Subject: GOD TURNED HIS BACK ON JESUS WHEN JESUS |
Bible Note: Hi graceful, It is a mystery why God would die in our place. But I would have to agree with Radioman that we will not find in the Scriptures that He "became sin". I typed those words in the Search Bible Text here at the forum and it wasn't there. I didn't find it in my concordance anywhere. In looking at Psalm 22 right now, I reaffirm my choice of the NASB over the NKJ for that Psalm. The NKJ capitalizes the pronouns throughout, but when I consider verse 6 I can not agree with that interpretation. Psalm 22:6, "But I am a worm, and not a man,..." The NKJ does not capitalize "worm", and that is good, but that verse alone tells me that the main thrust of the Psalm is about David himself. And again, any forsakenness that Jesus would have felt would be that of a man [sic]. Psalm 22:19, "But Thou, O Lord, be not far off; O Thou my help, hasten to my assistance." John 8:55, "and you have not come to know Him, but I know Him;..." From the heart, Ray |
