DID JESUS TRULY DIE FOR OUR SIN? LET’S DEBATE!
If we were to throw away ideological beliefs and/or church dogmas and simple let God guide our hearts and minds with rational and logical insight, would we truly hang onto the notion that Jesus Christ died for our sins?
As for many Christian, I can’t imagine that most would ever entertain the idea of doing such a thing. I suppose it wouldn’t be to their best interest to do so. The sad aspect regarding this sort of thinking is that the individual holding such a position restricts him/herself to limited growth and understanding.
About The Man Christ Jesus
What does it mean for Jesus to be HUMAN?
I would like to take you back to the biblical text, where we meet a profoundly human Jesus who faced many of the same difficulties and limitations we experience today. Lets explore the significance of Christ’s humanity so we can learn, by the power of the Spirit, how to follow in his footsteps.
When we remove our dogmatic viewpoints and presuppositions, we find one factual unambiguous truth. There is a clear distinction between Jesus the man and The Almighty Creator of the heavens and the Earth. Below, I present (1 Timothy 2:5) from various versions of the Bible, all of which pretty much says the same thing.
