I think "earth" would have been to the writer of Genesis 1 what existed as dry land under the space demarcated as the heavens, as opposed to that which existed in the space demarcated as the heavens. Gen 1:10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he...

I'm not the one saying your reading is impossible. I am simply saying that your proof texting is fictitious. Your reading is not the only viable reading, so cannot be a proof text for your reading. That something can be read into a text grammatically and semantically, does not prove that it was...

It's stunning how you can admit that bear is used elsewhere not meaning to be imputed/accredited with responsibility for others' sins, but to bear the consequences of the other persons' sinning, either as the target of that sinning, or as the inheritor of the conditions brought about by their...

OMC, are you really claiming that the persecution, insults and false accusations thrown at Christ were not His adversaries' iniquities and sins?

Other options for the sense of hOs in this text - 1Co 5:3 For I verily, as (hOs, i.e. an adverb of comparison = as though) absent in body but present in spirit, have judged already, as (hOs, i.e. an adverb of comparison = as though) present in spirit, concerning him that hath behaved like this...

You ignored the other verses. 1Co 5:3 For I verily, as (hOs, i.e. an adverb of time = while) absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as (hOs, i.e. an adverb of time = while) present in spirit, concerning him that hath behaved like this (οὕτως ). 1Co 5:4 In the name of our...

Jhn 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Jhn 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you...

You are approaching this incorrectly. You are determining the meaning of a word translated from First Century Greek into English in the 17th Century from the way it is used in the 21st Century after it has been infused with 20 centuries of theological massaging. To understand the biblical...

Mat 18:18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Mat 18:19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for...

Then you have not been communicating clearly. You should have said that no one except God can forgive sins against God. I would have agreed. There is no dispute between us that Jesus of Nazareth was an incarnation of One of the Ever-existing Divine Persons Who had created the universe and Who...

I confess. I am too stupid to understand your post. But carry on enlightening the geniuses on CC.

No. The verb in v.6 is the causative Hiphil form of פגע, so it means "to cause a secondary agent to lay/strike". Hence, " וַיהוָה הִפְגִּיעַ בּוֹ אֵת עֲוֺן כֻּלָּנוּ׃ " And-YHWH caused-someone-to-strike upon-him the-iniquity of-us-all. YHWH did not lay all our iniquities on Him, but had...

This claim that only God can forgive sins seems to be a rather biblically unsound claim, @Bible_Highlighter. It is something you have been told, that is not in scripture as a divine revelation, but as the flawed opinion of the enemies of God. Luk 5:21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to...

My post which you are referring to here did not mention Abraham or Romans 4. What are you rambling on about? Is this misdirection, to move the conversation away from the actual content of my post? It is unclear what you are objecting to, since you have been referring in your first paragraph to...

And it was Abraham's own faith that was credited/reckoned/accounted/imputed as righteousness, not Jesus' righteousness. Rom 4:3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
