hades with Jesus? Although I see that the Deity of Jesus is a Biblical requirement I don’t clearly understand why so many make the doctrine of trinity THE deciding point of sound doctrine. |
Bible Answer: Greetings Dan58! Thank you! Yes, I do believe that Scripture teaches that the physical death of Christ was sufficent to atone for sin. This is one of the areas where so many WOF teachers seem to miss the mark. Scripture does not teach anywhere that Christ suffered in Hell. The paradise side of Hades is not what we think of when we use the term Hell. Concerning His being forsaken, I would say that what Jesus was referring to was the darkness which fell on the land for three hours. Many believe that in that period of time, God the Father turned His face away from the cross. I have a hard time seeing this as a reference to something which happened after the death of Christ, since He spoke these words while He was yet alive. Well, I have to get a couple hours of sleep before church this morning. Chat with you later! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
