DID PETER PREACH THAT CHRIST DIED FOR OUR SINS? OF COURSE HE DID! Pastor Art Watkins of Coden Bible Church (Coden, Alabama) December 9, 2015 Some of the posts I read on Facebook never cease to amaze me. I just read a post written by man who has been preaching for over 35 years who wrote that Peter did not preach that Christ died for our sins. He said; no one can show where Peter ever preached that Christ died for our sins. I was so amazed that I had to read it twice. But that’s what he said. How could a man who has been preaching for over 35 years make such a dumb statement? What is even worse is that a number of people agreed with him and said he was “preaching the truth”. Here are 3 verses that prove beyond a shadow of doubt that Peter preached the death and shed blood of Christ for our sins. Read them and see for yourself. 1 Peter 3:18: For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: 1 Peter 2:24: Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. 1 Peter 1:18-19: Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: After reading these verses ask yourself this question; How could a man who has been preaching for over 35 years say that Peter did not preach that Christ died for our sins? I will tell you why; He bought into the false doctrines of hyper dispensationalism that says that only Paul preached the cross for salvation. This is a example of how it blinds people’s minds from seeing the truth and forces them to deny what the Bible plainly says. I once bought into this doctrine myself but God in mercy saved me out of it.
