Hi Mahdi, So I'm reading this thread thinking the chapter is quite clear. It says what it says and now you and I both know that we cannot save our father, nor our son from "death" if they choose the wrong path, and we won't cause them any grief if we stray. Was trying to figure out what your point was. The real point of the chapter is in the quote below.
This is the verse the chapter is leading up to. Of course "die", and "live" mean die and go to hell, or die and go to heaven. There's no mention of atonement, no mention of sacrifice, the key word is repent. You repent, turn from your sins, get yourself a new heart, and a new spirit. <-----now that's interesting... I'm thinking the title of this thread was supposed to be "No Jesus can die for another man's sins, but then you use the Israelites as an example. It's like saying no car can go faster than 15 kph because a horse and buggy couldn't, 100s of yrs ago...(for starters) I enjoy your posts and ability to use the art of confusion to lead people on. It becomes quite informative, in an off topic way, but bring out more topics that could be discussed, other than the same ole same ole. Just to clairify...are you talking the Israelites, or about Jesus? If so, a "Jesus" verse is required. Found this yet? For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations. Now what? On the subject of sacrifice and atonement, I have a Muslim buddy who sends money home to buy a goat, or two for some traditional ritual thing that somehow relates back to his personal sacrifice and atonement. Maybe someone here has more details. |

Ezekiel Chapter 18 was what you quoted. It is about individuals being accountable for their own sin. Nothing to do with the atonement of Christ Jesus. In regards to what is atonement and why it is necessary? Through the sin of Adam and Eve, Satan has �legal� right over the human race. (Genesis Chapter 3). Of course God as an all powerful God could simply over rule any rights that Satan has but because he is all righteous God will remain righteous even to Satan. All the old pagan and Jewish blood sacrifices (Book of Leviticus) were just a picture or image of the real thing that was to come through the promised Christ Jesus The Messiah. God offered payment of ransom to Satan through coming in human form and shedding his own blood to pay the ransom. (Acts 26.18) His blood was payment to Satans legitimate right but also the redemption and remission of sin. (Leviticus 17.11) However there was more to atonement than just payment for sin. It�s also about being made whole. (Malachi 2:15). What Christ Jesus The Messiah did is allow a blood to blood relationship between God and us. This blood to blood or flesh to flesh relationship permeates to the level of our DNA. That�s why Jesus did healing miracles, so as to demonstrate this resurrecting power. And because of this we have the assurance of resurrection at death but also wholeness and power in this life. (John 10.10) God is now not separated from humanity but has become part of us and we can become part of him. We are not just redeemed in the spirit but also in an earthy, organic manner as well. Atonement and redemption is of the spirit but also of the flesh, our bodies, mind, sexuality etc. |

1.Nobody can take on the sins of another.Ezekiel 18:20 New Living Translation (�2007) The person who sins is the one who will die 2.There is no need for anybody to die to save another. Each person can save themselves by repenting individually. 21 �But if a wicked person turns away from all the sins they have committed and keeps all my decrees and does what is just and right, that person will surely live; they will not die. In Islam, it is the same and more consistent with the way things have always been with regard to repentance and salvation. Found this yet? For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations. Now what? Contradiction, as you correctly point out. I already posted a topic related to this exactly titled ' God of the Bible and punishment.' Edited by Mahdi The Seeke - 04 March 2013 at 11:02pm |

But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. Isaiah 53:5 |

There is a point to be made tho and whether you realize it or not it's pertinent, not so much to the Christians here, but for the ones with the big gaudy crosses, etc. hip hop kinda. The new theology is, "Jesus saves man!" That's about the extent of what they know. Regardless of whether your religion tells you to go through Jesus or around Him, personnal repentance is required. Do Christians actually float around giving you the impression they are saved only cuz Jesus died? Edited by Webber - 05 March 2013 at 6:33pm |
