• Certain Verses From Isaiah 53 Are Used To Advance
  The Notion Of The Imputation Of Sins To Christ
• The passage quoted above, together with the
  verses from Isaiah, indicate that it was God the
  Father who put our sins on Christ. How could that
  be? In the same way in which Adams sins were
  imputed to us, so God imputed our sins to Christ
  that is, he thought of them as belonging to
  Christ, and, since God is the ultimate judge and
  definer of what really is in the universe, when
  God thought of our sins as belonging to Christ
  then in fact they actually did belong to Christ.

• The Doctrine Says That Responsibility For Mans
  Sin Was Literally Transferred To Christ
• II. Imputation of the Sin of Man to Christ. In
  contrast to the imputation of Adams sin to the
  race, often considered a real imputation, the
  imputation of the sin of man to Christ is
  considered judicial, and related to the death of
  Christ on the cross. Christ hath borne our
  griefs, and carried our sorrows . . . But he was
  wounded for our transgressions . . . the Lord
  hath laid on him the iniquity of us all (Isaiah
  534-6). .... Though the word impute is not
  actually used to express this idea in the NT, the
  idea is clearly stated in other words. Bakers
  Dictionary of Theology, page 282.

• The View Is Calvinistic
• Some Choose To Reject The Notion Of Imputation
  Of Adams Sin To Man (Inherited Depravity), But
  Accept The Notion Of Imputation Of Mans Sin To
  Christ
• However, The Two Concepts Are Connected
• Both Views Are Equally Wrong, For Both Views
  Reject Personal Responsibility And Accountability
  For Sin

• Sabal Is A Synonym Of Nasa - Inspired
  Commentary In Matthew 816-17
• And when even was come, they brought unto him
  many possessed with demons and he cast out the
  spirits with a word, and healed all that were
  sick that it might be fulfilled which was spoken
  through Isaiah the prophet, saying Himself took
  our infirmities, and bare our diseases.
• OBSERVE Jesus Did Not Have Demons, Leprosy,
  Blindness Or Sickness Transferred To Him By
  Taking Or Bearing These Conditions - He Took
  Them AWAY

• Hebrews 926 28 Inspired Commentary

Hebrews 926 ..else must he often have suffered
since the foundation of the world but now once
at the end of the ages hath he been manifested to
put away (athetesin) sin by the sacrifice of
himself.
Hebrews 928 ..so Christ also, having been once
offered to bear (anaphero) the sins of many,
shall appear a second time, apart from sin, to
them that wait for him, unto salvation.

• 26 - Jesus Died To Put Away (Remove) Sin
• 28 - Jesus Died To Bear (Take Away) Sin
• Conclusion Jesus Bore Our Sins In The Sense
  That He Took Them Away - No Transference Of Sins
  To Himself!

• Bear In Hebrews 727 928 1 Peter 224

Hebrews 727 ..who needeth not daily, like those
high priests, to offer up (anaphero) sacrifices,
first for his own sins, and then for the sins of
the people for this he did once for all, when he
offered up (anaphero) himself. Hebrews 727.

• Remember Anaphero Also Used In Hebrews 928
  (Bear The Sins Of Many) And 1 Peter 224 (Bore
  Our Sins)
• If Bear Means Substitution, Then Was The High
  Priest A Substitute? For Himself?
