Jesus was required to offer "something
He offered the final and last blood sacrifice, so that people could be reconciled to God.
Why did this have to be done this way?
I don't really know it doesn't make any sense to me, it seems like God could of just said you people are forgiven instead of having God the son come down as a human and die for us.
I really don't get it, but God required it and I believe his will is perfect even though I don't understand it all.
The point in everything is to believe God even if it sometimes doesn't make sense. Remember, in revelation John was told not to give a testimony of some things he witnesses, I'm thinking those have to do with the mystery of God's will

Needless to say your salvation is the Body and Blood of Jesus and if you dont understand the atoning principles of salvation what does that say about your salvation?

I understand what Jesus did, but I am not God. I don't know why he required God the son to come in the flesh and then die on a cross, rise again and then ascend to the right hand of God in the throne in heaven.
I just don't get why he just didn't say okay all you people are forgiven. I understand the old testament and the new, but it still doesn't make sense to me.
However; I believe in God and I trust in his will and in God even if it doesn't make sense.

It is not about UNDERSTANDING EVERYTHING it is about yielding and bowing down and SEEKING God and not yielding to our own understanding.

OP- please explain, who then is the one true God?
I was trying to show you.
Matt 1:1
This is the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah the son of David, the son of Abraham:Why does the Gospel begin by revealing Jesus as the son of two sinners?
Also see Rom 1:3 and Gal 4:4
I dont know about you but the God i know is not the Son of a sinner?
Maybe in your studies you "may" not have asked the right questions of the Word?
I am giving you that opportunity.
Insight
Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh Rom 1:3
It's one thing to say his was of the genealogy of David, but to make specific reference to David's flesh?
Why so?
For verily Jesus took NOT on him the nature of angels; but Jesus took on him the nature of Abraham. Heb 2:16
Maybe you should yourself "what was Abraham & David's nature?
And why?
Is Mat 1:1 any clearer?
Insight
And just to prove I am not being bias - if you like I am more than happy to provide a Trinitarian answer.
You only need ask!
Are there 18 people reading this thread who cannot answer Matt 1:1 the very first verse of the New Testament.
I would be staggered if this was the case.
For he (God) hath made him (Jesus) to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him (Jesus). 2 Cor 5:21
But let's translate this passage through a Trinitarian filter.
For God hath made God to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in God. 2 Cor 5:21
Is this right? ::doh::
Is this what you all believe? ::shrug::
"And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

This is not quite the Truth, By Christ death, He did reconcile to God those He died for ! Rom 5:10

we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

BTW maybe you have misplaced this verse also. The audience here is in regards to those who still hold onto the old covenant. Maybe you omitted to highlight the context of Heb 8 (a better covenant).
Paul is acknowledging the earth will not always be in ignorance of the true New Covenant. Actually this is a direct reference to a time when God will give Israel special "teachers" See Jer 3:15; 23:3,4; Isa 30:14-21; 54:13
Hence those who understand the Mystery of the New Covenant now will led these people into the "new covenant".
Along with the Gentile believers.
Its best to always check the context of a passage before using it to support an unscriptural idea.

It is saying the "unknown" mystery of how God would actually reconcile man back to Himslef was hid down through the ages, but through the Keys of the Kingdom whcih were passed from Christ to Peter we now understand how entering the Kingdom age is made possible.
So subjects like the Atonement are lost to Trinitarian believers as we are seeing becuase they do not understand the
how and
why Jesus was born of a sinner and came in the line of sinners.
These matters are swept away as mysterious because their preconceived doctrine cannot fit within the inspired framework...when this happens you will see denial.
Only those who are willing to set to one side, what they think they know, for the hope of knowing the what they deem as a mystery or the "unknown"

He offered God as a sacrifice. So that God will no longer be outside in the world but in each of us, not separating us from God through other people or church or prayer. We are taken out of the world. We don't even have to mention the word God to know God. I may just start calling myself an Atheist again, just so I can live in the fullness of him. But Christians will no longer be a part of the world because there is no god out there, only in us.
Jesus told us to be ready, be ready for what? To change in a blink of an eye.

Don't be quick to answer! And whatever you do Gospel do not reply with Trinitarian teaching...it won't fit!
Methinks that through over reading and not quite understanding what you are reading you are somewhat confused
Foundational truths that help clarify your dilemma are as follows;
1. No man is perfect...none!
2. No man is righteous....none!
3. No man could fulfill the Law...none!
4. No man could provide Salvation to all men....none!
Consequently
1. Only God is Perfect
2. Only God is Righteous
3. Only God can fulfill His Law
4. Only God can Provide Salvation
These are foundational truths, there is no wiggle room to play with these truths. If there is anything you are not sure about concerning these truths there is plenty of scripture which I have not taken the time to provide however each of these foundational truths stand Rock Solid in scripture
With that as the case enter Jesus
1. Jesus is Perfect Since no man is perfect That means Jesus is God / Jesus is The Lamb of God and the very term means He is flawless, without spot or blemish... Perfect in every way!
The next day he saw Jesus coming to him and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
John 1:292.Only Jesus is Righteous Jesus is Righteous since no man is righteous that means Jesus is God- He was born righteous, in perfect fellowship and communion with the Father, completely Right Standing before God.
Only the Purity can produce purity. Impurity cannot. In this way God made us His righteousness through Christ
He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
2 Corinthians 5:21He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
Isaiah 53:11But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,

As a onetime, once and for all offering for Sin
Thanks again Gospel!
Another simple answer.
But what did he do once?
Who needs not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this Jesus did once, when he offered up himself. Heb 7:27
How so for himself if he was sinless?
Don't be quick to answer! And whatever you do Gospel do not reply with Trinitarian teaching...it won't fit!
Methinks that through over reading and not quite understanding what you are reading you are somewhat confused
Foundational truths that help clarify your dilemma are as follows;
1. No man is perfect...none!
2. No man is righteous....none!
3. No man could fulfill the Law...none!
4. No man could provide Salvation to all men....none!
Consequently
1. Only God is Perfect
2. Only God is Righteous
3. Only God can fulfill His Law
4. Only God can Provide Salvation
These are foundational truths, there is no wiggle room to play with these truths. If there is anything you are not sure about concerning these truths there is plenty of scripture which I have not taken the time to provide however each of these foundational truths stand Rock Solid in scripture
With that as the case enter Jesus
1. Jesus is Perfect Since no man is perfect That means Jesus is God / Jesus is The Lamb of God and the very term means He is flawless, without spot or blemish... Perfect in every way!
The next day he saw Jesus coming to him and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! John 1:29
2.Only Jesus is Righteous Jesus is Righteous since no man is righteous that means Jesus is God- He was born righteous, in perfect fellowship and communion with the Father, completely Right Standing before God.
Only the Purity can produce purity. Impurity cannot. In this way God made us His righteousness through Christ
He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. 2 Corinthians 5:21
He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
Isaiah 53:11
But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,
1 Corinthians 1:30
3. Jesus fulfilled the Law Perfectly Since no man could fulfill the Law perfectly that means Jesus is God
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying: "He took our infirmities, and bore our diseases." Matthew 8:17

He offered God as a sacrifice. So that God will no longer be outside in the world but in each of us, not separating us from God through other people or church or prayer. We are taken out of the world. We don't even have to mention the word God to know God. I may just start calling myself an Atheist again, just so I can live in the fullness of him. But Christians will no longer be a part of the world because there is no god out there, only in us.
Jesus told us to be ready, be ready for what? To change in a blink of an eye.
I don't know if you all are ready, are you? It's going to get really ugly out there in a minute and there isn't anything out there that will help you. But you won't need help anyway when God is already in you.
So wrong Bitter... so terribly wrong.

Insight- Who do you think Jesus is? Answer this please.
Good question.
The Bible provides two clear titles.
1. The Son of Man
2. The Son of God
Anything else is false.
Thanks for the answer, but I need more clarification.
Do you believe Jesus is "God the son"?
Do you believe Jesus was "God the son" manifest in the flesh?
Do you believe in God the father, God the son and God the holy spirit?
Do you believe is not God the son?
Do you believe Jesus is an angel?
Lets get to the very core of your belief on this subject.
Yes lets.
Show me a Scripture that states "God the Son".
Show me a scripture that states "Jesus is not God the son".
Instead of playing these games lets just get to the core of this issue.
The bible clearly says that Jesus is God, the son of God, the son of Man, the messiah, the anointed one, the Holy one, the lamb of God (THE ENTIRE LIST IS MUCH BIGGER THAN THIS)
There are many names and titles for Jesus. He is ALL OF THEM.
Jesus is not just the son of man or the son of God, he is both of them and God and the messiah and he also has many more names.
Well I search my e-Bible for God the Son and found zero hits. However when I searched the Son of God do you know how many?
If you are comfortable in expressing Jesus with a name the Holy Spirit
NEVER gave.
So be it!

Insight- you believe a demonic/satanic doctrine. Satan is just like you he knows the bible well. When satan encountered Jesus at the end of Jesus's fasting satan used the bible to speak to Jesus. Insight I am not insulting you I am insulting your father the devil. The devil knows that I am a child of God and he knows that you are currently going to hell if you do not admit that Jesus is God.

Luke 2:11 NIV
11For to you is born this day in the town of David a Savior, Who is Christ (the Messiah) the Lord! What does the word Lord mean in this verse?
The Lord. Κυριος, the supreme, eternal Being, the ruler of the heavens and the earth. The Septuagint generally translate יהוה Yehovah by Κυριος. This Hebrew word, from היה hayah, he was, properly points out the eternity and self-existence of the Supreme Being; and if we may rely on the authority of Hesychius, which no scholar will call in question, Κυριος is a proper translation of יהוה Yehovah, as it comes from κυρω, - τυγχανω, I am, I exist.

"For today, The Savior has been born to you, who is THE LORD JEHOVAH The Messiah, in the city of David.

What exactly did Jesus offer and why?
He offered Himself for the sins of the world; He knew no sin...yet for our sake become sin...and shed Himself on the cross for our sins.
The cross is where our Lord laid down His life for us; the value in the cross (where Jesus, God in human form) is impossible to express in human terms...though, it is where God's perfect plan of Salvation unfolded. The effect of the cross is Salvation, sanctification, healing and so much more. We are to preach Jesus Christ and Him crucified; God made a way for us to have a relationship with Him through the cross of Jesus. Everything in the Christian experience must point back to the cross (God's offering)...the cross shook the foundations of Hell and satan's battle was lost.
For us to know what Jesus offered and why:
Please take some time to understand what the cross of our Lord did for us. It was there that God has given us eternal life...it was there that God made a way for us to have a relationship with Him...it was there that Jesus finished the work of Salvation...it was there that God now forgives us of our sins...it was there that God showed His love...by giving Himself up for us...the greatest gift of love known to man kind.
Everything points back to the cross where Jesus offered Himself on our behalf for those who have the God given faith; not because we deserved it...but because that is who God is...
For those who trust in God's perfect plan of salvation; God gives us His Spirit (another offering from God)...and He begins a marvelous work in our life; He shows us right from wrong...good from evil...those deceived and those who have it right. All...because of the cross of Jesus...
Beware of anyone taking God's plan and making it all about them; for example...I am good, I don't sin, I trust in myself, it is all about me, and so on. That is satan hard at work to destroy God's perfect plan (His perfect offering)...as the be-witched/cursed make it about self. Self will always get in the way of God working in a persons life...the offering turns to self rather then Jesus...
I pray that God stops you INSIGHT from writting or speaking until or if you finally understand and admit that Jesus is God. God the father, God the son and God the holy spirit.
Jesus please show Insight the truth and if Insight hardens his/her heart and will not admit that Jesus is God that his/her mouth is stopped from speaking lies and he/she can no longer type lies on the internet or anywhere else. If in your will God you choose to do this, I pray this will be a sign for Insight to remember and upon remembering Insight will be saved.
In the name of God the son Jesus the Messiah.

2. No man is righteous....none!
3. No man could fulfill the Law...none!
4. No man could provide Salvation to all men....none!

3. Only God can fulfill His Law

Insight you are either demon possessed or demon influenced. The bible clearly tells us that anyone who denies the deity of Jesus is not of God.
Repent.

Yeah, when a person is unble to argue their position they result to insults.
I have pity of those who know not the Gospel.

Don't worry, we reap what we sow.
This is true Bitter.
If you sow error you will reap destruction.
Of of the insults come anger and all manner of strife.
I will continue to teach a "true Christ".

Yes, but do you have ears to hear...or is you humility just a show?
::sarcasmalert:
You honestly thought I would bow down? God is the author of my heart, not you.

Maybe Bitter would like to show me the post where I asked her to bow down?
Could it be she is feeling threatened and out of these fleshly feelings her instinct is to attack?
When flesh turns to extremes it often follows by a fall.
This is sin.
I just don't agree with your method.
Honesty is always good and wholesome.
My method is to teach and preach a true Christ.
Nothing more and nothing less.
If you chose not to listen that is your prerogative - it's a free will thing that we all have.
I agree, it is our will is free to listen or not, but not so free when we teach the scriptures.
James 3:1 Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly. 2 We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check.
James 3:17 But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. 18 Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.

Also, Insight you are nothing like Jesus and we are not the pharasees. Your reasoning is of the devil.
Luke 2:11 NIV
11For to you is born this day in the town of David a Savior, Who is Christ (the Messiah) the Lord! What does the word Lord mean in this verse?
The Lord. Κυριος, the supreme, eternal Being, the ruler of the heavens and the earth. The Septuagint generally translate יהוה Yehovah by Κυριος. This Hebrew word, from היה hayah, he was, properly points out the eternity and self-existence of the Supreme Being; and if we may rely on the authority of Hesychius, which no scholar will call in question, Κυριος is a proper translation of יהוה Yehovah, as it comes from κυρω, - τυγχανω, I am, I exist.
Aramaic Bible in Plain English Luke 2:11
"For today, The Savior has been born to you, who is THE LORD JEHOVAH The Messiah, in the city of David.
I'm not thinking Insight has much insight. He surely hasn't shared anything to this point other than declaring himself the one who knows the gospel and yet he hasn't shared anything. Not a thing. And he evades direct questions. I have to wonder if he is on the up and up, frankly. What started out as a promising question for a thread turns out to be only a comeon for his own off the mark understanding. Oh well.....

3 Because of this Jesus is required as for the people, so also for himself, to offer sacrifices for sins. 4 And no man takes this honor to himself, but he who is called by God, just as Aaron was...
The regular high priest, having committed his own sins, would need to offer sacrifice for those sins, as well as those of others (See Heb 9:7; Lev 16:6).
It is true that Jesus was "without sin" in the personal sense (Heb 4:15).
Yet nevertheless, he possessed a mortal, sin-prone, or sinful nature (See Heb 2:14,15) -- and the removal of this nature required his perfect and obedient life and sacrifice.
In this sense, Jesus also had his own "sin" for which to offer.

The weakness He felt was because He was marked more than any other man. Beaten to an absolute pulp, He was totally unrecognizable. He was so weak He couldn't carry His own cross.
The Bible says that all He had to do was call on ten thousand angels and they would have rescued Him but He chose not to for our sakes.
Not only was the toll physical but mental and emotional as well.

The original, as taught by Jesus and the Apostles.
Jesus cannot be God, for God cannot dwell in unclean flesh, nor can God be tainted with the uncleaness of death.
Jesus is the one who died for us and has been raised from the dead for our justification (Rom 4:25). As a high priest at the right hand of God in heaven, he intercedes for us. The one who, while in the flesh, experienced every weakness and sorrow, yet without sinning (Heb 4:15,16), is able now to save "to the uttermost" those who come to God through him, since he lives always (Heb 7:25,26). All his life fitted him expressly for this task, to be merciful and sympathetic of us his brethren.
Therefore, not breaking the type of Aaron..he fufilled it in every way.
3 Because of this Jesus is required as for the people, so also for himself, to offer sacrifices for sins. 4 And no man takes this honor to himself, but he (Jesus) who is called by God, just as Aaron was..Jesus shared your nature and you may not even know why?

Since Sinead has flesh and blood, Jesus too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil— 15 and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death. Heb 2:14,15

He was in human form - He suffered temptation - just as we and His brothers did.

The high priests before Him offered up sacrifice for their sins and well as the people's sins because they were human beings with a sin nature.
During the days of Jesus' life on earth,
He offered up prayers and petitions with fervent cries and tears to the one who could save Him from death, and He was heard because of His reverent submission. Son though He was, He learned obedience from what He suffered and, once made perfect, He became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey Him and was designated by God to be high priest in the order of Melchizedek.

If Jesus was like us in every respect He would be a sinner like us. He would not have qualified to die for us if He had sinned Himself. The sacrifice had to be spotless. He was the spotless lamb
He was in human form - He suffered temptation - just as we and His brothers did.
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are--yet was without sin. Hebrews 4:1
You are close to understanding your Lord.
(Jesus) who does not need daily, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the sins of the people, because this Jesus did once for all when He offered up Himself. Heb 7:27
What did Jesus offer for himself?
Jesus offered up Himself for the sins of the world. Not for His own.
The high priests before Him offered up sacrifice for their sins and well as the people's sins because they were human beings with a sin nature.
Why do you think Jesus must need have that same nature?
During the days of Jesus' life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with fervent cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission. Son though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him and was designated by God to be high priest in the order of Melchizedek.
Hebrews 5:1-10
So you have quoted the very verse that show Jesus was held under the sentence of death.
If Jesus was under deaths power then he must have nature like yours!
You cannot get-around this truth.
Its your quote...not mine.

It's hard for some people to wrap their minds around this in the physical sense.

Well, I suppose there's another place for people, outer darkness. Jesus is a blinding light too. I just don't understand how he can do both, but he knows their hearts and perhaps knows they won't change???
What do you think, how does he just leave them in the dust like that?

I havent got the answers to why this and that and why one day i was so anti and then the next day i could see.Except by the Spirit of God.... but i do know there where days that I did reject him, also so may b that he reaches out to all more often than we like to believe or receive

There is definitely no peace there, it's obvious. I suppose we won't ever know what's going on in their minds since we don't think the same as them.
I found it, this is how and why;
John 3:19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for
fear that their deeds will be exposed. 21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.
He gives us night vision, we can see in the dark too. ::smile::

But he did suffer 4 all
It's amazing how fast something can change.
John 3:8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.
I do understand what it is to have a mind so calm and peaceful and that was on the day that i received Jesus Christ and felt the waves of the Holy Ghost flow down from above through my flesh as I wept for the first time in years.Before then I thought i was alright
I understood then what peace was and I understood 4 the first time what it was like to be clean.

U know the God of our universe wants 2 know the secrets of our soul .the Hidden things we don't even want to confess ourselves
Its really crazy because he already knows it.But still we hide like Adam because it gets tougher deeper
But in the spirit u can just let him enter remove and restore what was lost over many years.

I'm not thinking Insight has much insight. He surely hasn't shared anything to this point other than declaring himself the one who knows the gospel and yet he hasn't shared anything. Not a thing. And he evades direct questions. I have to wonder if he is on the up and up, frankly. What started out as a promising question for a thread turns out to be only a comeon for his own off the mark understanding. Oh well.....
Hi Segell,
Coming to the discussion late one can omit to go back and look at all the unanswered questions.
If you wish me to repost them I am more than able.
Insight
Sorry, Insight. You just don't offer any, um, insight. In fact, you haven't really said anything except to debunk God's Word with your unfortunate twisted understanding. Your views are actually an affront to all who trust in the Lord Jesus as Savior, Redeemer and Creator. You actually, perhaps without knowing, make a mockery of Christ's life, death and resurrection.
I believe you to be, in a sense, very sincere (your self elevation, however, causes me pause in trying to determine the depth of your sincerity). But if you are using the New World Bible as your authority, then there really would be no point of the debate, would there?
I don't wish to be disrespectful, but the truth is your teachings should be ignored rather than debated. Expecially on this sight where, by its name, we explore the grace of God though His Son and our Lord, Jesus. Jesus is who He said He is. In the beginning.......

What exactly did Jesus offer and why?
He offered Himself as an sin Offering, for the sins of God's Chosen or the People to make reconciliation for the People Heb 2:16-17
16For verily he took not on him the nature of angels;
but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
17Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God,
to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.This was foretold in Isa 53:10-11
10Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief:
when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
11He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied:
by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.

He died for the seed of abraham
Heb 2:16
16For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
Talking about the Limited intent of the atonement, there is perhaps no scripture that declares it more plainly than this one..
That the GodMan Mediator came to identify with the choice people he came to die for..not all of mankind, but the seed of abraham, that is a chosen people..
Ps 105:6
O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.
Isa 41:8
But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend
remember Jesus said :
Jn 15:13
13Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.[chosen ones]
When paul declared in 1 Cor 15:3
3For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
our sins = The seed of abraham
Heb 2:17,16
17Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren[seed of abraham], that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people[seed of abraham].
Notice, it says made like unto His brethern, which is the seed of abraham..
This is the same brethern as in Rom 8:29
29For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Yes, the seed of abraham is distinguished and particular, but the scope was broad, the scope was the world, and not Just israel..
Rom 4:18
18Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.
So, yes limited atonement is true, and must be preached truthfully or you have no gospel..
That Jesus christ came and Identifed with , the seed of abraham, and died for the seed of abraham, and rose again for the Justification of the seed of abraham...This is the Gospel of the Kingdom..
Yes, no doubt, all are sinners, but not all sinners are of the seed of abraham..

Yes, its called truth.... but very few have gone there. Many Christians today like the teachings that are palatable and easy on the senses. Sadly few understand the true nature of Jesus Christ.
The question has been put forth unanswered.
For sin to be condemned in the nature of Jesus Christ it had to be there in some form.

I don't know that it sat unanswered because no one could answer it.
I read through the whole thread since you bumped it up, and I guess it's a matter of personal taste, but I find the method of interaction off-putting.
In a topical discussion, assertions are made freely, and people can respond freely within the agreed upon topic.
When the interaction is a continuous framing of questions, then people are no longer responding freely to a specific topic. It's a variation of that old saw "He who defines the terms, controls the debate." In this case, he who defines the questions, controls the answers.
I neither like the sense of an ever tightening spiral chute to the questioner's predetermined destination, nor the sense of here's a cookie come this way.

Why did Jesus have sin's flesh?
He didn't, at least not the Jesus of scripture. He came in the likeness of sinful flesh, not that He came in sinful flesh. You are speaking a serious blasphemy here, you know that ?
Rom 8:3
3For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son
in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
The word likeness here is homoiōma:
that which has been made after the likeness of something
a) a figure, image, likeness, representation
b) likeness i.e.
resemblance, such as amounts almost to equality or identity
Paul says the same thing in another way Here Phil 2:7-8
7But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in
the likeness of men:
8And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Now since you made such a serious blasphemous statement, its on you to provide the scripture of Truth that states clearly that Christ came in sinful flesh or that He had a sinful flesh.

Paul says the same thing in another way Here Phil 2:7-8
7But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Now since you made such a serious blasphemous statement, its on you to provide the scripture of Truth that states clearly that Christ came in sinful flesh or that He had a sinful flesh.
I would implore you to study the word
likeness in its chosen context to discover l
ikeness to actually means the same.
Therefore Jesus had to be made like his brothers in every respect (Hebrews 2:17)
I cut the verse in the hope you will dig a little deeper and come back with an explanation why Jesus was required to possess sins flesh - born in the line of sinners. The son of Adam, Abraham and David.
Sorry this response has taken me so long.
Insight
When Adam had lived 130 years, he fathered a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth. (Genesis 5:3)
Likeness has relation to capacity (mental and moral), whereas image relates to shape or appearence. The original "likeness" of man to the Elohim (angels) had been marred by sin, and through sin had come physical death (Rom. 5:12).
Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned--(Romans 5:12)
Jesus Christ was and is the Son of Man.
For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, (Romans 8:3)
Insight
OK Insight, what did Jesus "offer" that made made you and me righteous to a holy God?
I ask this because Paul said in 2 Corinthians 5:21 that He became sin for us ( you and me )
that we might be made the righteousness of God in him."
When does this "righteousness" take affect?
Do we just say a pious prayer and ask Jesus into our heart and we become righteous?
I do not "feel" righteous how about you?
Did I pray long enough? was I passed over?
Now, if you are of the Catholic faith all you need to do is confess your sins to a priest;
go to mass at lest once a year to get another shot of faith from the Eucharist when you are running low.
There are those who make an alter call and get a new transfusion when their liquid faith is running low.
How about you? ever run low on faith? ever sin again?
How can one sin again if infused with the Holy Spirit upon belief?
Wouldn't Holy Spirit baptism make one divine? if not why not?
Rather confussing, but questions that come from inquiring minds
Do you understand what it was that Jesus overcame? What precisely was the agony he experienced till his baptism was accomplished ? Luke 12:50
