Featured Atonement Continued

The soul that sins shall die, Ezekiel 18:4. The wages of sin being death, Romans 6;23. Christ bearing our sin, He gave His soul, Isaiah 53:6, Isaiah 53:12. When the lost soul dies, there is unquenchable fire, Mark 9:48. When Christ's soul had died, Psalms 22:1 and Psalms 22:6 there was no fire.

 

Not so.
Ezekiel 18:4, ". . . the soul that sinneth, it shall die." Matthew 10:28, ". . . fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." Both the death of the body and soul.
Now Christ's death of His soul on the cross, Isaiah 53:12, ". . . because he hath poured out his soul unto death: . . ." And this payment was paid in full before John 19:28, ". . . Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, . . ." Which is what was said by Jesus, "It is finished" just before Jesus physically died, John 19:30.

 

The judgement, according to the Scriptures is after death, not before. Prior to death, the unbeliever is already condemned, but the sentence waits until physical death occurs.

All sin, so certainly the “soul that sins will die.” For all die, but after, the believers pass from death to life and unbelievers from death to torment.

are we not all in agreement that the death of these verses is the physical body ceasing to be viable?

 

Then you would have no atonement, Isaiah 53:12. And what ever Jesus said was finished, was finished according to the Greek text in John was finished before John 19:28 at that.

This Greek word τετελεσται in its grammar, as used in this form in the New Testament, only occurs twice. And it has been understood to mean paid in full in regard to the atonement.

 

The "soul" as you mean it would be the fleshly death then, If I have read you correctly.

Certainly the soul of Christ (physical body) ceased vitality - yet remained without corruption in the grave for it was pure and innocent.

However the Isaiah 53:12 mentions how that the Lord went to paradise - having been numbered as one of the transgressors at Calvary. and there gave His spirit to the Father while his soul - flesh - died.

However, I have been thinking through the cause of His death.

No man could take it from Him, and He had to lay it down - I suppose that is to be taken as to give it up as it is referred to at the crucifixion.

So, did the "wages of sin" apply to the Saviour?

I think that such did not.

 

You did not address what I answered. The death of Jesus' soul in Isaiah 53:12. And what ever Jesus said was "finished" in John 19:30 having been finished before John 19:28? τετελεσται meaning what?

 

The atonement was paid in full before Jesus' physical death. His physical death being for the purpose of His bodily resurrection. John 19:28, John 19:30.

 

The death of His soul through His shed blood. Isaiah 53:12, ". . . he hath poured out his soul unto death: . . ." This was finished before His physical death, John 19:28, ". . . that all things were now accomplished . . . ."

 

Matthew 10:28, ". . . fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. . . ." Both the body and soul die in Hell.

 

I need to correct a misconception that I gave you, and I do so most certainly apologize.

I was using what I perceived as your use of "soul" pertaining to the flesh, and the physical.

I should not have done that for I do believe it may have allowed error.

The soul, as used in the Scripture is the eternal, and was started when God breathed into Adam the eternal Breath of life.

The soul is not as God, for God has no beginning, but is eternal. We have a beginning and yet from our start are indeed also an eternal soul.

Again, I apologize for attempting to use what I perceived as your thinking rather then making correct declaration at the beginning.

Btw, I also noticed that on the Web, there are also those who make this same mistake, and so it isn't an unusual one.

I would offer this warning.
You mentioned that "Both the body and soul die in Hell."
Are you presenting the "soul annihilation" view?

Be careful, for this teaching is banned on the BB. Or at least at one time it was.

Do not be entrapped by this heretical thinking.

I don't think you are, but I wanted to make you aware.
