Subject: ARE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS ABOLISHED ? |
Bible Note: When the Bible says that the wages of sin is death; what is it referring to since there are 7 different types of death mentioned in the Bible? Romans 6:23 (NKJV) (A) 23 For the wages of sin is death, When Jesus said it is finished in John 19:30 he wasn’t dead yet so it couldn’t have been His physical that paid the price for sin. John 19:30 (NKJV) 30 So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, "It is finished!" And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit. The word finished in the English is translated from the Koine Greek verb “TELEO” and it is in the indicative mood which means it was “already a reality” at that point in time and the passive voice meaning He had received it so it wasn’t physical death that paid the price! The blood as referred in the OT is what’s known as a representative analogy: it foreshadowed what the Messiah would accomplish when He came into the world. It could only cover sin at that point in time until the Lamb of God would take it away. Again what death was it that paid the price for sin? If you suggest that it was physical death then when we die physically that would pay for our own sins and that won’t cut it! CDBJ |
