“Suffering doesn’t pay for sin or purify us.” I think Christ, and God the Father, would beg to differ! Christ suffered for us. And the Father found it meaningful!
Another clue is that Christ fasted for 40 days. Apparently He thought suffering counted for something then too! LOL
Really? Show us the chapter and verse that says that suffering pays for sin. Where does either God or Jesus tell us to suffer to pay for our sins or purify us, or that suffering does that.
Christ suffered for us. And the Father found it meaningful!
Yeah. The Catholic God is happy over making people suffer. It's like Catholics think it impresses or pleases God that we suffer.
OK, so I'll bite anyway. HOW did God find Christ's suffering *meaningful*?
And do you think that it was Christ's suffering that paid for our sin or His death that paid for our sin?
