    Does Christ "dying for our sins" mean that Jesus was punished for our sins?

    Maybe you could flesh out why those verses mean he was punished for our sins? It says the chastisement of our peace was upon him (in the KJV), does chastisement necessarily mean punishment? I guess it might be a logical understanding of it. Just struggling with it myself to be honest. If it...

    Does Christ "dying for our sins" mean that Jesus was punished for our sins?

    Does anyone know of any scripture that specifically says that Jesus was punished for our sins? I don't know of any that explicitly say it, though I guess it might be gleaned from Isaiah 53 (specifically that the chastisement of our peace was upon him).

    Does Christ "dying for our sins" mean that Jesus was punished for our sins?

    That would be nice, but if someone could linguistically explain it to me using scripture in a way that makes sense to me that would also help too! I can't make the connections in my head that Jesus was punished for our sins based on what I've read. The chastisement of our peace being upon him is...

    Does Christ "dying for our sins" mean that Jesus was punished for our sins?

    I guess part of the reason I'm asking is because I think it would be a lot easier for me to understand what Paul is saying in 1 Corinthians 15 if "Christ died for our sins" just means Jesus died to take the punishment for our sins, but I think Jesus might have just been the substitutional...

    Does Christ "dying for our sins" mean that Jesus was punished for our sins?

    I mean it as it would be commonly used. That Jesus took the punishment we deserve from God.

    Does Christ "dying for our sins" mean that Jesus was punished for our sins?

    Thanks for the replies. My question apparently isn't clear. This is so hard to put into words because I think people might just say "Jesus died for our sins" by rote without really understanding what those words mean. What I'm asking is do the words "Jesus died for our sins" (or rather...

    Does Christ "dying for our sins" mean that Jesus was punished for our sins?

    Like is that the literal meaning of those words? 1 Corinthians 15:3 (KJV) For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; Hopefully what I'm asking is clear.

    Why did Jesus weep? (An actual question)

    Where did Jesus get angry (I'm reading the KJV)? He might have been weeping because of everything.

    How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people.

    Everyone who doesn't believe in the name of Jesus is going to be suffering forever in a lake of fire.

    Does this verse describe all people who are not born again?

    It helped support the belief I'm sort of holding.

    Does this verse describe all people who are not born again?

    By the way that verse is obviously describing the devil too.

    Does this verse describe all people who are not born again?

    Ok, but it says in John that the Jews were crying out that Jesus be taken away and crucified not just the religious teachers, and Ephesians 2 says that we all walked according to the prince and power of the air at some point. And we're all born into the same boat because of what Adam did (which...

    How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people.

    I think because of how difficult it would be to be pregnant or nursing a child during such circumstances.

    Peter's Vision - Kill & Eat

    I'm not sure about all the details regarding the vision, but if the animals were considered unclean and the voice told Peter to kill and eat the implication to me would be that it's ok for him to eat these animals now. It would go to show that we are not under the law anymore if I'm correct...

    Does this verse describe all people who are not born again?

    John 8:44 (KJV) Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode 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 of it. I'm asking...

    Do you have to believe Jesus rose from the dead specifically on the third day to be saved?

    Ah, my issue might not be clear. I'm not sure if from 1 Corinthians 15 that we have to believe Jesus was resurrected on the third day. Paul seems to be saying to those believers that their salvation depends on them believing what he preached to them (including that Jesus rose again on the third...

    Do you have to believe Jesus rose from the dead specifically on the third day to be saved?

    I don't doubt any of the resurrections... I'm just having trouble taking in that it happened on the third day. Like it doesn't stick with me for some reason so I don't know if I really believe it. Maybe I do? It's just something I'm concerned about since whenever it comes up I have trouble with...

    Do you have to believe Jesus rose from the dead specifically on the third day to be saved?

    If you read starting from the beginning of the chapter you might see where I'm coming from.

    Do you have to believe Jesus rose from the dead specifically on the third day to be saved?

    I don't know. I have no problem with him rising again on the third day, that's what it says in 1 Corinthians 15, it just doesn't register with me for some reason. It's verse 4.
