ABS submits job application for CRSW Level 1 professional position
ABS was looking for some extra money (He is retired) and as he was driving by some protestant buildings (Protestants have buildings, Catholics have churches) he was amused at this sign which clearly indicates the spiritually-lifeless-no-Holy -Orders-Minister working here has no self awareness:
Unless you eat my Body and drink my Blood, you have no life in you
In any event, ABS decided to go online and submit an application for a job as a CRSW Level 1 Professional - a Clever Religious Sign Writer and when he got to the part where it solicited an idea sample, ABS wrote this for his first sample:
If you think you're bad, Jesus became sin for us *
Sunday, a perfect time to hang-out with Jesus and other sinners. See ya!!!
* Incredibly enough, prots take this literally whereas they take Eat my body symbolically
2 Corinth 5; 21. Him, who knew no sin, he hath made sin for us: that we might be made the justice of God in him.
The great Commentary of Cornelius a Lapide could correct their error but the prots prefer the personal opinions of their heretical progenitors.
Ver. 21.—Him who knew no sin. Experimentally, says S. Thomas, Christ knew no sin, though by simple knowledge He did, for He did no sin.
Hath made Him to be sin for us. For us, says Illyricus, who were sin; because, he says, sin is the substance and form of our soul. But to say this of ourselves is folly, of Christ blasphemy. (1.) The meaning is that God made Christ to be the victim offered for our sin, to prevent us from atoning for our sins by eternal death and fire. The Apostle plays on the word sin, for when he says, “Him who knew no sin,” he means sin strictly speaking; but when he says, “He made Him to be sin for us,” he employs a metonymy. So Ambrose, Theophylact, and Anselm. In Ps. xl. 12, Christ calls our sins His. (2.) Sin here denotes, says S. Thomas, the likeness of sinful flesh which He took, that He might be passible, just as sinners who are descended from Adam are liable to suffering. (3.) Sin, in the sense of being regarded by men as a noteworthy sinner, and being crucified as a malefactor. So the Greek Fathers.
Of these three interpretations the first is the more full, significant, and vigorous, and the one more consonant with the usage of Scripture, which frequently speaks of an expiatory victim as sin. Cf. Hosea iv. 8; Lev. iv. 24 and 21; Ezek. xliv. 29. The reason of this metonymy is that all the punishment and guilt of the sin were transferred to the expiatory victim, and so the sin itself might seem to be also transferred to it. In token of this the priest was accustomed to lay his hands on the victim, and call down on it the sins of the people; for by the hands are signified sinful actions, which are for the most part executed by the hands, as Theodoret says in his notes on Leviticus i. Therefore the laying of hands on the victim was both a symbol of oblation and a testimony of the transference of guilt to the victim, showing that it was expiatory, and that it bore the sin itself, with all its burden of guilt and punishment. In this way the high-priest on the great Day of Atonement turned a goat into the wilderness, having imprecated on it the sins of the whole people. Cf. Lev. xvi. 20.
The second entry was
Jesus became sin and He was poultry * so even if you are a dumb cluck, you are welcome here.
* Luke 13:34
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent to thee, how often would I have gathered thy children as the bird doth her brood under her wings, and thou wouldest not?
ABS has not heard back yet, but like the eyes of Ben Turpin, ABS is keeping this fingers crossed.
