What magical mystical force transferred our sins onto Jesus Christ?
Was it the way we kicked him, spat on him, and killed him even after all the good he had done? Or the way we brutally killed him in the most painful way imaginable for no good reason? Seriously, what part of this made it so that we could just pass off the blame for our sins onto him? May Pelor shine upon your path. May Melandru carry you swiftly through uncertainty. May Haruhi cheer you in dark times.

- Jesus accepted God's will to take upon all the sin's of the world to put on the Cross and put the sins to death. Then he rose from the grave anew.
- That idea was invented by the priests - it isn't based on anything solid.
- I dont believe there was an actual act, but prophecy of the prophets
- The Grace of God!
- Jesus lived a sin free life. The blood He shed can cover our sins because it doesn't have to pay for His. What do your details mean?
- The magical word of conquer, fear, superstition, forced conversion, and manipulation of the innocent minds.
- Yes in a way it was. God had declared that the punishment for sin was death. God's word is true. The only way for mankind to avoid the eternal separation from a loving God was for someone to live a sinless life and die for all of mankind. Jesus did this for us because he wanted us to be where he is.
- Jesus actually took sin by faith.He let sin enter His spirit man by faith. It had to be by faith since he never commited sin. And since He never commited sin, He would have to become sin, not with His sin, but yours and mine. On the flip side of that. You and I have never committed righteousness. Self righteousness is as filthy rags in the sight of an absolutely holy God.There fore for me to be righteous, I would have to be righteous, not with my righteousness, but with the righteousness of Jesus, the Christ. Now you can stand before God with your good deeds and hope they outweigh your bad deeds.I will stand before God clothed with the righteousness of the risen Jesus.
- Our sins are a subset of all human Sin. It was for the Sin of the world that Jesus died. If I had committed one more sin, Jesus would not have had to suffer just that bit more. Your notion of transfer is theologically imprecise. peace
- None If GOD judged people.. he/she would not be so different than us
- A man was found guilty of speeding. He was then taking to a court were there was a certain judge known for his VERY strict punishments in accordance with what the law demanded.He made NO exception for anyone, even though the man who now stood before him was his own son, the creation of said judge's loins.The judge looked at the man and pronounced sentence upon him.The man would have to pay a very stiff fine, however, what the judge did next was to get up, stand before the seat of judgment, pull out his wallet, and pay the fine in full.The debt was paid. Got Jesus?
- Like most of the things in christian religion it supposedly just works by some force of god. 'How it happens is not for us to understand but only to accept' (says any christian speaker you ask)
- Why do people who don't understand something just assume it's some wizardry or hocus pocus? If you'd understand it it wouldn't be a "magical mystery force".
- Well I'm not a believer but.... .,...That magical mystical force would be the power of God. You know... that magical mystical God whose more or less the central theme of Christianity? Yep, pretty sure He's the party responsible for the transference.
- Oh girhenna am I on that Indian site again? I promise to be coherent. Jesus took on our sins but it was because we have been in darkness for hundreds if not thousands of years. God was only resurrected yesterday! Give Him a chance to talk to Jesus about shutting the liights back down and more darkness for sinners. I'm blind. I can't see. It's that devil ain't it? I made some bad decisions. Maybe I'll go lay down on His grave if I could find it. Thank You Jesus. Thank You for giving back my life and paying for it with your lashes. Ow! I read praying. Pray for me Lord. Pray about my work. Forgive me. I'm glad your Father is feeling better. Them resurrections can be hard on the old buggy. That's what I heard. God can do it. He could resurrect all the dead people at once and command Jesus to just come and save Micheal' army. Thank You for just saving me from that sea of darkness where the devil lurks and is angry. I don't know why he's angry at me. I'm the one that told him God was laying there and not reading. I didn't see no fire coming out like a stream to just boil me like a sweet potato so I starts to sweating and getting all bothered. My arms get to moving again and I can stretch. Was that better? I hope it is cause I got to read it tomorrow.
- It wasn't magical, or mystical. It was an act of love. One man brought sin into the world (Adam), so that one man could save the world. (Christ Yeshua). It was a free gift. An act of love so enormous - the common man can't comprehend it. Why do you ask, ye who kicks and spats?
