@Fruitbum1@NathanBozeman2 That's correct. The verse speaks of the apostles *becoming the righteousness of God*, not believers "receiving the righteousness of Christ".
They can't even read their own prooftext correctly.
Does Isaiah 53 and the Passover lamb support the teaching that Jesus suffered a punishment/penalty instead of you? Join us TONIGHT as we answer that question and more on "Refining Exegetics".

@Brandon_W_Duke So we should be like *the Pharisees* who twisted Jesus' words because they sought to falsely accuse him of making himself equal with YHWH? Is THAT what we should do instead?
@PracticalTheolo That is the popular view, yes. But do you see the glaring problem with that view, when placed side by side with Matthew 5:17 where Jesus says explicitly that he did NOT come to *abolish* (kataluó) any part of the Law or the prophets?
@Brandon_W_Duke All these Trinitarian apologists squirming and slandering, then scouring the OT for hidden meanings and clues for the Trinity. They know they are cooked.
@triggerman1976@PracticalTheolo Doubly wrong:
1. Not three figures. The God of his fathers and the God who has been his shepherd are the same person
2. The singular "He" is an appeal to *that* one God, not the angel whom the God sent. Basic reading comprehension 101.
@Brandon_W_Duke Yes, if the Messiah is "the God-man", we literally can't imitate him or follow his example. No wonder theologies like "Jesus did 'X' so that we wouldn't have to" became so prevalent in conjunction with "Jesus is YHWH" dogma.
@Nate_Dawg_64@bannedby Nathan, your reasoning is purely sentimental and philosophical. You are not proclaiming the Bible when you portray God as the one you need to be saved from. Your reasoning is merely the ramblings of a twisted mind.
Whoever sins is a slave to sin, and God saves from the enemy.
@ferretsftw@Soteriology101 Then go tell your Calvinist brother to stop arguing about this online, because it is unhelpful. Then tell him to go meet a non-Calvinist in person and see their fruit.
You do realize Soteriology101 is responding to a Calvinist who is arguing online, right?
@theocraticking1 Amen. Yeshua didn't die *instead of* us. He died *ahead of* us, to show us the way. He is the great forerunner (archegon - Hebrews 12:2) of faithfulness and the firstborn from the dead. Shalom
@Euchucas@CrownVic2023 Because the Torah consistently distinguishes between *the sons of Israel* and *the dwellers in their midst*, all the while declaring BOTH to be covenant members of God's family.
@Euchucas@CrownVic2023 In the assembly of Israel that came out of Egypt, the non-Israelites who were "ger" (we could call them "dwellers") were considered part of *the assembly of Israel* and were considered "the people of God". It wouldn't be accurate, IMO, to say they were "considered Israel".
@thechurchsplit *God* declares that He does not condemn the innocent or acquit the guilty. That's an abomination to Him.
I'm doing my part for the cause of Christ.

@thechurchsplit His framing of PSA as Jesus being "our federal head" and "a willing substitute" does NOT escape the *justice objection*. Willing or not, in ANY court of law, a judge would be considered unjust if he took a penalty imposed on a guilty person and placed it on an innocent person.
@Calvinist27@thechurchsplit Wrong. You just don't know how to exegete the Bible, and it shows. The reason why "ἄφεσις" (removal) comes through "αἱματεκχυσίας" (sprinkling of blood) in Heb. 9:22 is explained in the same verse just before this statement. Sprinkling *cleanses* sins, not "punishes" sins.
