Double jeopardy is a procedural defense that forbids a defendant from being tried twice for the same crime on the same set of facts.
I know Daddy send his son to die for us, TOOK OUR ALL OUR SINS and sufferings.
I have a question to ask. If Jesus died and took all our our sins, how about those who are going to hell? The same sin cannot be trailed twice. Whether they accept Christ or not, Jesus still died for them..
He is the same God who cannot remove Law just like that, God has to fulfill the requirements. The same just God I know cannot let Jesus pay for people's sins if we are going to pay for it on Judgement day.
On Judgement Day does people's unbelieve cause them to pay for their own sins?
AND Did Jesus die for the sin of unbelieve?
nice :)
ReplyDeleteAssuming your definition of double jeopardy is correct, the same defendant cannot be tried twice.
ReplyDeleteWhen you believe in Jesus, you allow him to stand trial in your place. He becomes the defendant in your place.
For those who do not want to take Jesus as their Substitute, they stand trial as themselves. Double jeopardy does not apply, as they opted not to be judged at the Cross and choose to stand trial at the end.
So yes, on Judgment Day, people pay for their own sins.
Jesus was always an overpayment - both in quality for our own sins, and in quantity for the whole world.
Yes, Jesus died for the sin of our unbelief - I consider all the times I refused to believe... If unbelief wasn't covered, I'd be kaput.
Do read
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atonement_%28substitutionary_view%29
and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atonement_%28unlimited_view%29 . Then for the limited atonement view, check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atonement_%28limited_view%29 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_points_of_Calvinism#Five_points_of_Calvinism .
Pastor has stated before in a single sermon (date unknown) that he does not believe in limited atonement, and by extension, he also does not believe in 5-point Calvinism. He said that the 5 points need to be taken together as one argument.
Very interesting. If double jeopardy = the same defendant cannot be tried twice then it makes sense. But I have a question, although it is a different defendant it is the same sin that is being tried.
ReplyDeleteIs it just to punish the same sin on different defendant(those who are not saved)? From my perspective no matter how much people who refuse financial help, if someone paid for the debt, the bank cannot and will not mortgage that persons property, it is just not just.
Looking back at the sin offering, if the priest in the old covenant offers a sacrifice, irregardless of what the person believes judgement cannot come on him. Same thing with the blood on the door during the plague.
If the same sin can be tried, it becomes quite scary, even on different defendants. But more importantly is the question of justice.
I know Daddy is just so somethings is still wrong with what I know.
Either
Sin tried twice- It is just for the same sin to be tried twice because of unbelief
or
Since tried once- There was limited atonement. Jesus did not die for everyone's sin.(sorry ZJ don't understand the 5 points thing.
or
Different sin tried- Maybe on judgement day people will be punished for not accepting Jesus as the perfect offering and punished for that which is a separate sentence from the Adam's fall and the law problem (This view is self created).

ReplyDeleteOk sorry to spoil all the fun with the gamechanger -
ReplyDeleteDouble jeopardy does not exist in the Bible.
True?
It's an analogy meant to assist understanding. Likewise with the bank and debt analogy.
"Looking back at the sin offering, if the priest in the old covenant offers a sacrifice, irregardless of what the person believes judgement cannot come on him. Same thing with the blood on the door during the plague." - need to read more, but this may not be true... because the blood of animals was always an imperfect measure.
So, if you abandon double jeopardy (since it is a flawed analogy), do you still have questions?
