oh is that so?
Matthew 27 Wrote:1 When morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people plotted against Jesus to put Him to death. 2 And when they had bound Him, they led Him away and delivered Him to Pontius[a] Pilate the governor.(i skipped around b/c i didn't want to put the whole chapter up. the verses are numbered and they're all in that chapter.)
17 Therefore, when they had gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?” 18 For he knew that they had handed Him over because of envy.
19 While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, “Have nothing to do with that just Man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of Him.” 20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus. 21 The governor answered and said to them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” They said, “Barabbas!”
25 And all the people answered and said, “His blood be on us and on our children.” 26 Then he released Barabbas to them; and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered Him to be crucified.
the thing is Pontius Pilate the governor of Judaea at the time. this is the story of how the high priests took him to Pilate for judgement. he didn't have anything against him and didn't want to exicute him but many of the Jews insisted.
WHO DOESN'T READ THEIR BIBLE?
Shell B Wrote:There is nothing in this quote that says Jesus was not a sacrifice. I am not going to continue arguing this because I have clearly proven Jesus was a sacrifice to god so that man would have to sacrifice no more. You are just covering your ass.
no you haven't. you say Jesus was a sacrifice given to God. read the verse and see WHO GIVES WHAT TO WHO. and another thing is that a sacrifice always involves a victim that is unwilling or decieved and jesus was neither. he was exicuted by man. he was only a sacrifice in the fact that God sacrificed him to cover the sins of man. he could have stopped it but he didn't, it was his will.
from this, i have gathered evidence that you clearly look through the bible just to look for an inconsistency or something that is wrong with it's morals. if you actually read it then you would understand it better. you can't take a sentence in the middle of a book and figure out what the book is about from that one sentence.
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
