But the punishment was upon Him? Could you explain that for me? (if you want to of course) How does Jesus' death atone for our sins and satisfy God's wrath if we're punished for our sins without Jesus' sacrifice but Jesus wasn't punished for our sins? Not arguing against the Gospel, just trying...

Isaiah 53:5 (KJV) - But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. Does this mean that Jesus was chastised by the Father in our place?

But the debt we have with God is punishment, or am I incorrect in that? Wouldn't it make sense that Jesus was punished by God in our place? I think I might be mixed up here because there's sort of two approaches (if not more) to this issue. There is Jesus being punished in our place, and Jesus...

So Jesus did take the wrath of God for us and was punished for our sins? (by God the Father I guess?)

I'm not sure if it's written on their actual website that Jesus didn't take the wrath of God for us. I was told that by an answerer or answerers if I'm not mistaken.

Possibly by one of their answerers through email (or maybe more than one answerer).

He died for our sins, I might be having trouble taking it further than that because I might have asked before in chat if Jesus took the wrath of God in our place and may have gotten an answer (or maybe more than one answer) sort of close to "God wouldn't be wrathful with His own Son", that might...

Huh?

I've got a thick skull. Could people ignore the first question I asked and answer the second one instead?

Maybe a better question is, did Jesus take the punishment for our sins?

Would it be correct to say "Jesus took the punishment for my sins"?

Is it by following Jesus' commands, or is it a feeling towards God? How is it demonstrated? I might be really selfish, I don't know if I have love for God.

Did Jesus die on the cross to take the punishment for our sins?

Is Jesus' Lordship something that is shared with God the Father and the Holy Spirit?

Would I be correct in the understanding that Jesus died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins and that by believing in His death, burial, and resurrection I am saved? I guess I would also include that He is the son of God (the Father) and God Himself.

When God is speaking in the beginning of Genesis is it God the Father speaking, or more than one Person of the Trinity?

When someone uses the words "the Lord" or the word "Lord" in song, in conversation, or however, does it always mean Jesus Christ?

I don't know about that, I might not be saved.

This might seem like a silly or strange post, but when I submitted this thread I might not have been looking for assurance that I'm saved, I might have just been trying to work through my salvation. I wrote the OP for this thread yesterday and I might have been looking for assurance that I'm...

In 1 Corinthians 15:3 (NIV) it says, For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, Is believing that Jesus paid for my sins by dying for them, that He rose from the dead, and that He is Lord enough to be saved? I'm...
