CAN SOMEONE DIE FOR THE SINS OF ANOTHER?
Hugh
The New
Testament relies upon the Hebrew Scriptures for any authority to back up their
claim of Jesus.
Since
the SOURCE Document, the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) does not support the concept of Jesus,
the Early Church Fathers had to alter the Tanakh by misquoting, misinterpreting
and taking sentences out of context and then say they are correct with
their new findings and that the original is wrong because rabbis changed it to
remove any hints of Jesus.
One of
the main points of Christianity is that Jesus died for the sins of the world.
This time after searching Hebrew Scriptures and finding nothing, Christian
translators, editors and copyists just make up the unfounded story that Jesus
died for the sins of all mankind. That’s a beautiful story, but is it real?
Where in the Hebrew Scriptures does it verify, or even hint of that?
According
to the Hebrew Bible, the person who sins is the one who will die. Even using
the Christian bible, it says the same thing―no one can die
for the sins of another!
Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their
sin; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written.
And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever
hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my
book. Exodus 32:32-33 (KJV)
The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the
children be put to death for the fathers: every man
shall be put to death for his own sin. Deuteronomy 24:16 (KJV)
Every man will die for his own
sin!
In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's
teeth are set on edge. But every one shall die for
his own iniquity: every
man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be
set on edge. Jeremiah 31:29-30 (KJV)
Behold, all souls are mine; as the
soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall
die. Ezekiel 18:4 (KJV)
The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father,
neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the
righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. Ezekiel
Then Ezekiel sums it up:
Again, when the wicked man turneth
away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful
and right, he shall save his soul alive.
Because he considereth, and turneth
away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live,
he shall not die.
Ezekiel 18:27-28 (KJV)
Christians
will say this may be so, but each of these examples was talking about a normal
man. And Jesus was not a normal man–he was the Son of God. Some say he was God
Himself incarnate. The New Testament does not elaborate upon this. Only when in
the year 325 CE, at the Council of Nicaea, was this concept full blown into the
mainframe of Christianity–PAGAN Christianity.
The
problem with this claim is that Christians can not sell it to non-believers,
but “blind-faith-believers” are fooled into taking the word of their clergy and
their New Testament. Until they honestly set out on a quest for truth and
wisdom, they will never realize that God says what He means and means what He
says. He does not say on one day that “every man shall be put to death for his own sin” and, as the New Testament
claims, change His mind
later, claiming that one man dies for all mankind and its sins.
Is God a liar? You know that answer; be
honest with yourself, and your family!
