Featured How is God a Just God AND a Savior?

I see a Religious Baker got up early today and posted a slew of leaven to corrupt God's word.
Are we declared righteous or are we made righteous? Romans 5:19

Did Christ die for those never to be saved? Yes see 2 Peter 2:1 The Rebellious Bakers deny Christ "bought" those heading for swift destruction with His precious blood.

If Christ became sin due to the imputation of our sins, then He would no longer be "just." However, God's word, with no leaven added says:

1 Peter 3:18 (NKJV)
For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit,​

 

"Caterwauling", I like that. Anti-Cals like @Van do a whoooole lot of 'caterwauling' -

18 So then he hath mercy on whom he will, and whom he will be hardeneth.
19 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he still find fault? For who withstandeth his will?
20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why didst thou make me thus? Ro 9

Jesus could not have been "just" if He had been made sin. Anyone who disputes that is caterwauling...

 

??!

2Co 5:21 (NASB)
He made Him who knew no sin to be [fn]sin in our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
Footnote: Or Sin Offering.

Thus the basis of the false doctrine that Jesus was "sin" and also "just" is the majority choice of translators to perhaps unwittingly create an inconsistency in God's inspired text.

 

On the cross, He was made sin. He was not made a sinner. He was never that. 'He Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree.' Our sins were laid upon Him and His perfect righteousness credited to those who believe.

 

*Hebrews 7:20-28*
And it was not without an oath. For those who formerly became priests were made such without an oath, but this one was made a priest with an oath by the one who said to him: “The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind, ‘You are a priest forever.’” This makes Jesus the guarantor of a better covenant. The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office, but he holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues forever. Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them. For it was indeed fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, innocent, unstained, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens. He has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, first for his own sins and then for those of the people, since he did this once for all when he offered up himself. For the law appoints men in their weakness as high priests, but the word of the oath, which came later than the law, appoints a Son who has been made perfect forever.

*Hebrews 9:11-14,24-28*
But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation) he entered once for all into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption. For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the sprinkling of defiled persons with the ashes of a heifer, sanctify for the purification of the flesh, how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God.

For Christ has entered, not into holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf. Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the holy places every year with blood not his own, for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.

 

I don't remember in my younger years there being much emphasis on the imputation of Christ's righteousness. Him taking our sins upon himself on our behalf was taught but not so much teaching on the imputation of his righteousness. I didn't really notice this until reading reformed literature where frequent reference was made to the obedient life of Christ as more than a qualification that he would be a suitable sacrifice. In other words there is teaching that we are saved by his obedient life as well as his death. Does anyone on here know if that is a point of issue with different groups or did I just miss it - which is quite possible. This is only a question and not intended as an argument.

 

Yes, He bore our sins by being a sin offering.

 

No it does not. It says Jesus was our sin offering by dying on the cross. The just for the unjust.
