Subject: Crusifixtion a sacrafice? John 3:16 |
Bible Note: CDBJ, Excellent analysis. Just to augment; ...'It is finished"...carries a mush greater meaning than His physical life is ...'finished'. I doubt that was the motovation for the statement. But, rather, His assignment, penalty-pre-determined, was...'finished'..completed....accomplished...achieved, mastered and sealed. I do have trouble with your concluding theory however. To suggest He experienced ...'spiritual'... death conflicts with the meaning of the second death because of sinfulness. He never sinned. I submit,separation of the spirit from the body does not signify a death process of the spirit. The spirit is eternal... be it saved or condemed, which the Bible refers to as the..'second death'. |
