the one God, which is a mystery. So He did not lie (John 16:32) nor change (Mat
               12:25, Mark 3:24, Luke 11:18) both of which are impossible for God (Mal 3:6,
               John 1:14, 14:6, Tit 1:2). Jesus is God (John 20:28). God was simultaneously
               rejecting sin and yet had made himself sin, in order to overcome it (2 Cor 5:21)
               thus not compromising His nature one jot. He was still the perfect God, God the
               Son, (2 Cor 5:20) which is a mystery. Jesus took our sins (Isaiah 53:4-5, 11), made
               Himself sin (2 Cor 5:21) and remained perfect (Heb 5:9, 9:14) and without sin (2
               Cor 5:21).  This is a mystery. Christ became sin for us without being a sinner (2
               Cor 5:21) which is another mystery. Jesus was without sin despite disobeying the
               Law (Ex 20:10, Mark 2:26-28, Luke 6:5, 9, 13:15-16, John 5:8, 17-18, 7:21, 23)
               thus setting the Holy precedent that was later to be enacted and fulfilled of
               Christians not being under the Law (Rom 10:4). When Jesus became sin he took on
               the sin of being under the Law (Gen 2:17) and then failing to keep all of it (Jam
               2:10). Jesus did do work on the Sabbath (John 7:21, 23) and thus clearly disobeyed
               the Law as he admits that he did 'work' on the Sabbath (Ex 20:10, John 7:21, 23).
               By disobeying this law Jesus broke the whole Law (Jam 2:10) and was guilty of
               breaking it all (Jam 2:10). Despite this He also remained sinless (2 Cor 5:21), in
               other words he both kept (2 Cor 5:21) and broke the Law simultaneously (John
               7:21, 23, Jam 2:10) and does both eternally (1 Tim 2:5). He was able to do this as
               He is both the Unfulfilled Law (Deut 30:10, John 1:1, 14, Rev 19:13-16) and the
               Fulfilled Law (Mat 5:17-20, Rom 10:4, Rev 22:13, 18-19) in a perfect
               reconciliation and He is both the Law and the escape from the Law i.e. the end of
               the Law in perfect antinomy (Deut 30:10, Mat 5:17-20, John 1:1, 14, Rom 10:4,
               Rev 19:13-16, 22:13, 18-19).


               Whilst it is true that on the cross Jesus took on the sins of the world he was still
               perfect.  Christians have a perfect spirit and the perfect Christ within and are yet
               sinners by means of the flesh. We are, when saved, in an instant baptised into the
               position of the dead Christ on the cross, that is His death of sin (Rom 6:23) and
               simultaneously permanently baptised into His life and into His resurrection at the
               resurrection (Rom 6:3-5).


               2.  Christians can not be cursed. No curse can affect, as a curse, a Christian or has
               power over same (Num 23:8, Prov 26:2, Isaiah 54:17, Rom 3:22, Gal 3:13-14).


               3.  Christians can not be possessed.  Light is not overcome by darkness (John 1:5).
               God is light (1 John 1:5) and darkness can not dwell in or possess this light (1 John
               1:5). Whilst God can and does dwell in darkness, darkness can not dwell in or co-
               exist with the light (2 Cor 6:14). Darkness and this light can not co-exist in the
               Christian (1 John 1:6). Satan does not possess or own God nor can he take that
