Today,
the reply acknowledges that more than dying on the cross was provided
by Jesus Christ during his ministry on the earth. Jesus served as an anointed High Priest to make atonement for sin. The good works
Jesus performed included comfort, exorcism, healing, miracles, and
teaching. In addition to fulfilling divine proclamation, promise,
and prophecy on the cross, Christ became the embodiment of sin, and
was destroyed by the Godhead in accord. More than this, the Savior
established the new covenant promised to the Jews that also applies
to all mankind, and Christ addressed the human predicament that
resulted from the operations of sin by furthering the restoration of
humanity through forgiveness and reconciliation. Because of his
resurrection, those who come to Christ now receive eternal life, and
exist as the new creation.
It is written: Psalms 51: 9-12, King James Version (KJV): 9 Hide
thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. 10 Create
in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. 11
Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from
me. 12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with
thy free spirit. A fighter in the “Yahoo! Answers” pubic forum

Did
the all knowing magic god Jesus know his crucifixion was a total
waste of time and that humanity would keep on sinning?
THE
GOLDEN ARROW: Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new
creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become
new. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by
Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself,
not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us
the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ,
as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s
stead, be ye reconciled to God. For he hath made him to be sin for
us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God
in him. (2nd Corinthians 5: 17-21, KJV)

DOUBLE DAGGER: Sin Depicted Using Flesh (11/22/2019); Taboo To Be

Last Days (11/14/2012)
“Bob”,
as surely as Jesus knew that there would be mockers and scorners like
those appearing in this public forum, the Son of the Highest
understood that the redemption and salvation of mankind requires more
than (1) forgiveness and forbearance; (2) more than the appearance of
divinity in human flesh (we say, Incarnation); (3) more than that
Jesus endure the conditions for existence and life that resulted from
the sin of Adam (we say, the human predicament that includes agony,
humiliation, mortality, and suffering); (4) more than death of a holy
one on the cross to provide pure blood for a priestly atonement; and
(5) more than resurrection from the dead to establish a new platform
for divine judgment that provides grace and mercy in addition to the
second death.
Mankind
would have to receive fresh endowments of the same life essence
(breath; spirit; word) originally imparted to Adam from the makeup of
GOD. As companions to immortal, incorruptible divinity mankind is to
resemble, reflect, and reveal the image of GOD, and display the
character and nature of Jesus Christ. Sinners who become
“born-again” receive into their consciousness and self-will
inseparable aspects of divine fullness. Included are balance,
completeness, expectation (hope), faith, holiness, longsuffering,
lovingkindness, oneness without sameness, personhood, wisdom, and
wrath against sin. Those who are born-again are to “grow-up again”
while living on the earth, and are to become mature/ripe for harvest
by the Lord at his appearing (we also say, Advent; the Rapture; the
Second Coming).
Developing
and mature Christian believers now are in an ongoing process of
transformation through discovery, gradual growth, sacred practices
(e.g., fasting, praise, prayer), study of the Scriptures, unselfish
service, and the endurance of suffering. Death and all sin will be
eliminated from the lives of those called “the just,” and they
will be made perfected as they meet the Lord in the air. There first
must be tribunals of judgment against “the wicked” before sin is
eradicated from their lives, and they themselves are released from
existence. Consider again the following that uses language from the
Bible, and a selection from the acapella music ministry of Glad;
(1.)
1st Corinthians 1: 17-18, King James Version (KJV): 17
For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not
with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none
effect. 18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish
foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
(2.)
1st John 1: 5-10, KJV: 5 This then is the message which
we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in
him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say that we have fellowship with
him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 7 But if we
walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with
another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all
sin. 8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the
truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and
just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a
liar, and his word is not in us.
(3.)
Revelation 21: 6-8, KJV: 6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am
Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that
is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. 7 He that
overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he
shall be my son. 8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the
abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and
idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which
burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
There
is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually
apprehended. (For example, (4.)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rmu9V5kEHQ.) Even
so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according
to your faith.
