Easter week? Isn't that of pagan origins?
God meted out punishment on Jesus while Jesus was on the cross? Really? I thought it was the Romans and the Pharisees that condemned Jesus to death. I thought it was our sins that placed Christ on the cross, not God. The "wrath" of God is letting sinners go (Romans 1:18-26). Jesus was made to be sin for us. It's really a shame when people miss the healing, redemptive work of God through Christ was motivated by love and not "wrath."

@philstilwell There are a great many results, clarification please? Maybe just PM me and we can discuss this.

That is certainly what the bible claims. It's wrong.
Google "reasons for my deconversion" to discover the truth about my "anguish".
Connor Richards
@philstilwell But Jesus conquered to sin, and took everyone's upon himself at once. Your anguish comes from an inability to conquer it without help, so accept Jesus's help.

So what isnthe commenter below, philstilwell, is trying to say? Reeally vague
Phil Stilwell
Let me elaborate. The 3 hours that god poured out his wrath could have been 4 hours and was therefore not infinite. Our "deserved" punishment of eternal damnation is infinite.
Phil Stilwell
So you can redefine god as being able to experience pain (a heresy?), but your equation still does not add up since the anguish of Jesus was not eternal.
(Jesus' anguish * divine intensifier) = (eternal anguish)?
I don't think so.
Phil Stilwell
Our anguish for our sin will be eternal. The anguish Jesus experienced was not eternal. It was for 3 days.

Here is a weird question. Jehovahs witnesses believe really strange things about what it means that Jesus died and where exactly he was.
