And of what use is the physical blood of Jesus to a person who keeps asking for the blood but yet robs and kills innocent people?!

The death of Christ is of spiritual significance . There would be the loss of blood when nailed to a cross .

Then all the people that lived before Christ would be judged by what standard? Aren't they condemned to hell? Despite the fact Christ chose to come thereafter

They would be judged according to their works . You have asked me this question before na . You don forget ? Are these questions being asked perfunctorily - asked every time , over and over again - like a routine

But you just said there is no true righteousness without Christ, or does God accept their false righteousness? Or probably you don't understand the significance of what you said.

But pains and suffering, and blood loss don't ordinarily have spiritual significance so why does Jesus's own have?

Obviously in this dispensation na . Those before Christ would be judged according to their works .

But the value of their works would be useless since it was impossible to attain true righteousness with Jesus Christ. So they are supposedly condemned!

Then it was through done differently , burnt offerings and what have you but now it's with Christ . So true righteousness was validated differently but now it's with Christ .

There are three members of the Godhead - Yahweh , Jesus and the Holy Spirit . Yahweh is addressed as the father , Jesus as the Son and the Holy Spirit as the Spirit of God/Comforter .

These three are one .

Stay there and keep asking questions with obvious answers.

I don't know how a jewish man supposedly dying, pays for the sins I (a black man) could not have committed at the time.

Makes no sense whatsoever.


It must be very hard for you.

If Jesus died on the cross and spent three days in hell to pay for the sins of the world, then why would we have to go to hell ourselves and pay for them again?


God is then, in essence, being paid for our sins twice. With that said, was Jesus' sacrifice not worthy enough? If that is the case, why should we care that he died for our sins if his sacrifice means nothing at all?




Your contributions would go a long way in helping out a lot of faithless souls out there

To what purpose was the validation changed?

Do you mean that every pain, blood, tears, word, laughter of Jesus acquires a spiritual significance because he is divine right?

@gombs

I'm surprised that to you implicit is synonymous with absolutely.

Nonetheless you have to agree that by God's permission, evil exists. For evil to exist without God's permission would God is not absolutely.

The same purpose . Just that things got done differently .

Not every na . The travails of the cross

1. The purpose has changed because people lost the power to be righteous by themselves without Christ. The present validation is even worse.

2. This travails of the cross is special because it was only Jesus or because of Jesus and the cross?

Its your opinion . Its better by the way . The purpose is the same - to save mankind .

2. This travails of the cross is special because it was only Jesus or because of Jesus and the cross?

Because He is God but humbled him to face such difficulties and sufferings . His experiences are of spiritual significance . E.g The stripes - for our healing . The shedding of his blood - for the cleansing of sin . The suffering - for us to be of good cheer and enjoy a good life etc /

1. How is the same?! More people who could have saved themselves by their own salvation are condemned because God wanted to make Jesus's sacrifice useful.

2. Now if I commit premeditated murder, what is the natural connection between my act and Jesus's suffering on the cross.

Can you stop getting up dander up ? smiley Its the same .

Pre- Christ era

Use of animal sacrifice for sin cleansing if you know God . Judged according to your self- righteousness if you dont know God .

Post-Christ era

Accept Christ as Lord and Savior for sin cleansing if you know God . Judged according to your self- righteousness if you didn't receive the Gospel

2. Now if I commit premeditated murder, what is the natural connection between my act and Jesus's suffering on the cross.

I dont get this question . But if you mean , the connection of sin and the significance of Christ's death then the connection is that you are remitted from paying for your sin
