After months and much unrest of dealing with this verse of scripture, 2Cor 5:21 I must say I was wrong in my understanding of " Christ Made Sin". This is a very tricky verse when you study the original Hebrew and know that the words " to be " were not in there. You combine that with what outwardly appears to be a 2nd witness Galations 4:4 " Made of a Women, Made under the Law, if not careful, you can and will close your eyes and ears to further investigation and become " Spritually Lazy ".
I re-listened to Ray's article Christ made sin and what I missed the first time is when Ray talks about our " Flesh" in and of itself ( bones, hair, blood, skin, ect) not being sin, that I agree with. Hebrews Chapter 10 is entirely about " Offerings " . Now here was the key verses that really " Opened the heavens" so to speak, Chapter 10 verses 12-14. " But this man after he had offered ( offering) one " Sacrifice " (not sin) for sins forever. It was a sacrifice or better yet sin offering, and the 2nd witness is just 2 verses later in verse 14, For by one " Offering ", there it is. In my old belief, that scripture would have to read " For by one " SIN " he has perfected those forever those who are being sanctified.
God led me to another verse that proves that point also, it's Hebrews 13:11-12 " For the (bodies) of those animals whose blood was is brought into the the sanctuary by the high priest for sin (sin Offering) are burned outside the gate. Verse 12 Therefore Jesus ( ALSO) that he might sanctify the people with his own blood ( Sin Offering) suffered outside the gate. Oh well, when you're wrong you're wrong. Won't be the last time for me, but I repent and press on.
