If Jesus was not rejected in your behalf for your sins, then you will have to be rejected for your sins.
This is one of the core tenets of Christianity that you appear to be rejecting.
If this is rejected, then you have no basis to believe your sins are forgiven.
I hate you feel that way. I’m sorry I’m just now getting back to your comment. I thought about not responding since it’s be several days and let’s be real…nothing I say is going to matter anyways.
To me His becoming poor that I may become rich(towards God), or His becoming weak that I may be made strong does not have to equate to: I
have to believe He was rejected or forsaken of God. I’ll say it again. I think it’s more important to trust He did and does not fail.
He who owned all things became as one who owned nothing , so we all could partake and share in His possessing all things and making many rich.
Same as He who bore our curse that we may be free. 2 Corinthians 13:6-9 But I trust that you will know that we are not reprobates(as one who fails). [7] Now I pray to God that you do no evil;
not that we should appear approved, but that you should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates. [8] For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. [9]
For we are glad, when we are weak, and you are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.
You may ask. Okay? What does that have to do with His bearing our curse , so that we be made free? Sounds to me like bearing their (brothers) curse, so they be made free(with them) . “For we are glad, when
we are weak, and
you are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.”
in that passage the Spirit of Christ in Paul to me answers the question “I trust you will know we do not fail.” Seeing, He was the First to not Fail, I don’t think He was rejected of God for “bearing our curse so that we can be made free.” But instead said God loved Him because He laid down His Life, having the power to lay it down and take it up again.
Another good one:
2 Corinthians 6:8-11 By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true; [9] As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed; [10]
As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things. [11] O you Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged.
I can still believe He gave His Life freely, and that He did bear the curse with us (on our behalf), but I don’t think that equals rejected of God. So that we be made free. And I don’t read anywhere in Isaiah 54:6-7 For the LORD hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God. [7] For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee.
Being supportive of such a claim as “you have to believe God the Father forsook the Son in your place, or you will be rejected.” As much as we try to squeeze it out of it. what else to you have beside Isaiah 54?
