Who can claim to hold the answers
To each Bible mystery?
Some will swear to revelation
While others ponder points these see.
There are many different theories
About the death of Jesus Christ.
I always search the Scriptures
Because the Scriptures will suffice.
Did the God-Man became literal sin?
Did the Lord die spiritually?
Was He actually born again in Hell
To set the sinner free?
Tell me, did the Lord God change
His own identity?
Did He take on the very nature
Of His vilest enemy?
Become unregenerate and soiled
Because that’s what it would take?
Have a wrestling match with Satan
All for salvation’s sake?
Three words rebuke this theory!
Three words call it untrue!!
The Lord said "IT IS FINISHED"
There remained NO MORE to do!

Through the Word of God we see the Lamb offered
as a sin offering rather than the sinner being offered.
Jesus became the sin offering but He was no sinner
and did not die spiritually and become unregenerate. The Word
plainly states His body (not His Spirit) was offered to God as a payment
for sins. Jesus was WITHOUT SPOT spiritually...He was the
PERFECT LAMB! Since the lamb had to be spotless and without
blemish...God's requirement...if Jesus had become literal sin
He couldn't have been the sin offering. His body...like the lamb's
body...was the offering for sin. The little lamb used for the
offering was innocent of any sin...and so was Jesus. Yes, God
was dead for three days...but in His body only!! His FLESH,
which was used as a substitute for sin. did die and
was buried...and He did decend into Hell...but not to be
held captive there by Satan and have to wrestle away the
keys of Hell and the Grave from him...those were taken on
The Cross!!! Did Jesus have to die in order to enter Hell?
God is EVERYWHERE at all times...Heaven, Hell, the earth,
under the earth. Jesus was NOT unregenerate while there...
He preached...unregenerate spirits don't preach! And He led the
captives (Noah, Abraham, etc) out of there, after the three days
were up, and transported them to Heaven. . Hallelujah!! It is
His BLOOD...that precious blood that was shed from that
marred beyond recognition flesh that washes away our sins!
If you'rein doubt about this, pray for God to show you the truth.
I can'texplain this as well as God could.

Leviticus 4:22-25
New King James Version (NKJV)
‘When a ruler has sinned, and done something unintentionally against any of the commandments of the Lord his God in anything
which should not be done, and is guilty, or if his sin which
he has committed comes to his knowledge, he shall bring
as his offering a kid of the goats, a malewithout blemish.
And he shall lay his hand on the head of the goat, and kill it
at the place where they kill the burnt offering before the Lord.
It is a sin offering. The priest shall take some of the blood of the sin
offering with his finger, put it on the horns of the altar
of burnt offering, and pour its blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering.
