DavidM: Perhaps you can explain your understanding of atonement more for us because I don't understand how the atonement has any meaning if the blood of Jesus was not like the rest of us, neither do I understand the meaning of Christ's moral uprightness if he did not share the same weak flesh as the rest of us. Is there any Bible verse anywhere that has taught you that in order for Jesus to sanctify us his blood had to be unlike our own?
Judy: There could not have been an atonement if Jesus had the blood of Adam coursing through his veins because then he would have been born in sin and he would have had a sin nature like the rest of us and this would have disqualified him because the sacrifice had to be a male who was perfect and without blemish. Scripture teaches that "he was made sin for us who knew no sin that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him" (2 Cor 5:21).
