Bible Question:
Quote from Lionheart: "2 Corinthians 5:21 says He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf,that we might become the righteousness of God in him. Pretty self explanitory. I'm not being sarcastic or mean spirited here. Thats not my heart or intention. Jesus was sinless and took our sin upon himself. This is a discussion that comes up quite frequently. There are a lot of what if's would haves or could haves that come up durring these types of discissions.It is incumbent on people to get into the bible and do their homework.(2 Timothy 2:15) do this the answers are there. Read Hebrews it will give you an outstanding picture of the person and ministry of Jesus Christ. In Christ, lionheart" - Doesn't this just mean that Jesus became sinless after being a sinner for awhile? |
Bible Answer: Nyet,no,absolutly not.The greek word ginosko (know) is used in 2 corinthians 5:21.When Jesus went to the cross he had no sin. Sin came as he took our sin upon Himself.Read OT guidlines regarding sin offerings.The common thread through all of the guidlines was that the sacrifice had to be spotless and without blemish.Jesus Christ fullfilled that requirement. If Jesus had any sin prior to his crucifixtion then he could not have legaly been the substitutional sacrifice for our sins. In Christ, lionheart |
