He DIED to save us.
His stripes were for our healing, nothing else.
His suffering isn’t redemptive as far as our souls and our salvation are concerned.
Catholic’s problem is that they think the wrong thing saves.
Suffering doesn’t pay one iota for the least of any sin.
It’s only DEATH that pays for sin. Not even dying. Death.
Christ could have saved Himself a lot of trouble by just dying of old age.,,....
