Bible Note: I think that in a way, that you are both right, now how is that for openers? The word for atonement in the Old Testament was KAPHAR, i.e. a covering; the sin was covered, but it was still there, until God's Messiah would come. The word that we have in the New Testament for atonement is KATALLAGE in the Greek, which is derived from KATALLASSO, to reconcile. Do you remember what John the Baptist said when he saw Jesus coming? (Behold the Lamb of God who covers our sin) ((NOT)) Behold the Lamb of God, that TAKES AWAY the sin of the World, it's gone. So now the issue isn't sin anymore, John 16:7-9, but Jesus. The only sin that can condemn a person now it the one that the Holy Spirit is convicting the World of, which is rejecting Jesus as their Savior. The only sin that Christ couldn't and didn't pay for is the sin of rejection. WOW, what a plan, and God the Father even has to reveal this to us! We that know this plan can't praise Him enough, Hallelujah what a savior! God is not willing that any should parish but that all would come to a change of mind about His Son Jesus the Christ. My two cents worth, CDBJ |
