Featured Born In Sin

Made a sinner? No. He knew no sin. He was made sin for us (not made to commit sin).

No, Christ does not have flesh and blood as we do now. He has ascended and now has a body as we will have (what it is like, we do not know).

1 John 3:2
2 Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is.

1 Corinthians 15:38–41 But God gives to it a body just as he wishes, and to each one of the seeds its own body. 39 Not all flesh is the same, but there is one flesh of human beings, and another flesh of animals, and another flesh of birds, and another of fish, 40 and heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. But the glory of the heavenly bodies is of one kind, and the glory of the earthly bodies is of another kind. 41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars, for star differs from star in glory

2 Corinthians 5:1-10
For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down (that is, when we die and leave this earthly body), we will have a house in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God himself and not by human hands. We grow weary in our present bodies, and we long to put on our heavenly bodies like new clothing. For we will put on heavenly bodies; we will not be spirits without bodies. While we live in these earthly bodies, we groan and sigh, but it’s not that we want to die and get rid of these bodies that clothe us. Rather, we want to put on our new bodies so that these dying bodies will be swallowed up by life. God himself has prepared us for this, and as a guarantee he has given us his Holy Spirit. So we are always confident, even though we know that as long as we live in these bodies we are not at home with the Lord. For we live by believing and not by seeing. Yes, we are fully confident, and we would rather be away from these earthly bodies, for then we will be at home with the Lord. So whether we are here in this body or away from this body, our goal is to please him. For we must all stand before Christ to be judged. We will each receive whatever we deserve for the good or evil we have done in this earthly body.

 

No, Christ was born as every man is born. The idea that Christ was not human, was not "made like us in every way", is a reliance on human wisdom rather than God's Word.

Scripture tells us why Christ was born of a virgin:

Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Look! the virgin is with child and she is about to give birth to a son, and she shall call his name ‘God with us.’

Now, your question may be regarding the significance of a virgin birth. The answer is, of course, as a sign (as Scripture states). A virgin birth is a sign acriss religions signifying that a messiah is given from God or the gods.

The difference, of course, is that there was only one real virgin birth (Christ).

Why not simply accept the reason Scripture gives? That is the real question here.

 

No.

Romans 8:1–4 Consequently, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death. For what was impossible for the law, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and concerning sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the requirement of the law would be fulfilled in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

 

What work do infants do?

 

En garde!

No, it was necessary that Christ be made like is in all respects.

Hebrews 2:17 Therefore he was obligated to be made like his brothers in all respects, in order that he could become a merciful and faithful high priest in the things relating to God, in order to make atonement for the sins of the people.

But you are right that He is our Representative (on that we have always agreed).

God does not make us sinners. We are made men, with human nature's. We choose sin. Christ was tempted in all points as are we, but He did not sin. He remained obedient.

If Christ did not die for our sins, as our representative, then there is no salvation. Again, you are right.

BUT if Christ was not "made like his brothers in all respects" then there is no representation (and no salvation.

 

Sorry, I meant to. No. Infants are human beings. They also required a Savior and face the wages of sin.

 

On the Cross God was reconciling man to Himself. Christ died once, for all. Man is reconciled to God through Christ. The work of the cros

What is left is for men to be reconciled to God.

Your question, biblically, should be "for what sins are aborted children damned?". My answer is "none".

 

The issue is that Scripture interprets Scripture. Your objection was to the passage I provided, not to my own ideas.

The Bible is not a general reference book where you get to pick our what you want and ignore what you dislike.

Christ was made in the likeness of sinful flesh. He was made like us in all respects. You leave out that
homoíōma also means "form" (He came in the form of sinful flesh).

Christ become a son of Adam (a son of man) to redeem man.

A common Christian belief (not Scripture but an orthodox belief you reject) is that Christ is not more than man in His humanity, not less than God in His divinity. What you are wrestling with is the doctrine of the trinity. You cannot accept that Christ made like his brothers in all respects, so you ignore the passage and choose another that is less specific to your objection.
