Christians Use of Jesus
Being Called The Lamb Of God And Him Taking Away The Sins Of The World
By
Bassam Zawadi
Christians use the following verse...
John 1:29
The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Look, the Lamb of God,
who takes away the sin of the world!
to show that Jesus came to be a sacrifice for the sins of the
world. They try to use this verse to show this doctrine in the Gospel. My contention is
that there is no clear teaching of Christian doctrine regarding the crucifixion of Jesus
for the sins of the world in this Gospel. Well the truth is that there is no clear
teaching of Jesus in the entire four Gospels in which he states that he has come to die
for the sins of the world. This is the teachings of Paul and Christians misinterpret and
twist Jesus' statements in order to conform to Paul's teachings.
This verse is not clear as well and could mean something
else.
As for Jesus being called the Lamb of God, well that does not
automatically have to mean that Jesus was going to be sacrificed just like a lamb is. It
could have other meanings...
he calls him a "lamb," either with respect to any lamb in common, for his
harmlessness and innocence; for his meekness and humility; for his patience; and for his
usefulness, both for food and clothing, in a spiritual sense;

Jesus also refers to his disciples as lambs...
Luke 10:3
Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves.
The commentary...
2. They must set out with an expectation of trouble and persecution:
"Behold, I
send you forth as lambs among wolves; but
go your ways, and resolve to make the
best of it. Your enemies will be as
wolves, bloody and cruel, and ready to pull you
to pieces; in their threatenings and revilings, they will be as
howling wolves to
terrify
you; in their persecutions of you, they will be as
ravening wolves to
tear
you. But you must be as
lambs, peaceable and patient, though made an
easy prey of." It would have been very hard thus to be sent forth as
sheep among
wolves, if he had not endued them with his spirit and courage

So as we see, Jesus being called a lamb could be spiritual for
having some of the characteristics and features of a lamb.
As for Jesus "taking away" the sin of the world...
'Taking away' is airo. (Source)
One of the meanings could be...
cause to cease

So it could mean that Jesus came to stop the sins of the world
and not necessarily mean to take it upon himself. This is the task of Prophets, for them
to come down and spread the message of God in order to make them aware of their faults and
sins and to help them stop committing them.
Conclusion
It is completely justifiable to say that
it is possible that John 1:29 means that Jesus who is humble and patient like a lamb came
to spread the message of God and be a warner to people in order to stop people from
committing sins. It is possible. Therefore, Christians cannot use this verse as a clear
and explicit teaching of the doctrine of the crucifixion of Jesus for the sins of the
world.

Most of the Bible's books and gospels were written by mysterious people!
Jesus mentioned Muhammad by the name in the Bible.
Did
Isaiah 53 really prophesies about the crucifixion of Jesus? It supports Islam's
claims about Jesus peace be upon him never died on the cross. I also addressed John
19:36-37 from the Bible and proved that Jesus never got crucified, since GOD Almighty
promised that he will protect Jesus' body and not let even a single bone be broken.
My question to all Christians is: How in the world is
it possible for the feet to get nailed on the cross without any penetration to the bones
by the nails, hence breaking part of the feet's bones?! I
also added refutations to Exodus 12:46, Numbers 9:12,
Zechariah 12:10 and Psalm 34:20, which supposedly prove the Christians' belief
about Jesus crucifixion. I proved that this dogma has no truth what so ever and
exposed the wrong Trinitarian English translation of Zechariah
12:10.
