It means doing something completely so that it never happens again. It does not mean doing something througout all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you believe that Jesus' sacrifice effects redemption for you? Do you believe that Jesus' death effects redemption for people who lived 1000 years ago? The idea is that his one-time death paid the debt for all sin at any point in time in the earth. That it was effective for a person living in any point in history. For all time. This is not a difficult distinction here, and you seem to be trying to twist our words into what you THINK we believe. Which is not what we believe.

YOU were the one who brought up the question of time: [quote name='Budge' post='1228310' date='Apr 3 2007, 09:26 AM']Didnt I point out in the course of this conversation somewhere that at the Last Supper THEY COULDNT BE DRINKING OR EATING THE BODY OR BLOOD OF CHRIST because He had NOT gone to the cross yet? If He had not gone to the cross yet, why would the apostles be sitting there ALREADY DRINKING HIS BLOOD?[/quote] implying that Christ's sacrifice was not sufficient for the redemption of those born before his coming. Which is patently unbiblical. If the sacrifice of Christ is sufficient to cover their sins, then there must have been a connection between people who lived before the time of Christ and Christ, even though he had not come. Hence my conception of the arc, that time is curved around the sacrifice of Christ, with that at its center, touching every point. The arc conception helps ME to understand it, but you could equally say that the cross radiates out to every point in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathoholic_anonymous Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 [quote]In fact why would the time warping even have been an issue otherwise?[/quote] Because an event that happened in 33 AD would not be able to cover the sins of all those millions of people who existed prior to Christ's days on earth if time were strictly linear. God stands outside time. By logical extension, Calvary and the Resurrection are outside time as well. It's nothing to do with Jesus' death being [i]perpetual[/i], but with being [i]perpetuated[/i]. There is a fundamental difference and you don't have to be a great philosopher to recognise it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
