jerry, this makes sense and it also explains the bad things that we see in the world.
If Jesus was GOD, then was it impossible for Him to sin? If He was human, could He have sinned? If Jesus Christ was only human he could not have paid the penelty for ALL of Human kind.
The first verse in the Bible says, "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth," (Genesis 1:1), verse 26, "And God said, ‘Let US make man in OUR image…�?
Now the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23). Sin is the breaking of God's Ten Commandments (I John 3:4). The penalty of sin is the death penalty of a human life!
Sin is not eternal life, though eternal life in an everburning "hell fire" for the wages of sin is death. Sin requires a penalty, otherwise God would compromise with His law, which is "holy, and just, and good" (Romans 7:12)
"But Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death (the penalty for sins), crowned with glory and honor; that He by the grace of God should taste death for every man" (Hebrews 2: 9).
"Forasmuch then as the children (of God) are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same; that through death He might destroy (counterwork) him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
"And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. "For verily He took not on Him the nature of angels; but He took on Him the seed of Abraham. "Wherefore 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" (Hebrews 2:9-18).
