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 Note: McCrossan’s book did not seem to be in conflict with Scripture as I read it, although I am in no way a qualified scholar. I have read a few other books and reference works that agree with McCrossan argument in the main. I have yet fully read Isarel’s Healer, which is very scholarly (quite a bit above my level of learning). However, I am listening to taped lessons by Dr. Brown that cover areas in the book. I can only say what I believe the Bible teaches and, as little of the Bible as I have studied, the teaching of healing in the atonement, physical as well as spiritual, seems to be affirmed. My intention was not to begin a debate on the issue but only to assist in gathering resources for the furtherance of one’s personal study on the subject. |
