We need to get this straight – Jesus was not sacrificed, not even executed (because that implies a crime committed), but used as a ransom to free Barabbas and then murdered!
No... Jesus was NOT ransomed, for He IS our ransom. Oh yes... Jesus was (in fact) sacrificed. He is our blood sacrifice. The Father sent Jesus to pay for (be) the price for our sin. For thousands of years the Jews [now Israeli's] blood sacrificed the blood of mere animals as a temporary sacrifice for their sin.
But nothing can actually make sin go away, NOTHING!!
You see... if you change your mind and direction for the better coming to the Father through the shed blood of Jesus [in repentance] accepting Jesus (in faith) as your Lord, Savior and Messiah, then the Father sees you through the shed blood of Hid Firstborn Son Jesus and reconciles you back to Himself. God offers no other option than the shed blood of a sacrificed Savior AND Jesus came willingly to be a sacrifice for YOU!!
But when the proper time had fully come, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born subject to [the regulations of] the Law. 5 To purchase the freedom of (to ransom, to redeem, to atone for) those who were subject to the Law, that we might be adopted and have sonship conferred upon us [and be recognized as God’s sons]. 6 And because you [really] are [His] sons, God has sent the [Holy] Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, Abba (Father)! Father! 7 Therefore, you are no longer a slave (bond servant) but a son; and if a son, then [it follows that you are] an heir by the aid of God, through Christ. [Galatians 4:4-7 (original Amplified)]
For God did not send the Son into the world in order to judge (to reject, to condemn, to pass sentence on) the world, but that the world might find salvation and be made safe and sound through Him. [John 3:17 (original Amplified)]
Why did God send Jesus?
Jesus said to her, I am [Myself] the Resurrection and the Life. Whoever believes in (adheres to, trusts in, and relies on) Me, although he may die, yet he shall live; 26 and whoever continues to live and believes in (has faith in, cleaves to, and relies on) Me shall never [actually] die at all. Do you believe this? 27 She said to Him, Yes, Lord, I have believed [I do believe] that You are the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One), the Son of God, [even He] Who was to come into the world. [It is for Your coming that the world has waited.] [John 11:25-27 (original Amplified)]
Simply because Jesus is the resurrection and the life!! And because you are God's offspring.
God said, Let Us [Father, Son, and Holy Spirit] make mankind in Our image, after Our likeness, and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the [tame] beasts, and over all of the earth, and over everything that creeps upon the earth. [Genesis 1:26 (original Amplified)]
So God created man in His own image, in the image and likeness of God He created him; male and female He created them. [Genesis 1:27 (original Amplified)]
Then the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath or spirit of life, and man became a living being. [Genesis 2:7 (original Amplified)]
Please understand and know that God did NOT breathe His breath or spirit of life into ANYTHING other than His mankind sons [children], no not even into the animals. Genesis 2:19 states the animals are only living creatures, not living beings as we are.
Living being = immortal living speaking spirit being [wearing a temporary physical tent]
Living creature = physical living creature
For those whom He foreknew [of whom He was aware and loved beforehand], He also destined from the beginning [foreordaining them] to be molded into the image of His Son [and share inwardly His likeness], that He might become the firstborn among many brethren. [Romans 8:29 (original Amplified)]
Yes... you are immortal and God gave you this short amount of time on earth to decide whether you want Him as your Father and His Son Jesus as your Lord, Savior and Messiah for all of eternity OR... Satan as you lord and ruler for all of eternity. And for THIS God gave you a freewill BUT your ability to change your eternal destination [from hell to heaven] requires you to use that freewill decision while you ares still wearing your physical tent. Because in the flick of time or moment your physical tent expired, your eternal destination was set in STONE!
Jesus was not sacrificed to anyone. The Father gave up His Firstborn Son so His shed blood would be a new covenant for His lost children. For thousands of years the Jews sacrificed animals to temporarily atone for their sin but only the shed blood of Jesus actually can atone for sin.
But when the proper time had fully come, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born subject to [the regulations of] the Law. 5 To purchase the freedom of (to ransom, to redeem, to atone for) those who were subject to the Law, that we might be adopted and have sonship conferred upon us [and be recognized as God’s sons]. 6 And because you [really] are [His] sons, God has sent the [Holy] Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, Abba (Father)! Father! 7 Therefore, you are no longer a slave (bond servant) but a son; and if a son, then [it follows that you are] an heir by the aid of God, through Christ. [Galatians 4:4-7 (original Amplified)]
The first covenant that Adam broke was made with God's word, the second covenant was made with God's blood. Satan stole God's word from Adam, but he CANNOT steal God's blood. Its a heart THING.
The Jews were obeying the Law in the Old Testament when they sacrificed animals to God. The shed blood of Jesus ended that. And get that prehistoric man picture out of your head. That is from the BIG bang evolution theory which did NOT happen. Adam the first made that God created in His image and likeness was NOT a prehistoric man [nor to we live on a globe spinning aimlessly through space]. And there is only ONE God, all of the others are just man made. And God is NOT about religion, He is about a way of life, a way of life WITH Him, not about Him as the Pharisee's have. Institutionalized Christianity is just more religion, not a way of life with God.
Devil his due... the Bible says not to talk to Satan other than to say get behind me. When Jesus died on the cross, He went into hell and stripped Satan of all his power. If you are a born again washed in the blood believer, Satan has NO authority or power over you unless YOU with your words give him permission to do so. Like saying some stupid thing like, Oh that kills me. Those are words that block God's ability to protect you and words that empower Satan to harm you. Remember the Bible states that death and life are in the power of the tongue [Proverbs 18:21].
You are wrong about Paul, he wrote most of the New Testament. What kind of Bible are you reading or where are you getting this godless input?
Yes it is true that I am empowered greatly but that is because I feed the part of me that is immortal with God's word daily which is filled with His immortal creative energy which also empowers my physical tent far beyond physical limitations. Please understand that God's word is our immortal spirit food and you should eat immortal spirit food just as often as you eat physical food. If you do not have, get a King James Bible. I use an Amplified Bible but is no longer in print.
I'm glad, wasn't sure how you would receieve my rebuttal.
