Jesus as the ransom?
L'article analyse la notion de rançon dans la Bible et réfute les contradictions apparentes. Il différencie les usages du terme entre le Nouveau et l'Ancien Testament, soulignant leur complémentarité. Jésus offre sa vie en rançon pour tous, tandis que Proverbes exprime un principe moral de protection des justes.
Isaiah 53.10-12 (King James Version) :Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.Notethou…: or, his soul shall make an offeringHe shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org
