Test All Things

'The righteousness of God was made to be sin. He accepted the sin nature of Satan in His own spirit. And at the moment that he did so he cried "My God my God why has thou forsaken me." You don't know what happened at the cross. Why do you think Moses, upon the instruction of God, raised the serpent upon that pole instead of a Lamb? That used to bug me. I said, "why in the world would you want to put a snake up there the sign of Satan? Why didn't you put a lamb on that pole ?" and the Lord said, "Because it was the sign of Satan that was hanging on the cross." He (Jesus) said "I accepted in my own spirit, spiritual, death; and the light was turned off." {Copeland, "What happened from the cross to the throne?"} (cassette tape) [Audio]
"El justo de Dios fue hecho para ser pecado. El aceptó la naturaleza de pecado de Satanás en Su propio Espíritu. Y en el momento en que eso sucedió. El clamó, "Mi Dios, Mi Dios, ¿por qué me has abandonado?" Usted no sabe qué paso en la cruz. ¿Qué es lo que piensa usted acerca de Moisés, quien por instrucciones de Dios, levantó una serpiente sobre la vara en lugar de un cordero? Eso siempre me ha intrigado. Yo dije, "¿Por qué razón tú tuviste que colocar una serpiente ahí, que es el símbolo de Satanás? ¿Por qué no colocaste un cordero en esa vara? Y el Señor dijo: "Porque fue el signo de Satanás el que estaba colgado en la cruz". El dijo: "Así lo acepté Yo, en Mi propio Espíritu, la muerte espiritual; y la luz se extinguió".

"Why did he need to be begotten, or born?. Because he became like we were, separated from God. Because he tasted spiritual death for every man And His spirit and inner man went to Hell in my place, can't you see that physical death wouldn't remove your sins, he's tasted death for every man, he's talking about spiritual death. Jesus is the first person that was ever born again. Why did his spirit need to be born again? Because it was estranged from God."{Kenneth Hagin, "How Jesus obtained His Name" Tape 44H01} [Audio]
"Por qué necesitaba serlo, o nacer?. Porque se puso como lo fuimos, separado de Dios. Porque experimentó la muerte espiritual para cada hombre y su espíritu y hombre interior fue a infierno en mi lugar, no puede usted ve que la muerte física no quitara sus pecados, ha experimentado la muerte para cada hombre, está hablando de la muerte espiritual. Jesus es la primera persona que nació de nuevo. ¿Por qué necesitaba su espíritu nacer de nuevo? Porque estaba separado del Dios."

"Ladies and gentlemen, the serpent is a symbol of Satan. Jesus Christ knew The only way he would stop Satan is by becoming one in nature with him. You Say. "What did you say? What blasphemy is this?" No you hear this. He did Not take my sin, he became my sin. Sin is the nature of Hell. Sin is what made Satan. You remember? He wasn't Satan till sin was found in him. Lucifer was perfect till Ezekiel says, "sin was found in thee." It was sin that made Satan. Jesus said." I'll be sin. I'll go to the lowest place! I'll go to the origin of it! I won't just take part in it - I'll be the totality of it" when Jesus became sin, Sir he took it from A to Z and said, "no more!" think about this: He became flesh. That flesh might become like him. He became death, so that dying man can live. He became sin, so sinners can be righteous in him. He became one with the nature of Satan, so all those who had the nature of Satan can partake of the nature of God." {Benny Hinn on TBN December 15, 1990} [Audio]
"Señoras y señores, la serpiente es un símbolo de Satanás. Jesucristo sabía que el único camino para que El detuviera a Satanás era el de convertirse en una naturaleza con él. Usted dice, ¿Qué es lo que está diciendo usted? No, ya usted lo ha oído. El no tomó mi pecado. El se hizo mi pecado. El pecado es la naturaleza del infierno. El pecado hizo a Satanás ... Eso fue lo que hizo a Satanás, el pecado. Jesús dijo: "Yo seré el pecado. ¡Yo iré a los más profundos lugares! ¡Yo voy hacia el origen del pecado! Yo no voy a ser simplemente una parte del pecado. ¡Yo voy a ser la totalidad del pecado! Cuando Jesús se hizo pecado, mi amigo. El lo tomó de la A a la Z, y dijo: "¡No más!" Piense acerca de esto, El se hizo carne, para que la carne pudiera llegar a ser como El. El se hizo muerte, para que el hombre mortal pudiera vivir. El se hizo pecado, para que los pecadores pudieran ser justos delante de El. El se hizo de la naturaleza de Satanás, para que aquellos que tenían la la naturaleza de Satanás pudieran participar de la naturaleza de Dios".

"The thing that redeemed us was not Jesus being nailed to the cross. His spirit and soul went in to Hades. and he walked through the door of Hades, satan was seated on his throne with a sickening grin on his face, his lip twisted in grotesque triumph and all the imps of hell were dancing a jig. And the word came, "We got him now! We defeated the plan of God!" and the devil was sitting there saying "I told you, if you'd follow me, I'd lead you to victory! We got Him now." And they wrapped their grimy hands and the chains of hell itself around Jesus and they confined Him to one of the cells in the Hades section of the underworld. And then satan and his demon hosts went on a three-day drunk. They thought they had Him, they had defeated and thwarted the plan of Almighty God and Jesus sat there as it were, immobile, not saying a word, not doing anything, except serving our sentence! {Frederick K.C.Price "Identification" } [Audio]
