Question

In Gal 3:13, it says that Jesus is a Curse, do you agree?

Christians, why dont ya go around sayin my god is a curse?

If "The verse doesn't say he is a curse, but it says he became a curse" SO, WHAT? HE IS STILL A CURSE ACCORDING TO THIS FKKING VERSE

TO THOSE WHO ARE JUSTIFYING WHAT THE FUKKING VERSE IS SAYING, FUC|< YOU ALL

TO THOSE WHO ARE JUSTIFYING WHAT THE FUKKING VERSE IS SAYING, FUC|< YOU ALL, FOR JESUS IS NOT A CURSE, NOR SHOULD BE CALLED LIKE THAT, YOU FUCl

Answer 1

It was probably Paul's personal opinion.

Answer 2

The scripture you quoted does not say Jesus is a curse but that he became the curse and died so to kill the curse. He then rose from that grave and left the curse there.

Secondly I'd like to answer the person who wrote this, "Although this debate may not be evident from publications
readily found in popular bookstores, when one examines
this issue closely, one will find a tremendous volume of
literature that demonstrates, logically and intelligently,
time and again that Jesus Christ is a mythological
character along the same lines as the Greek, Roman,
Egyptian, Sumerian, Phoenician, Indian or other godmen,
who are all presently accepted as myths rather than
historical figures. Delving deeply into this large body of
work, one uncovers evidence that the Jesus character is
based upon much older myths and heroes from around
the globe. One discovers that this story is not, therefore, a
historical representation of a Jewish rebel carpenter who
had physical incarnation in the Levant 2,000 years ago. In
other words, it has been demonstrated continually for
centuries that this character, Jesus Christ, was invented
and did not depict a real person who was either the "son
of God" or was "evemeristically" made into a superhuman
by enthusiastic followers."

To begin, hundreds of historians from Josephus to Pliny have affirmed the existence and execution of Yeshua ben Joseph under Pontius Pilate in the Roman province of Judea. I quote, Annas high priest of Israel "assembled the snhedrim of the judges, and brought before them the brother of Jesus, who is called Christ, whose name was James." -Josephus, Antiquities of the Jews. Josephus was an orthodox Jew and had no reason to propogate the Christian religion. All those 'enthusiastic followers' with one possible exception, who supposedly fabricated this lie, were brutally tortured before being executed. To quote an undisputed article from Wikipedia, "As the Gospels were not written immediately after his death and there is little external documentation, a small minority of scholars question the historical existence of Jesus." Lastly, I ask honestly and without mockery for the definition of the word 'evemeristically'.

Although this debate may not be evident from publications
readily found in popular bookstores1, when one examines
this issue closely, one will find a tremendous volume of
literature that demonstrates, logically and intelligently,
time and again that Jesus Christ is a mythological
character along the same lines as the Greek, Roman,
Egyptian, Sumerian, Phoenician, Indian or other godmen,
who are all presently accepted as myths rather than
historical figures2. Delving deeply into this large body of
work, one uncovers evidence that the Jesus character is
based upon much older myths and heroes from around
the globe. One discovers that this story is not, therefore, a
historical representation of a Jewish rebel carpenter who

Answer 4

No, I do not agree. Christ was not a curse. The scripture says that he became a curse.That just means that he was hung on a Curse( the cross) Christ was taken down from the tree the same day he was killed. Therefore he was not cursed by God. Check Deuteronomy 21:23.

Answer 5

You might want to get the WHOLE context before nitpicking :

Gal 3:11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
Gal 3:12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
Gal 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
Gal 3:14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Gal 3:15 Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.


From the KJV, it looks like those who are condemned (hang from a tree) are cursed. Jesus committed no sin and yet chose to hang from the tree for us who truly deserve it. Is He as curse? No. He took our curse of condemnation when He had no sin. You are looking at a metaphoric part of scripture....although I"m sure there are those who would twist it for their own selfish ways.

Answer 6

No - you're reading it out of context. Jesus is not a curse - he was "cursed" for anyone who is hung on a tree is cursed. Jesus became cursed in the effect of taking all the world's sins upon himself..., not that he himself ever done anything wrong.

This is the means of redeeming souls from sin under the law, a sacrificial lamb - the last sacrifice needed to make a way for all of sinful mankind to have salvation. But they must accept it and the terms of contract (will, agreement or testament).

Answer 7

In order to reconcile with man God chose to become human and suffer death on the cross. It is hard to save someone unless you get on their level and "walk in their shoes". So, yes He became cursed in order to save us from the curse we became.

Try this translation;

Galatians 3:13 (The Message)

Christ redeemed us from that self-defeating, cursed life by absorbing it completely into himself. Do you remember the Scripture that says, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree"? That is what happened when Jesus was nailed to the cross: He became a curse, and at the same time dissolved the curse. And now, because of that, the air is cleared and we can see that Abraham's blessing is present and available for non-Jews, too. We are all able to receive God's life, his Spirit, in and with us by believing—just the way Abraham received it.

Answer 8

Is this a better translation for you?

Galatians 3:13 (Contemporary English Version)

Contemporary English Version (CEV)
Copyright © 1995 by American Bible Society


But Christ rescued us from the Law's curse, when he became a curse in our place. This is because the Scriptures say that anyone who is nailed to a tree is under a curse.

Answer 9

No I don't agree. But thanks for making me open my Bible to read what it really says. If you are going to open the Bible take some time to read more than just a few words. I would go further in explaining this chapter but I think that has already been done many times over so that I can't contribute further except in saying that you should go back and read the whole chapter. You should get a study Bible. In my Study Bible it gives references to every location in the Bible where any particular subject is discussed. All I have to do is look up the word that I want to study in the back and it gives all the locations in the Bible where that word occurs. There has been a lot of work done in efforts to help people understand all you have to do is go get a good study Bible. I hope this helps.

Answer 10

You're mistaken.
It doesn't say He "IS" a curse; it says He "became" a curse...for us. That means you & me.
After He paid the penalty for becoming your curse...of death, and my curse of death; He sprinkled His own blood on the mercy seat...& in doing so, we now have access to the mercy of G-d.
If Jesus was still a curse when He sprinkled His blood, His offering would not have been accepted by G-d because only a spotless lamb could be offered.
But, in all this...it's nice to know you're diligently searching the Scriptures. I think you're a closet Christian!

Answer 11

The Curse was the Law, that said Cursed was any one hanged on a tree,
Jesus showed us his hanging on a tree was not a Curse. Read on
