He did not say he was dying for anyone's sins, he did say he was going to die and rise the third day in fulfilment of scripture. That scripture said he would bare the sin of many.Um where did Jesus state in his own words that he was dying for anyone's sins? You can't use Paul, I said Jesus. Good luck...
From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day. Mathew 16:21
And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: Luke 24:46
That is OT scripture like in Isaiah 53 for one:
5But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities...
6... and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
8...for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
10...when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin,...
11...by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
12...because he hath poured out his soul unto death:... and he bare the sin of many...
He also said that if he be lifted up (which most agree on the cross) he would draw all men to him, and as moses lifted up the serpent (and the people looked to it and were saved) so would he be lifted up. Thing is, I believe the WHOLE Bible, the WHOLE council of God and it says Jesus bought us with his blood and that's good enough for me. Look, I trust him, I plan on going to Heaven with him. If others don't believe, that's fine with me, but as for me, brother, I believe!
Mark 15:27-28
And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left. And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors.
Isaiah 53:12...because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many,
Look at the two verses above in red. You see how the scripture was fulfilled, and, not only was he numbered with the transgressors, he bare the sin of many. It was clear to those who wrote the Bible as it is clear to me and to many Christians throughout the ages, Christ paid for our sins. Praise the Lord!
