Why is the death, burial, and resurrection important? How can there be resurrection if one is not dead?

(Easy to read edition) What can we learn from Cain who slain his brother? that if you hit a man in the head with a rock you can kill him.

semantics! did Jesus have an adversary inside of him? The calamities which befell Job were caused by?

Yes, I understand it. It was birthed by Luther and Calvin who both studied law. Penal substitution was not held by the early Church. Penal substitution says that God requires blood ie, death before he can forgive yet God forgave Adam and Eve which is evidenced in that he went looking for them...

Oi

The price of gas for this brown duck is lotsa beans. Inflation I must admit makes them expensive.

We killed him because we couldn’t stand his purity which God sent him to show us. Do you really think God does deals with the devil? Imagine a parent doing a convoluted deal to have his child hurt or killed? We need to rethink these stories….and there is plenty of evidence to say that penal...

Jesus came to speak well of God. Imagine a God who manipulates to have his own son betrayed. That is the design of a devil not a God who gives his life for humanity.

This is a muddled view BJ. It was never God's will to have Satan enter anybody let alone a disciple. Jesus cast demons out, he didn't invite them in neither was it his will to invite them in. Jesus did God's will and his will was for healing, for reconciliation for hope. It was never God's will...

No. Many will choose against the principles of God's government (compassion, mercy, long suffering, kindness, self sacrifice etc).....They will choose to seperate themselves from God....they will willingly die......just as Judas made his choice (s)

a misinterpretation of a particular text.

of course not

When we apply the parallel Paul uses in Romans 5 it is clear that all are in Christ just as all are in Adam. The deduction is now no mystery. The Good News is just that....it's news and it's good for all mankind. If we are all in Adam by no choice of our own (and by that we die) then God has...

Was Judas ever 'in Christ'? Wasn't he given the gift of miracles including that of raising the dead.

far too much navel gazing in my opinion!

Do you have a calling? Cooooooooooeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
