    First... In the first line you state the cup to be "Blessings" and "Wrath." Then you equate it with "God's will." So... which is it; there are now three choices.

    It's a cup of wrath in Gethsemane... [edited]

    Hey brother,

    From what I understand of your reply you are having trouble grasping the concept that the Bible uses "the cup" to represent various situations other than divine wrath. If so, then perhaps your struggle is an inability to divorce your presuppositions from the text of Scripture.

    If that is the case there are a few resources I would recommend. The Hermeneutical Spiral by Grant Osborne may help. It is not at an advanced level, but if you find it difficult consider Grasping God's Word by Duvall and Hayes. Both are good works, and either could help you overcome (or at least identify) what you bring into the text.

    If you need any other suggestions please don't hesitate to reach out.

    I will offer you this for consideration as well - Jesus told the Disciples they would also drink from his cup. Do you believe the Disciples also drank of God's wrath?

    You are mocking here what the majority of Reformed and Baptists see though as the primary way to explain how the atonement was provided to us thru the Cross of Christ!

    No, rather Jesus tasted and experienced hell for us upon that Cross so that none of us redeemed would ever have to!

    When it comes to the symbolism of the cup there are many biblical uses.

    In Psalm 23 the psalmist refers to his cup overflowing (blessings). The cup is also used as a "cup of wrath" when so qualified. And of course, it is also God's will and the situation itself (Jesus telling the Disciples they will indeed share his cup - i.e., his sufferings).

    Many times "cup" is used as we would "fate".

    For those who have not done so, I strongly recommend taking a class on how to study and then how to study Scripture. In our culture today we have an issue with illiteracy in terms of comprehension. In our churches we have an issue with biblical illiteracy. We have to move away from subjective interpretation. And I recommend those resources I believe could help @The Archangel to any willing to learn.

    God never depurated from Jesus in the He ceased to be God, but in His humanity did experience being forsaken and separated from the father!

    God poured out in full His wrath upon Jesus, not on Him for what he had done, but due to what he was doing for us!

    I'd ask for a passage demonstrating this dualism, but as Dave Ramsey says, insanity is doing the same thing expecting different results.

    'cause I live in South Carolina- Go Tigers! :Biggrin

    Whatever happened to Jesus on that Cross was what happens to all those who have to atone for their own sins to a Holy God in the Judgment!

    Different context, as Jesus was referring to the Apostles would experience death and suffering for His name sake...
    His Cup was the Bowl of wrath only He was qualified to drink of!

    Amusing that you talk down to him on how to understand what the scriptures teach, when he seems to understand it in this area better than you do!

    I just take the forsaken Jesus experienced as being real, and not just quoting the scriptures!

    They would like Paul, be suffering for his sake for his afflictions, correct?

    You tell me.

    Jesus said they would share his cup. @The Archangel indicated the cup Christ drank was God's wrath. Did Paul suffer God's wrath?

    And Paul wasn't a Disciple. So maybe his suffering was not God's wrath. What do you think?

    Does, cup = suffering
    suffering unto death


    or is there a difference?

    My thought being; Through the things he suffered he learned - the obedience. Therefore, becoming obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

    Cup = suffering unto death and being dead until being quickened yet, to the Spirit.

    Therefore I ask, for what span of time was the judgement of the Father toward the Son?
    Why was Christ dead, three days and three nights?

    Just read Jon's last post so I will add:

    And be baptized with

    I believe, to be baptized, is different from the drinking of the cup. Not real sure just how.

    What about other uses (like in Psalm 23)?

    Or the cup of blessing Paul speaks of in 1 Corinthians?

    The only thing quick I can come up with is:

    It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him: If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.
