John MacArthur: Why Did Jesus Have to Die?

Many skeptics have argued that the Christian doctrine of the atonement is inherently unjust. How is it just, they say, for an innocent man like Jesus to be punished for the sins of another? Even professing evangelicals have questioned the doctrine of substitutionary atonement, with one going so far as to call it "cosmic child abuse." In this lecture, Dr. John MacArthur looks at the biblical doctrine of the atonement showing how the righteousness and holiness of God are upheld in it.

    @@bogatsosboo927 : The unevenly yoked advice is to do before marrying. 1 Corinthians 7:39 A wife is bound as long as her husband is alive. But if her husband should fall asleep in death, she is free to be married to whomever she wants, ONLY IN THE LORD. Once a person is married, and becomes a Christian, he or she will have to be faithful to their spouse. 1 Peter 3:3 In the same way, you wives, be in subjection to your husbands, so that if ANY ARE NOT OBEDIENT TO THE WORD, they may be won without a word through the conduct of their wives, 2 because of having been eyewitnesses of your chaste conduct together with deep respect. Though this advice is given to wives, it applies to both husband and wives. Hope this is helpful.

It will definitely take me time to get used to whoever ends up filling his place. Under his leadership I have grown in such immense ways! Makes what I came out from even more stark.

I was very confused about this.. why God didn't offer grace to all But he is sovereign and he is righteous and we are his creation.. It's not up to us to try to correct God. We are all wretched sinners.. But for some reason and I don't know why He chose me As an elect of God That's the creation of all things.. Praise be the name of Jesus And thank you brother McArthur And brother Sprol..l was ready for meat.. And you've taught me so much..

    Who can listen to this and not cry, who can listen to this and not realize the magnitude and implications, of a godless life. The repercussions from generation to generation. All the lost souls, past, present and future. Heartbreaking and gratefulness simultaneously. The Lord will ultimately decide. And we are without excuse. Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6 From generation to generation. Knowing we will see our loved ones again. I wish he would've mentioned the Holy Spirit, and the importance of it.

    After the fall of Adam and Eve, the world was in darkness with sin and none could ascend to Heaven to see or face God. Good people were placed in certain locations like Abraham's Bosom or the Paradise. ((where Jesus rescued the good Thief on Good Friday stating "Today (not after 3 days of Resurrection ) I'll see you in Paradise")). God chose his only Son who had to willingly faced death to rescue the lost o souls and open the Gates of Heaven for us too by his Divine power of God.(other previous prophets couldn't to rescue souls through death since they were not of divine origin). And Jesus is always there in his Majestic youth to care and save us.

    The Jewish mythology was based on Adam and Lilith. The Christian theologians changed the story to Adam and Eve. By the way, (within theology), if Adam was the first man that the god created, who was there to see the god create Adam, to be able to later write the story? If you don't ask pertinent questions of the dogmas, you will never "be able" to spot the lies.

    The theology of Adam and Lilith was popular in Judaism, long before the Christians plagiarized the story to suit their own aims. And the Jews, at one time were polytheists, with beliefs in many gods. The stories are all based on human imagination ... not on truth. “We are all hallucinating all the time, including right now. It’s just that when we agree about our hallucinations, we call that reality. Anil Seth” … neuroscientist.

    @@ethanmeraz6477 As a child, raised in a Christian culture, I often wondered why the Jews had a name for their monotheistic (one) god … Jehovah … and the Christians only mentioned the word “Father.” Now, I understand that the Christians tried to imply that that one god no longer loved the Jews, and changed his focus instead to loving only the Christians. I suggest that within theology, god theft ought to be against the law. At least when the Jews were polytheists, with belief in many gods, there were plenty of gods with names for everyone. If they got fed up with how a god was treating them, they fired the god, and created one that was more cooperative to their systems of belief. As an 82 years of age person, I now believe, as did Stephen Hawking (before he died) ... that the universe always existed, no creator, or plan ever was involved.

THE ANSWER IS,, TO THE ONES WHO SAY THEY ARE SAVED,,, It would be senseless to say that to people who admit to going to Hell that knows they are not christians,,,, According to the Bible It Is The Ones Who Say They Are Saved and That Is Why God Will Say Those Words,,,,, People today who say they are saved don't make any sense of the Bible and they will surely pay by going to Hell as the Unsaved Who admits it !!!!!!!! But Don't Go In Life Without Believing That God Is.Not Real Because He Is Real and If you believe the things I have told you then HE WILL PRESENT HIMSELF TO YOU !!!!!!!!!

Because Jesus took on the sins of those who would believe in him on the cross, and God treated him as we deserve to be treated (separation from God and death), why does Jesus not get infinitely separated from God, as we would be had we not believed in Jesus and had our sins removed? Is it because he is all powerful and infinite?

Why do people have the idea that God is pleading and begging man to make a good choice, but the instant they make that choice they are locked in to going to heaven. If man truly was able to freely choose salvation, then it is only logically consistent that they would then be able to freely choose to not be saved again. In that system, your salvation is as sure as the direction of the wind.

    The assertion in question pertains to an intricate theological debate that has been the subject of extensive discourse and contemplation within the Christian faith. The passage alludes to the concept of the Trinity, a fundamental tenet in Christian theology which posits that God exists as three distinct persons-Father, Son (Jesus Christ), and Holy Spirit-yet is one God. This paradoxical doctrine has been a focal point of contemplation and interpretation, particularly in relation to the nature of Jesus Christ and the implications of his crucifixion. In 1st Timothy 6:16, the notion of God's immortality is presented, which prompts a contemplation of the implications surrounding the belief that Jesus, as part of the trinity, experienced mortality through his crucifixion. This line of reasoning leads to a pivotal theological quandary: if Jesus' flesh, as an integral aspect of the Trinity, indeed perished, does this, in essence, imply a temporary dissolution of a component of the divine essence? If so, this notion seemingly contradicts the concept of God's immortality, thereby presenting a theological conundrum that necessitates a nuanced and thoughtful exploration. Consequently, the subsequent dichotomy posits that if the flesh of Jesus is not considered a constituent element of the Trinity, it follows that Jesus may not be unequivocally identified as God incarnate. This line of reasoning leads to a profound and profound theological inquiry that delves into the nature of Jesus' divinity and the essentiality of his sacrificial act. The crux of the matter lies in the implication that, should Jesus not be recognized as an inseparable aspect of the divine Trinity, the redemptive significance of his sacrifice could potentially be called into question, thus challenging the very foundation of Christian soteriology. This intricate theological puzzle necessitates a comprehensive examination of the nature of the Trinity, the hypostatic union of Christ, and the profound implications of his salvific work. Furthermore, it underscores the necessity of engaging in rigorous theological reflection and dialogue to navigate the complexities inherent in reconciling the mortality of Jesus' flesh with the overarching concept of God's immutability and eternality.

    An interesting myth of Baal tells of his battle with the god Mot, whose name means “death” (KTU 1.5-1.6). The storm god is defeated by Mot and dies, descending into the underworld. Later, Baal’s sister Anat defeats Mot and rescues Baal (KTU 1.6.ii.26-27). The myth is an allegory for the agricultural season. The god of storm arises during his proper season. A number of historians see these myths of Baal as the catalysts for later religious innovations. Baal’s death and resurrection is viewed by some as the origin for later beliefs about dying and rising savior gods and belief in life after death (J. Day 2000, pp. 116-27). Baal’s defeat of Yamm, the sea god, is thought by some to be the origin of the later tale of Israel’s exodus through the Red Sea (compare Isaiah 51:9-10) (Kloos 1986).

    The idea that God would not be just to forgive sin without taking it out on a substitute, is error. To forgive is to love, and to love is to be just. Love is at the top of the tree and so needs not justifiy itself to anyone or anything, a fact commensurate with the fact that God is love and God is at the top of the tree. Substitutionary atonement implies that the law is an institution separate to God which God must pay attention to and satisfy. Its foundation therefore is legalism, for its premise is that God is under the law. But rather, Christ's death was simply demonstration of His death to self with regard to her who had been given to Him by the Father (on the proviso that He would never demand anything of her). For such (otherwise) demands constituted the law: in order to demonstrate that He would never use the law against her who had been given to Him by the Father, the Son had to go under the hammer of that very law. Which He indeed did. For the Jews were correct in their accusation that He broke the first commandment when He declared that He was equal with God (by declaring He was God's son). And so their crucifying of Him was indeed correct according to the law. And so we understand why it is that the apostle declares that "the law is not of faith": if it were of faith, it would not have crucified Him who declared in faith that He was God. Christ came as groom to receive His bride, and so being no pleasure-seeking fornicator, He would show her she was joint heir with Him by going under the law which had (otherwise) implied she was less than He. This in turn would prove to the Spirit that this very Christ was our very true Husband, and so the Spirit could enter us in confidence declaring this to be so. So then: 1. The Father betrothed us to the Son on the condition that the Son would never demand anything of us - that indeed the government would be upon His shoulders rather than ours. 2. The Son learned obedience by the things He suffered, and in particular by going under the hammer of the very law which had (otherwise) constituted such demands. 3. By virtue of (2), the Spirit could enter us as the exhaustive proxy of the Son, declaring to us that this very Jesus Christ is our very true Husband who will love us as Himself. So: (1) is the Father's giving of His daughter as wife to the Son. (2) is the Son's proving to the Father of His worthiness of the Father's prized possession. (3) is the consummation of the marriage (analgous to the human sexual union). So the correct idea is expressed via the marital paradigm. See then the "Atonement" section at colossians.freeforums.net .

    The early church never had any dispute over the doctrine of sin before Augustine. When Augustine formulated his doctrine it was a new idea and that is why the Greek church fathers rejected it. Augustine formulated his theory from his interpretation of Romans 5:12. He theorized that we all sinned “in” Adam. The early church had never interpreted Romans 5:12 this way. The early church believed that we sin “because” Adam sinned. They believed that Adam was guilty for his own sin. In the same sense we are guilty for our own sins. They did not believe that Adams sin corrupted human nature. What they believed is that we received a Mortal Nature from Adam, not a sinful nature. The reason for this is found in the two verses that follow Romans 5:12. It reads: 13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. Vs 13 says that the men who lived from Adam to Moses had not sinned after the “similitude of Adams transgression. The reason their sin was not like Adams sin was for three reasons. First Adam was the first man. Second Adam was the first man to sin. Thirdly Adams sin brought death into creation. These men who lived after Adam to Moses were sinners. But it says that their sin was NOT imputed to them because the Torah had not been given yet. This clearly shows that these men had no “imputed guilt” from Adam. In fact they had no guilt reckoned to them at all because the law had not been given. Augustine could have easily corrected his interpretation of Romans 5:12 if he had read vs 13 because it contradicts his theory of imputed guilt to all men. These men who lived after Adam had no imputed or reckoned guilt because there was no Torah. In vs 14 it says that these men who lived after Adam had a more central problem. Adams transgression had placed them under the reign of death. This is confirmed by Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:56 when he says that “The sting of death is sin.” It was Adams first sin that had brought all men under the slavery and captivity of death. For that reason the wages of Adams sin for Adam was death. For all other men after Adam the “sting of death is sin. This is what is called the two dimensional aspects of sin. Both aspects are true, but the the bigger problem for us is death. It was also the central problem for these men who lived after Adam. Also this passage Identifies Adam as a Type of the one who is to come. This is universally interpreted to mean that Adam was a TYPE of Christ, The one who is to come or the second Adam. The next observation here is that Adam is a TYPE who sets up a PATTERN of the one who is to come. This is why the Bible teaches " that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to DECAY and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God. We know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until the present time". Romans 8:21,22. Cyril of Alexandria , Our nature became "diseased...through the sin of one". It is not guilt that is passed on, for the church fathers; it is a condition, a disease". The creation itself has been warped now that death is here, and since we are part of creation our relation to it is not the same. We are not in Eden any longer. So this is why the early church saw Adam as primarily giving us a Mortal Nature not a sinful nature. Our expressions of depravity are from the condition of death that has entered the world. Since Adam has Headship Paul lays out the fulfillment of the second Adam. 1 Corinthians 15:21 “For since death came through a human being, the resurrection of the dead has also come through a human being”; Christ who is the second Adam. The fulfillment of the pattern between the first and second Adam here is obvious. Adams sin brings death. Christ brings life. The western tradition by adopting Augustine’s doctrine of Original Sin or imputed guilt has shifted the emphasis from death to sin as the central problem that man faces. This emphasis is the very opposite of how the early church saw the purpose of the incarnation of Christ and his work on the cross. The scripture defines the work of Christ in Hebrews 2:14, 15. “Forasmuch then as the children are partaker’s of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil.” Also 1 John 3:8 “For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.” So the early church saw the work of Christ as defeating the devil who held the power of death over men. By shifting the problem to sin instead of death as the central problem the Protestant Reformers invented the doctrine of Penal Substitution. They saw the central problem as sin and not death. I would make another point here. The early church believed that Christ in the incarnation took on a Mortal Nature and by doing so enters into his creation that has been infected by death. It would have been impossible for the incarnation to occur if Christ had taken on a sinful nature from Mary. Instead when you understand that Christ takes on a Mortal Nature it becomes more obvious that by assuming a MORTAL Nature Christ subjects himself to the power of death so that He might defeat the central problem we face. By defeating death sin is defeated. The work of Christ is not about satisfying God’s wrath. God in his love is bringing justice to our oppressors. Satan, sin and death. This is the deeper understanding of the Atonement.God does not have to beat Jesus up on the cross so that God can stop being mad at you. Show less

    The the response is that God chose Mary to be the God bearer. You can ask hypothetical questions about anything that God does. But the point is that God chose and used Mary to bear Jesus Christ. The scripture says that Mary is highly favored among woman. When the Archangel Gabriel spoke to her, the Blessed Virgin could have refused God’s request to bear His Son. Her positive response to the Archangel Gabriel plays an important part in salvation. As St. Irenaeus of Lyon wrote, "Mary is the second Eve, whose obedience liberates humanity from the consequences of the disobedience of the first Eve. For this reason, on the Feast of the Nativity of Mary, Orthodox Christians sing, “ … the Mother of Life, who is the renewal of the creation of Adam and the recall of Eve, the fountain of incorruption, the liberation from corruption, through whom we have been deified and delivered from death, is born of the seed of David, dispersing darkness.” Mary could have refused to bear Christ, but she chose to obey God. Mary’s obedience is an example of synergy, or cooperation, with God.

    Leo, it's not you, it's the crap this guy is shoveling. The Simple Gospel is this: God is love, and He loves you because He created you. Scripture uses the term adoption but it's not like we think of it. God is Father, Son, and Spirit before time began. They are love, family, relationship, unity, togetherness. They wanted a family of kids to love on so, just like people get married and want children to 'complete' their family we were created in Their image and likeness. Love, relationship. (We were created for relationship) My friend, you are loved, and not because of anything you have done but because They choose to love you. Just as we expect nothing from our children for us to love them God is the same and chose to love you, period. Don't let his works gospel deceive you into not believing the truth of the love of God. Yes, God is that good. Blessings!

    @@cybrnator There are so many respected scholars who present evidence of Jesus not dying on the cross. And theres so much evidence that he travelled to and died in Kashmir in India. Plse also look into the tribes in Afghanistan who refer to themselves as Christian Muslims and many others across the middle East who know they are from the Bani Israel ie from one of the lost 12 Tribes of Israel who had become scattered across the midwest east. Remember there were only 2 tribes in Palestine at the time of jesus and jesus did say that his mission was to bring the other lost 10 tribes back into the fold. So he couldn't die before fulfilling his mission. God designed it so that he was crucified v late on Friday at 3pm as that meant that he would have to be bought down off the cross as Jewish law forbade anyone to be on the cross during sabbath. And sabbath started at sunset from the night before. So Jesus was only on the cross for 3 hours. Whereas it usually took 3 days and nights for someone to die a slow painful death on the cross. So God made it look like he was dead.

    Although many Christians have a certain theological desire that connects them, still the orphan, the widow and the stranger in the gates are usually ignored, women suppressed in the name of the Lord -hence the burning core of the bible and heart of Jesus Christ is ignored. One may want to die for one's theology, but be far from the LORD and eternity with Him. Repent.

    "Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God." Hebrews 12:2 He wasn't shouting for joy as he went to the cross by any means, but there was a deeper joy that drove him to die on our behalf. His soul was actually in agony before enduring the cross (Luke 22:41-42), yet he still chose to be obedient because of that strong undercurrent of joy.

    John 10 14 I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd. 17 For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it up again. 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord.

    Jesus Christ died for your sins on a cross and rose again after three days. You have committed evil deeds, as we all have done. God is a just judge, and must punish you for these sins, because he is perfect by his nature. But God loves you, does not want to punish you. This is why God took the form of a man, Jesus Christ, and died as a sacrifice for your sins on a cross. He was punished for your sins, so that you could be made righteous in God's sight. After three days, Jesus rose again, because it is impossible for him to have been held down by death. This is great news! Repent, (that is, change your mind,) and believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and be saved from the judgement of God. God will reward you for your faith with eternal life, and forgiveness for your deeds. I sin, and you sin, and we both will continue to sin, but Jesus Christ died for these sins, and God is willing to forgive them. Please, repent, and believe the Gospel.

    Romans 3:23, "All have sinned & fallen short [missed the mark] of the glory of God." All are born in sin therefore all need forgiveness. Since the penalty for sin is death, Jesus Christ took all men's & women's sin upon Himself & took our sin & death upon Himself so all who receive Him as Lord & Savior can receive forgiveness & eternal life.
