this is How He atoned for our sins
John 3:16 "
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
i understand How many see it, but where are the scriptures that contradict that God has an Only Son, Jesus, who He sent to save the World? No one ive ever seen say " Jesus was a mere man" certainly not i, but the important thing according to the Bible is that we accept that God Has an Only begotten Son, whom He sent into the world as Our savior. thats Christianities undeniable truth. the scripture below should kind of be really clear on What Gods testimony is concerning Jesus, and where eternal Life is found. did you know there isnt a scripture saying " if anyone doesnt say Jesus is God" but several saying " we need to accept Gods Only Son."
He is One with God, we are One with Him. doesnt make us Jesus. but " we are the body of Christ or One with Jesus. but im not Jesus.
1 john 5:9-12 "
If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified OF HIS SON. 10He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that GOD GAVE OF HIS SON. 11And THIS IS THE RECORD, that God hath given to us eternal life, and THIS LIFE IS IN HIS SON. 12He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the SON OF GOD hath not life."
Jesus is the Son of God, or it may read " God so loved the world that He came and died for the sins of the world" or something, its very clear that God Has a son, named Jesus, that is what christianity is all about. is He One with God? yep. is He divine and was He before the creation of the world? yep. Is He an exact representation of what God is Like? Yep. was the Father Living in Him ? yep.
can God be tempted?(james 1:13) Nope, was Jesus? ( matthew 4:1) yep. did John see Jesus? yep He touched and walked with Him daily for a time, even saw Him transfigured (matthew 17:1-2), does He later say 1 john 4:12 "
No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us"
Have i ever said "Jesus is not God? nope, do I hold to the truth of scripture that Jesus is the One and only begotten Son of God sent to be the savior of the world by God? 100 percent.
