Cleansing
quote:
The blood of Jesus was shed to cleanse the sins of those who accept it.
Define what that means to you or in Chrisianity in general. What are we to accept? That Jesus is the son of God, that Jesus died for sins, or that Jesus came back to life?
quote:
If you die unclean God will not let you ascend into heaven and you are therefor condemned to hell.
Please define unclean as you are using it.
In the OT it is defined as: unclean, impure ethically and religiously
ritually
of places
In the NT it is defined as: not cleansed, unclean
in a ceremonial sense: that which must be abstained from according to the levitical law
in a moral sense: unclean in thought and life
The NT seems to use it in conjunction with the word spirit more than by itself. IMO this deals with the moral sense.
So in today's world what depicts unclean?
What process makes one clean?
And in today's world what depicts clean?

Re: Jesus death
quote:
If He had been stoned to death, He would have had many broken bones, so He wouldnt have been the Messiah, thus His message would have been worthless, IMO.
Wouldn't the beating him on the head described in Matthew and Mark; and the flogging in John also make him blemished and unfit as a sacrifical lamb?
