The plain text of Hebrews 9:12 that I mentioned previously clearly states the sacrifice of Jesus Christ is sufficient.
Read it again “...He entered the Most Holy Place once for all time and secured our redemption forever.”

Does that text suggest that somehow the sacrifice of Christ was not sufficient and did not secure our redemption forever? No! It does not say that Jesus did a lot for us, but it was not enough.

Col 1:24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church,

Yeah I was pretty sure I had quoted it correctly in context: lacking in Christ's afflictions

What could that mean, what could that mean? Oh yeah it must mean that Verga knows what he is talking about.

Exactly right! What arrogance to believe we must “add” something to Christ’s sacrifice because the Almighty isn’t powerful enough to complete the job! Thank God I don’t serve an impotent God!
