Once again this poster denies that godless men, who were motivated by sin, such as envy, could not take or murder Jesus, unless the Son of God, laid down his life as a ransom for all.
Liar. That's NOT what I said. Not even close.
Was Christ murdered or did He lay down His own life?
"Someone would have to be dense to not see that's exactly how the Holy Spirit portrays it, as murder. Post #7:
Well, the culprits sure enough got charged with murder for doing the deed:
44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and standeth not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof. Jn 8
23 him, being delivered up by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God,
ye by the hand of lawless men did crucify and slay: Acts 2
14 But ye denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a murderer to be granted unto you,
15 and
killed the Prince of life; whom God raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses. Acts 3
10 be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of
Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead,
even in him doth this man stand here before you whole. Acts 4
30 The God of our fathers raised up
Jesus, whom ye slew, hanging him on a tree. Acts 5
52 Which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? and they killed them that showed before of the coming of
the Righteous One; of whom ye have now become betrayers and murderers; Acts 7
39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the country of
the Jews, and in Jerusalem;
whom also they slew, hanging him on a tree. Acts 10
28 And though they found no cause of death
in him, yet
asked they of Pilate that he should be slain. Acts 13
They even confessed to the crime and willingly accepted the blame:
25 And all the people answered and said,
His blood be on us, and on our children. Mt 27
And the wrath came upon them to the uttermost for His murder:
41 They say unto him,
He will miserably destroy those miserable men, and will let out the vineyard unto other husbandmen, who shall render him the fruits in their seasons. My 21
7 But the king was wroth; and he sent his armies, and
destroyed those murderers, and burned their city. Mt 22
35 that
upon you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of Abel the righteous unto the blood of Zachariah son of Barachiah, whom ye slew between the sanctuary and the altar.
36 Verily I say unto you,
All these things shall come upon this generation. Mt 23
22 For these are
days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
23 Woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days! for there shall be
great distress upon the land, and
wrath unto this people.
32 Verily I say unto you,
This generation shall not pass away, till all things be accomplished. Lu 21
14 For ye, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God which are in Judaea in Christ Jesus: for ye also suffered the same things of your own countrymen, even as they did of
the Jews;
15 who both killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove out us, and pleased not God, and are contrary to all men;
16 forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved; to fill up their sins always: but
the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost. 1 Thess 2"
