A Gospel Enigma: John 3:16 is not about blood for sin. Where is the Sacrifice part of that verse?

Question

John 3:16 is usually quoted to show that the word "gave" means sacrifice for sins. But looking at the context of that verse, it's all about the Spirit of God and the Light of God. Not a thing about sacrifice.

Jesus said why he came.. Luke 4:43, and that was to preach his Kingdom Gospel... (he spoke about the kingdom over 30 times and not a thing about blood for sin)

So why are theologians not picking up the actual context of John 3:16? It's about the Spirit and Light of God, not blood for sin.

Source and complete context for this question: http://gospelenigma.com The enigma is all the little puzzling questions that come up when the Original Kingdom Gospel is replace by Paul's blood for sin gospel.

Answer 1

Phillipians 2:6-8

who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men.

Isaiah 53:10

Yet it pleased Yahweh to bruise Him; he has put Him to grief. When You make His being an offering for sin, he shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, and the pleasure of Yahweh shall prosper in His hand.



Hebrews 9:25-28

not that He should offer Himself often, as the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood of another--He then would have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now, once at the end of the ages, He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, so Messiah was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.



Hebrews 10:12

But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of Yahweh,

For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Messiah died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures,

Answer 3

Paul didn't have a "blood for sin" gospel. I suggest you study Eastern Orthodox theology - All of your "gospel enigma" questions hint at the theology of the world's second largest Christian denomination (not exactly a secret).
