Subject: Cup Passed? |
Bible Note: I've been looking for scripture to back up my position and I must admit the only ones I can find are those already cited about Jesus cry asking His Father why He forsook Him and the extended period of darkness. I may be suffering from a lifetime of being taught this conclusion based on these verses so I'll continue looking for something more specific. BUT maybe I can ask what is YOUR response to these verses? Do you have an explanation as to why these actions happened AND are cited in the Bible for our benefit? One more verse, unrelated to the discussion above but might be an answer to your question: 1 Pet 3:18 For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit, 19through whom also he went and preached to the spirits in prison 20who disobeyed long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. Do you think God went to this prison with His Son after He died here on earth? I shouldn't think so but I'll try to be open-minded. I'd be interested in seeing your response to this verse. God bless. --Rowdy |
