The soul that sins shall die. The son shall not suffer for the iniquity of the father, nor the father suffer for the iniquity of the son; the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself. (Ezekiel 18:20)
How do you understand this, in light of your beliefs about the sacrificial death of Jesus?
The father has no sin so Yeshua wouldn't be suffering for him. He's suffering for mine and your sorry behinds. Its called grace, mercy, lovingkindness, unmerited favor etc. etc. :-)
A rabbit going down the trail. :)
Philippians 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
