Featured Biblical Penal Substitution

What I believe is that in Romans Paul says that God sent His Son in the likeness of sinful flesh on account of sin. I have explained my reasons for that.

I agree with you.

I believe the same concept is seen in Heb 2:9

He was made a little lower than the angels, because the death existed, lower than the angels that he might taste death, die for us.

He who knew no sin was made sin, therefore, he gave his life. That put his like in the hands of the Father.

 

'For what the Law could not do, weak b as it was through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh.'
I have done. See my posts #144 and, particularly #151.

 

having known that, not with corruptible things -- silver or gold -- were ye redeemed from your foolish behaviour delivered by fathers, (Adam) but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and unspotted -- Christ's -- foreknown, indeed, before the foundation of the world, and manifested (In the likeness of sinful flesh) in the last times because of you, 1 Peter 1:18-20

he who is doing the sin, of the devil he is, because from the beginning the devil doth sin; for this was the Son of God manifested, (In the likeness of sinful flesh) that he may break up the works of the devil; 1 John 3:8 YLT
Seeing, then, the children have partaken of flesh and blood, he himself also in like manner did take part of the same, (In the likeness of sinful flesh) that through death he might destroy him having the power of death -- that is, the devil -- Heb 2:14 YLT

because of this, even as through one man the sin did enter into the world, and through the sin the death; and thus to all men the death did pass through, for that all did sin; Rom 5:12 YLT

Can you all not see, before the foundation of the world, who and whose sin and whose works was going to be condemned in the flesh?

But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, (singular Adam) that thou art mindful of him? or the Son of Man, (singular Christ) that thou visitest him? Thou madest him a little lower than the angels;

 

You may want to read again what I wrote earlier, because you don't seem to have understood it.

I have not said that it is an impossible translation; I have said that I do not think it is the right one and I have explained why.
FWIW, I just checked out William Hendriksen's commentary and he wrote, "Although it must be granted that peri hamartias can mean 'for a sin offering,' that sense would seem to be somewhat foreign to the present context." I only mention it to show that my view is not unsupported.

 

Here is the latest one. Scott Drive Church It's the one entitled 'make every effort.'
I'm not very pleased with it; for some reason I'm swaying from side to side most of the time. But preaching without a congregation is very strange. I admire people like Alistair Begg who can do it so well

 

Ha! When I was a youngster, one of my teachers mentioned speaking the 'King's English.' Being the horrible precocious child I was then (much as you see me today!), I said, "Shouldn't that be the Queen's English, Sir? I was informed in no uncertain terms that just because the monarch had changed, it didn't mean the English had.
However, after another 50-odd years of Her Majesty, everyone says, the Queen's English.

My mother was a teacher of elocution and speech training. Any time I spoke with anything resembling an accent, I got a clip round the ears and told to "speak properly!"

 

You fail to understand that while ujpon that Cross, Jesus the Son of God willingly became the sin offering for our sales, and as thus, experienced the Hell lost sinners do in their final judgement!

 

So Jesus had our sin nature?

 

what did Jesus mean by being forsaken by the Father while being our Sin Bearer then?

 

Which would be having a sin nature then!
