Was Jesus death was to compensate the lives of the innocent babies ?

Greeting & Blessings Andrew!

    Of course you can ask this question...our Loving Father is not a God of confusion & He has put us together to encourage & extol one another...do not ever feel you have to apologize for asking questions,,,,Im sure everyone here (as much as I )am more than happy to point you to the appropriate Scripture where you may find what you are looking for & I encourage you to pray the Lord gives you  a refreshed indwelling of His Holy Spirit that you may have Wisdom & Understanding....ask Jesus with all of your heart,He will give you what you ask....

   FresnoJoe & nebula have referred you to the beautiful book of Hebrews(chapts9-10)for your reading & keep in mind that even in Genesis when the original sin was committed...God required a blood sacrifice,he covered Adam & Eve with the skins of the animals that were the sacrifice....and their nakedness(their shame was covered).......isnt God amazing?And then Jesus came and made that new & living way that He consecrated for us to pass through the veil(His flesh)and enter into the Holy of Holies......Wow,Jesus Blood was shed and once again we are covered just like Adam & Eve.....but the perfect Blood of Jesus was once for All...no more jkilling of animals or high priests...Jesus did it all,forever.....His finished work!

    I am just paraphrasing and giving God a praise,where would we be without Jesus?But read all about it and just soak up the precious Word of God!!!

I hope I'm not bringing alot of confusion . Somebody can ask this question , was Jesus death necessaryfor remission of our sins ? What would you say ?

 

Hi Andrew,  I'd probably start by answering the question with another question (just to get the ball rolling), so I'd ask them

who was John referring to when he said ...'“Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!..." and I

would also ask how else anybody can have assurance of their forgiveness apart from Jesus.

 

You bring up some interesting thoughts on the massacre of the young children, but I think we can only speculate when

both Scripture and history are silent on the matter... I am also unaware of any traditional teachings that might cover the

subject...so we have to be content with our thoughts on the matter which may or may not be profitable.

I'm interested to hear your answer to question in accordance with your personal beliefs.

God is never the source of such atrocities. Satan is. The only place I can remember the Bible saying that God did such a thing is the slaughter of the first born in Egypt when Pharoah would not let the Israelites leave. Exodus 12:23. This was to force Pharoah to do His will and to avenge their suffering in Egypt. He was fighting on their behalf. I am comforted that God fights on behalf of His children, and that there will be judgement for the death of martyrs for the faith. Many have died at the hands of both mad men such as the Roman emporers as well as Muslim terrorists throughout the centuries and today.

Here is a controversial issues that during Jesus' birth , lives of innocent babies were lost through Herod's hands . One thing I don't know if they died as martyrs. Secondly whether the parents who were affected remained to bless Jesus or cursed him the entire of their life . Thirdly and most crucial, did Jesus die as compensation for the slayed babies or for our sin?

for our sins

 Let me humbly ask you a question that may help lead you to your own answer.... If just before the wrath of God, all infants and innocent people died in flesh and where taken to be with God so they would not suffer the hardships of tribulation... would this be a cruel injustice done by God?   Jesus said " The flesh profits nothing " and that it is best he go(flesh death) so that we might receive the promise of the spirit of truth... and know that he(Jesus) and the Spirit of Truth LIVES for us and in us if we receive it.

  Why some things happen we may never know but, I trust they all work to the glory of God and for our lessons and learning.

You can always find the answers you seek from God, if you ask humbly and truthfully.. he will lead you to what you need.
