SERIOUS ERRORS CONCERNING
THE WORK OF CHRIST ON THE CROSS
1 Corinthians 2:2 - For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.
Galatians 6:14 - But may it never be that I would boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
Many Christians believe that the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ are the most important events in human history. It makes sense that the enemy would try to distort the truth and the beauty of the cross and corrupt its meaning. The Scripture is clear regarding the fact the the Father was pleased with Jesus on the cross.
John 8:29 - And he who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.
Ephesians 5:2 - And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
The Scripture is perfectly clear that Jesus was the Spotless, Sinless Lamb of God who died upon the cross. Any teacher who portrays Jesus as a sinner, filthy, or impure is rejecting the truth of God's Word.
1 Peter 1:19 but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.
Hebrews 9:14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God.
Below are some comments and clips about the cross of Jesus Christ that turn the beauty of the cross into something the Scripture never portrays. These comments also attack the purity of the Savior, as well as the unity of One God in Three Persons. It is dishonoring to God, and it is an attack upon God and Jesus Christ. This page will be updated as more clips/quotes are found to warn against those who spread such lies.
Abner Chou, President of the Master's University and Seminary
“In that death the wrath of God was poured out on Christ, and the darkness exploded. In that instant God cursed Jesus, putting Him in a position of absolute, perfect hatred. God hated Him and desired to make Him nothing.”
Lecture given by Dr. Abner Chou in the Spring of 2012
Martin Luther, Famous Reformer (1483-1546)
[Christ] comes to be a sinner as Isaiah 53 [:6] says: “The Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.” For since we (the prophet says) “all like sheep have gone astray” [Isa. 53:6], God found this remedy: He took the sins of all human beings and hung them all around the neck of Him who alone was without sin. He thus becomes a great sinner—indeed, the greatest sinner of all and the only sinner on earth—so that there is no other. For the text says that the Lord has laid on Him the sins of us all.
Excerpted from Luther’s Works, vol. 58, pages 44–45

Article by Rick Gamache:
Then Jesus is startled by a foul odor. It isn’t the stench of open wounds. It’s something else. And it crawls inside him. He looks up to his Father. His Father looks back, but Jesus doesn’t recognize these eyes. They pierce the invisible world with fire and darken the visible sky. And Jesus feels dirty. He hangs between earth and heaven filthy with human discharge on the outside and, now, filthy with human wickedness on the inside.
The Father speaks:
Son of Man! Why have you sinned against me and heaped scorn on my great glory?
You are self-sufficient and self-righteous — consumed with yourself and puffed up and selfishly ambitious.
You rob me of my glory and worship what’s inside of you instead of looking out to the One who created you.
You are a greedy, lazy, gluttonous slanderer and gossip...
You are a false prophet leading people astray.
You mock your parents.
You have no self-control.
You are a betrayer who stirs up division and factions.
You’re a drunkard and a thief.
You’re an anxious coward.
You do not trust me.
You blaspheme against me.
You are an un-submissive wife.
And you are a lazy, disengaged husband.
You file for divorce and crush the parable of my love for the church.
You’re a pimp and a drug dealer...

Here’s the second miracle. I call it the miracle of sovereign departure. It is a miracle, you see. It’s a miracle in reverse, in a sense. It’s a strange kind of miracle, but it’s a miracle in the sense that it is a supernatural, inexplicable event that is beyond the capacity of human understanding, for God is separated from God.
