The book of Romans is the New Testament and does not qualify. Once again, the Hebrews do not believe in such a thing, because their scripture clearly says no man can die for the sins of another.
And in Isiah it still does not say the messiah is supposed to die, and be a sacrificial lamb in a mock passover sacrifice. I see the part about salvation, where is the part about sins.
GTFOH! Having this discussion is not even fun, because you people are irrational and easily defeated.You said a whole bunch of nothing with smilies and presented an invalid argument. Please come correct
By the way:
I'll go no further than that. And I won't be responding beyond this.
Welcome back.
The book of Romans is the New Testament and does not qualify.
According to who? You?
Once again, the Hebrews do not believe in such a thing, because their scripture clearly says no man can die for the sins of another.
You're talking about Psalms 49:7. And what it says is true.
Believing that the Messiah can die for you sins and not believing that any other can do so is not mutually exclusive. Neither Jews nor Christian purport that men can generally die for another person's sins. Believing that Jesus as Messiah could do it doesn't automatically mean I'm okay with you dying for my sins.
When you pick out individual verses without allowing for both immediate and broader context or being informed by other scripture, I can see how you can come up with weird interpretations like this, but understanding context is extremely important to the bible's interpretation.
And in Isiah it still does not say the messiah is supposed to die, and be a sacrificial lamb in a mock passover sacrifice. I see the part about salvation, where is the part about sins.
"7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted,
Yet He opened not His mouth;
He was led as a lamb to the slaughter,
And as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
So He opened not His mouth."
"8 He was taken from prison and from judgment,
And who will declare His generation?
For He was cut off from the land of the living;
For the transgressions of My people He was stricken."
Pretty clearly compares Him to a lamb (which would have been a pretty clear allusion to Passover for Jews at that time), says He died as a result of the suffering described, and even follows up by saying that He was stricken "for the transgressions of my people". Once again, "transgression" and sin are synonymous, and some translations even say "sin" specifically.

For something that's not fun, you certainly seem to like doing it.
You can dismiss my comments as "a whole bunch of nothing", but that doesn't really answer my rebuttals now, does it?
Like I said, it's crazy how people who don't read the Bible try to tell people who do what it means or how it's interpreted.
