They seem to have exceeded the scope of my question. I'm just asking if Jesus "dying for our sins" means anything other than that Jesus took the punishment for our sins by dying for them.

When I wrote, "They seem to have exceeded the scope of my question.", what I meant was that was how the answers seemed to have exceeded the scope of my question. I guess that's the best answer I could give. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just asking the question I'm asking and seem to be getting answers that are kind of answering something I'm not asking and I guess sticking to what I was asking seemed like the best thing to do. Also I sort of misplaced a post and misread a post. Sorry for claiming that you were changing my question, nzkev. What I'm asking is does Jesus "dying for our sins" mean anything other than that Jesus took the punishment for our sins by dying for them. Maybe if this were a real life conversation my question would get across better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess there might be a lot of meaning in those words. In 1 Corinthians 15:3 is Paul (it's Paul, right?) saying that Jesus died to take the punishment for our sins when he says that Christ died for our sins? Is that what he means? He wouldn't mean anything else in those words would he? If someone said to someone else that Jesus died for their sins would they be saying that Jesus died to take the punishment for their sins if they were saying it in the same way Paul was?

It means that He took the punishment for my sins by dying for them, doesn't it? Isn't that what Paul is saying in 1 Corinthians 15:3, that Jesus took the punishment for our sins by dying for them?
