His blood being shed at the cross was the fulfillment of the prophecy of the first passover where the passover lamb was sacrificed and it's blood painted on the wooden posts and lintel of the doors on the hebrew homes. Yeshua did have the ability to forgive your sins and save you before he was crucified and he did this on many occasions to those who believed in him. The only God sanctioned sacrifice in jewish history was the passover sacrifice and then the covenant he was trying to establish where the Israelites would obey his voice and commandments, but they broke the 10 commandments before Moses even came down from the mountain when they worshipped the golden calf dedicated to the Queen of Heaven Ashtoreth (or Hathor in Egyptian).
Him being born here was only part of what saved us, him being our passover lamb is what caused God's wrath to pass over us. The next step was to confirm the covenant by believing in him. The crucifixtion parallels the jewish passover and the covenant made on Mt. Sinai, but diverges where the israelites broke that covenant before it was made, with the second covenant he establishes it with each individual as opposed to a nation of people.edit on 25-4-2012 by lonewolf19792000 because: (no reason given)

JUST COME TO ME, and I will be your Strength. You MUST simply come to ME. It cannot be accomplished without time together, SO, COME TO ME OFTEN, CONTINUOUSLY. I AM always here. I AM always ready to listen and respond. I AM a Great and Loving God, slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness. I do forgive your sins. I do clothe you with righteousness. You MUST only seek Me will all your heart and turn from your ways, and come to ME. Will you do that? I enjoy just being with you, not doing anything special together, just being together. I enjoy the fragrance of your worship. Times of solitude are peaceful to Me. It is like a quiet brook, flowing on the mountainside. I desire your presence. It is refreshing to Me. It is the fulfillment of My purposes when you choose to be with Me. It brings Me great pleasure. Do it often. Do not think every time we come together it must be to accomplish something. Simply being together IS the greatest accomplishment, just being with one another. Come let us enjoy one another!"
Father, I pray for your people, let them hear, let them see, let them receive your Words with joy. Let them commune with you in the cool of the morning, the noon time, and in the evening. Let them bask in your glorious presence, Let them dance, let them sing your praise. Father, I pray they hear this Word and do accordingly to your wishes for your glory and their joy. In Christ's Name, Amen.

There is nothing evil about seeking the truth and the light of knowledge, but for those intent on controlling you with limited knowledge, it is called evil. Going beyond the one book's knowledge literally unravels them and the best they can try to do is pull you down into the levels of four legged beasts and fail to allow you to walk upright.

EGADS! That's a lot of pontificating.
I don't even know what to do with all that.
Seriously, after the first ten PARAGRAPHS of anybody's response, my eyes tend to begin to glaze over and I start thinking about my grocery list.
However after the first 3 or 4 paragraphs of your post, your rambling seemed to dip into the delusional and lumber away into ad nauseum.
Good grief, it seems like people are coming out of the wood-work to give their 2-cents on this thread that was addressed to "The Bride of Christ".
I didn't know the Bride of Christ had so many eager detractors.
Who knew?

Seeking truth in & of itself is not evil.
Seeking it outside the will of your Creator or simply doing it in pride or conceit, however, is another matter entirely.
I have found that the hardest thing for those seeking truths, is to humble themselves in the process.
I thought the whole "Abraham sacrificing his son, then god supplying a goat to sacrifice instead" was alluding to the idea that Jesus was coming to be the perfect, once and for all sacrifice?

and where exactly are these words in the Bible?
nowhere..
Revelation 22:18-19 (King James Version)
18For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
seems to me you just took yourself out of the book of life & added unto thy self plagues with your first person plagiary...
see what your ego has done to yourself by being a smart ass, always wanting to prove how much smarter you are than the rest?
its ok right? because you know god better & he is inspiring you..
what a joke..

It is. in order to be crucified he had to be born, you don't get one without the other. Genesis 22 and Exodus 12 are both referring to the crucifixtion. This is why Yeshua ended up being crucified on the eve of Passover. His crucifixtion was prophecy being fulfilled and the pharisees and the religious sects played right into it because they stopped listening to God at Mt. Sinai. This is why when the poor people saw his miracles they knew exactly who he was and this is why he chose them to bear witness. In those times being devoutly religious and a member of the Sanhedrin or priesthood was a very prestigious position and very lucrative because the rabbinical orders were the ultimate say in government, the kings were afraid of them because the kings thought the priesthood and Sanhedrin had the ear of God. In otherwords the Sanhedrin were like Mafia Dons and the pharisees and sadducees were like the low level henchmen.edit on 25-4-2012 by lonewolf19792000 because: (no reason given)

What if, instead of listening to the second-hand revelations and interpretations of others, we listened to the still, small voice that speaks to us all if we could only be still and know... the kingdom of God is within.
What if Jesus wants to teach you Himself? See also: www.hallvworthington.com...
