Really? Paul (the apostle) wrote that even though he observed all of the
ancient Law, he was still flawed and imperfect in the eyes of God. He
admitted that he also needed the blood of Christ to make him blameless in His
sight. Our equal punishment is death. . . we're all gonna go. . . Death
where is thy sting? Our payment for being inherent sinners is death, not how
we die or how we suffer while we're here.
and because the fact remains that many, many
other people have been crucified throughout history, before and after
Jesus.
Well, the point of Jesus perishing on a cross was that, 1) He was innocent (a
perfect lamb) & 2) It was the most gruesome way to be killed, the death of
murderers, robbers, etc. (criminals). 3) And He did so in our place
