  with each other. They exchange the truth about
  God for a lie they worship and serve what God
  has created instead of the Creator himself, who
  is to be praised forever! Amen. Because they do
  this, God has given them over to shameful
  passions.Because those people refuse to keep in
  mind the true knowledge about God, he has given
  them over to corrupted minds, so that they do the
  things that they should not do. (Romans
  122-26,28)

How are Jesus words usually understood?

• Jesus took on the sins of the world
• God cant look on sin so he turned his back on
  Jesus
• Jesus took Gods wrath which should have been
  poured out on us
• Meaning Gods wrath is externally imposed as a
  punishment for sin it is a legal balancing of
  the books

22
What does Gods wrath mean in the Bible?

• God respecting the choice of his rebellious
  children by giving up handing over
  abandoning them to their free-will choice
• In every case, the consequences are natural, not
  imposed

23

• He was hated and rejected his life was filled
  with sorrow and terrible suffering. No one wanted
  to look at him. We despised him and said, He is
  a nobody! He suffered and endured great pain for
  us, but we thought his suffering was punishment
  from God. He was wounded and crushed because of
  our sins by taking our punishment, he made us
  completely well. (Isaiah 531-5 CEV)

24

• God You must not eat the fruit of that tree if
  you do, you will die the same day. (Genesis
  217)
• Satan Thats not true you will not die.
  (Genesis 34)

25

• What is the sin?
• Sin is a breaking of the law. (1 John 34
  GNB) A-nomia
• Sin is lawlessness (NASB, ESV, NRSV, TNIV)
  Sin is a major disruption of Gods order.
  (Message)
• Anything that is not based on faith is sin.
  (Romans 1423)
• For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no
  sin. (2 Corinthians 521)

26

• They will throw them into the fiery furnace,
  where there will be weeping and gnashing of
  teeth. (Matthew 1342)
• The heirs of the kingdom will be thrown into the
  outer darkness, where there will be weeping and
  gnashing of teeth. (Matthew 812)

27

• We are not to regard God as waiting to punish
  the sinner for his sin. The sinner brings the
  punishment upon himself. His own actions start a
  train of circumstances that bring the sure
  result. Every act of transgression reacts upon
  the sinner, works in him a change of character,
  and makes it more easy for him to transgress
  again. By choosing to sin, men separate
  themselves from God, cut themselves off from the
  channel of blessing, and the sure result is ruin
  and death. 1888
