Originally posted by Hand of Hecatei am not quite sure what you mean, for the post was made with reference to your original post which i thought was true, for if we were not inherently sinful then yes, there would have been no need for Christ to have died, for his sacrifice was a propitiatory one in that it covered our sins, never the less, its not an inducement to sin, as the verse in Hebrews that was posted shows, for if we practice sin wilfully, of what merit is Christ's sacrifice to us? for we would be treating it with contempt.
That's a grey area.

The 'If' in the title is a MIGHTY big 'If'.

And Pontius Pilate had said he washes his hands from such this desire, then gave it to them.
God just knew it would take place.

How can I even make sense of this?
