Subject: Did Jesus die spiritually? |
Bible Note: Dear NWord, I understand your position on this controversial doctrine. It is clearly based in WOF teaching. It is not found in orthodox historical Christianity, nor is it supported, endorsed or otherwise interpreted by any recognized, and renown Biblical scholar. You say "Jesus body was not in the heart of the earth. His body was just in a tomb. Hell is in the heart of the earth. The Father forsook Jesus when He died, because he died spiritually, and then while in hell he was reborn, or born again" You've again failed to establish any valid scriptural link to this "opinion". Neither Matt.27:46 or 12:40 refer to "hell". As Jamieson, Fausett, and Brown note regarding this passage "The expression “in the heart of the earth,” suggested by the expression of Jonah with respect to the sea (Jon 2:3, in the Septuagint), means simply the grave, but this considered as the most emphatic expression of real and total entombment." "He would not have to be born again in hell, unless he had somehow become a sinner in our place. Right? " Wrong! "Born again in hell" is NOT a scriptural doctrine and has no support therefore from such! "Jesus was the first one born again. It wasn't because he rose from the dead. Lazerous rose from the dead, and he's not called the first born, is he?" Unless your reference is to Col.1:15, you are theologically confused on this point, if I can be so honest:-) If "prototokos" (Gr.)it is firstborn with reference to position, not chronology!Jesus was NOT "Born Again". He is God in the flesh ( John 1:14),and was without sin (2 Cor. 5:21). My dear friend, Lazarus was not God. Christs' vicarious atonement on the CROSS paid the full penalty for our sins because He was the spotless Lamb of God. According to Romans 4:25 "He who was delivered over because of our transgressions, and was raised because of our justification." His resurrection is the crux on which the entirety of our faith rests! Note 1 Cor. 15:14-17: "and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, your faith also is vain. 15 Moreover we are even found to be false witnesses of God, because we testified against God that He raised Christ, whom He did not raise, if in fact the dead are not raised. 16 For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised; 17 and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins." Going to 'hell" did not, would not, and does not atone for your or my sins! Only the blood of Christ does that. Speaking The Truth In Love, BradK |
