Bible Question: I wanted to ask as to what extent does this phrase go " He made Christ to be sin.." Some denominations says, "that Jesus went to hell", another says "Jesus becane sin(changed His nature, thats why the Father turned His face from Him)" another says"Jesus died spiritually" and that "Jesus was born-again from death and became the first born again person... are these statements biblical? |
Bible Answer: Hello friend, this is a very good question. As I look back at the old testament I recall reading that God required sacrifices that had to be without blemish (they had to be without defect). Look at colossians 1:22, 1Peter 1:19, Numbers 19:2, Leviticus 22:21, Ephesains 5:27. Christ(he was without sin)was made to represent sin, to take the punishment for us. |
