FAQ # 33

QUESTION  33 :  Is it true that if Jesus didn’t “suffered and died as a true person distinct and separate from (while still one with) the Father, the Atonement is incomplete and we remain in our sin” (Dick Helms)?

No rightly divided scripture can back this erroneous claim. What the scripture says is that “without shedding of blood is no remission” (Heb 9:22). It needed a sinless blood, all men were corrupted, so a second Adam (1 Cor 15:45) had to be made to atone the first Adam (Humanity). The only one worthy to do this was God himself, who is the only being that is “good” (Matt 19:7). Any sinless flesh might have, could have done it and it might have, could have worked, but only God incarnate could have produced such a flesh and save man. Hence, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God” (Lk 18:27).
