Satan is the one who tried to prevent Christ from being killed:
oFrom that time Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go
to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and chief
priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be
raised. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him,
saying, oFar be it from you, Lord! This shall never happen to
you.o But he turned and said to Peter, oGet behind me, Satan!
You are a hindrance to me. For you are not setting your mind on
the things of God, but on the things of man.oo (Matthew
16:21u23, ESV)
That's because Christ's death is the only means by which men's sins can
be atoned for.
oMy little children, I am writing these things to you so that you
may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with
the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. He is the propitiation
for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the
whole world.o (1 John 2:1u2, ESV)
ofor all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are
justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is
in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his
blood, to be received by faith. This was to show GodAs
righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed
over former sins. It was to show his righteousness at the
present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the
one who has faith in Jesus.o (Romans 3:23u26, ESV)
Romans 6 confirms that it is those who are baptized into Christ's death
and resurrection through faith, who are freed from the power of sin.
Since your own death does NOT atone for your sins, anyone who rejects >Christ's atonement for their sins will leave a just God with no
alternative but to impose the justice of eternal, conscious damnation in
the lake of fire.On Wed, 24 Dec 2025 10:26:41 -0600, Christ Rose <usenet@christrose.news> wrote:
