This whole twitter & #39;theological hot take& #39; that Jesus didn& #39;t die for sin is stupid. Believe it if you want, but don& #39;t call yourself Christian. The earlier pre-Pauline proto-creedal confession we have is "Christ died for sin ὑπὲρ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ἡμῶν" (1 Cor: 15:3-4.

ὑπὲρ is a marker of cause or reason denoting & #39;for,& #39; & #39;for the sake of,& #39; or & #39;on behalf of& #39;

NT scholarship has pretty conclusively recognized that Paul& #39;s "I received" and "I past on" marks this with a proto-creedal quality that predates Paul, probably into early 40s or even 30s.

You can be all "we& #39;re cool 21th century & #39;Christian& #39; and we know Jesus didn& #39;t die FOR sins"... at best your rehashing 20th century liberalism and maybe rebranding it with some new theological models.

Your theological models may be fine & dandy. But if they undo a proto-creed & you think they are more authentically Christian, you& #39;re doing it wrong.

You think you know better than literally every person claiming Christ as Savior since the beginning. Sorry, that& #39;s not Christian.

And for all the post-modern talk about "community" and "doing theology in community" and "listening to the voices of the past/diverse communities" is hogwash when THEE common confession of all the communities from the beginning gets thrown out.

It& #39;s just punk arrogance.
Sorry.
