| ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ( B ) JDS � DENIES THE PHYSICAL FLESH/BLOOD BODY OF JESUS WHICH ALONE SUFFERED, DIED AND PAID FOR MANS� REDEMPTION The JDS teaching states that Jesus suffered and died in His Spirit for mankinds� redemption from sins and death. Persons who believe and teach JDS conclude and state that because sin ultimately results in spiritual death then Jesus must also have had to die in His Spirit in order to redeem mankind from sin and death. True enough, sin is a spiritual matter as well as a matter of the flesh and certainly does result in spiritual death. Yet no where in scripture is a teaching of Jesus dying spiritually for sins either stated plainly or hinted at. Rather, the scriptures clearly and plainly write that it was the physical body of Jesus alone which purchased mankinds� redemption and which paid the penalty for sin, death. Therefore, the teaching of Jesus dying spiritually blatantly denies the truth of scripture concerning our Lord Jesus Christs� physical death for sins; 18. Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things? 19. Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. 20. Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? 21. But he spake of the temple of his body. 22. When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said. - John 2:18-22 ( see Luke 24:35-39 ) [26] And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. [27] And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; [28] For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. - Matt. 26:26-28 [22] And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body. [23] And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it. [24] And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many. - Mark 14:22-24 [19] And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. [20] Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you. - Luke 22:19-20 24. Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25. Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; - Romans 3:24-25 [8] But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. [9] Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. - Romans 5:8-9 3. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: - Romans 8:3 [23] For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: [24] And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. [25] After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. - I Corinthians 11:23-25 [14] In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: - Colossians 1:14 [20] And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. [21] And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled [22] In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: - Col. 1:20-22 5. Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6. To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. 7. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; - Ephesians 1:5-7 [13] But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. [14] For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; [15] Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; [16] And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: - Eph. 2:13-16 14. Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; - Heb. 2:14 [10] By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. - Hebrews 10:10 19. Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20. By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; - Heb. 10:19-20 [24] And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. - Heb. 12:24 [18] Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; [19] But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: - I Peter 1:18-19 [18] For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: - I Peter 3:18 1. Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; - 1 Peter 4:1 7. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. - 1 John 1:7 5. And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, - Rev. 1:5 9. And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10. And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. - Revelation 5:9-10 Take particular notice of the writing of Paul in Romans 8:3, Col. 1:21-22 and Eph. 2:15. And of Peter in 1 Peter 3:18 & 4:1 and of the writer of Hebrews in chapter 10:19-20. In all of these passages, scripture makes very clear as to what aspect of Jesus Christ suffered and died for the redemption of mankind. The flesh of Jesus and not His Spirit. Paul clearly writes that God condemned sin in the FLESH of His Son. In Pauls� letter to the believers in Colossians he writes that our reconciliation ocurred in the death of the FLESH body of Christ. In Pauls� letter to the believers in Ephesus he writes that Jesus abolished the enmity, ( that is to say mankinds� active hatred and opposition towards God ), in His FLESH. In the writings of Peter, he writes and clearly states that Christ was put to death in the FLESH and that Christ suffered for us in the FLESH. In Hebrews it is written that Jesus Christ consecrated for us, ( that is to say Christ sanctified, blessed and dedicated ), a new and a living way through the veil, that is to say the FLESH of Jesus Christ. The scripture is clear and straight forward in revealing by what death and suffering that Jesus Christ endured for our salvation. Again, the apostle Paul preaches by what means God bought His church; 28. Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. - Acts 20:28 24. Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. - 1 Peter 2:24 Peter writes that Jesus bore our sins in His body on the tree, thus clearly revealing that the physical, flesh body of Jesus bore our sins on a physical, earthly tree. Jesus� blood was shed on that tree, that physical wooden cross. A spirit has no blood in itself to offer for the remission ( the removal ) of sins and iniquities. These words of Peter perfectly agree with the testimony of the apostle Paul who in his letter to the Roman Christians wrote that it was in the FLESH of Jesus, Gods� Son, where sin was condemned ( Romans 8:3 ). Jesus Christ purchased and redeemed the Christian with His shed blood and not with the death of His Spirit. JDS is not of God. In truth, JDS is of Satan to deceive and send people to eternal damnation. JDS is simply a destructive and poisonous teaching which has no basis in holy scripture whatsoever. JDS is a doctrine of devils which slanders the eternal, divine work and person of the Lord Jesus Christ. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- [email protected] - Roger |
