NASB | 1 Peter 2:24 and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Peter 2:24 He personally carried our sins in His body on the cross [willingly offering Himself on it, as on an altar of sacrifice], so that we might die to sin [becoming immune from the penalty and power of sin] and live for righteousness; for by His wounds you [who believe] have been healed. |
Bible Question: Jesus said I must work the works of Him that sent me...as long as I am in the world I am the light off the world. So are you saying Jesus isnt in this world any longer. Or that He healed the blind man to tick off his father.That reminds me of a story I heard of God aand Jesus sitting in heaven. God turns to Jesus and says what shall we do today? and Jesus says well lets heal this one give this one cancer make that one rich and take that ones home. That will cause them to worship us big time. I apologize that doesnt work with me. God says He is no respecter of persons so how can He heal at the same time as caausing sickness? |
Bible Answer: You wrote: "That reminds me of a story I heard of God aand Jesus sitting in heaven. God turns to Jesus and says what shall we do today? and Jesus says well lets heal this one give this one cancer make that one rich and take that ones home. That will cause them to worship us big time." Very simplistic view of the interaction between the Father and Jesus. Did they share some peach cobbler after this exchange? Toss some horseshoes? The fact is that God has brought individuals to Himself by means of unpleasant circumstances. Both Scripture and church history attest to this fact. Mocking God's sovereign interaction with humanity because you are not omniscient enough to fully grasp it is quite immature. "God says He is no respecter of persons so how can He heal at the same time as caausing sickness?" Where does Scripture say that God is not a "respecter of persons"? According to the context of that statement, in what regard is God not a respecter of persons? --Joe! |
