Jesus not smitten of God

[Ghada]

Isaiah{50:5} The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back. {50:6} I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.

Act 2:23Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:

Jesus was not smitten by God nor of God, but only by and of wicked men alone.

God has personally smitten men and women, both in the OT and NT by His Spirit. And being smitten of God, is by the hands of men, that are given His law to faithfully execute:

Deu 19:12Then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him thence, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die. Thine eye shall not pity him, but thou shalt put away the guilt of innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with thee.

Lev 24:16And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the LORD, shall be put to death.

If the law of God is justly executed by men, then the guilty is smitten of God by the faithful hands of men of God.

But if men slay the innocent contrary to the will and law of God, then they are slain of unjust men alone, not of God.

Isa 53:3He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

The prophecy is not of God smiting Jesus, but of those at the cross falsely esteeming Him smitten of God.

If Jesus was rightly esteemed smitten of God, then He was slain by the righteous hands of men, not the hands of wicked men:

Psa 22:16For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.

Act 2:23Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:

Scripture concludes the hands of the pluckers, smiters, and piercers of Jesus Christ, were not of God, but of men alone.

If God imputed sin to Jesus and had Him smitten and cursed by law upon a tree, then contrary to Scripture the hands of the smiters were of God by law, not of the devil contrary to the law for shedding the innocent blood.

Jesus Christ who knew no sin in life and in death, was not guilty of any trespass against the law, nor cursed and smitten of God on a tree. Unbelieving men of the devil falsely accused Jesus Christ, made Him a curse on a tree, and smote him unjustly of their own will.

Jesus Christ was unjustly accused, condemned, and smitten of wicked men alone, that did not believe He was the Christ of God come in the flesh, and the Son of God with power.

1Co 12:3Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed:

The same unbelievers still esteem Jesus was smitten and cursed of God on a tree.

God caused Assyria to attack Israel and take the people into exile and then God judged Assyria for attacking Israel and taking her people into exile. In the future God will 'hook' Gog and Magog and cause them to attack Israel and later God will judge Gog and Magog and bring destruction upon them all for attacking Israel.

Jesus' life on earth was sacred. Him being the Son of God and being "smitten by God" is correct just as it was wicked hands as the instrument, but it was God who did the smiting. There was a reason why darkness covered the land just before Jesus died. That was to cover what the Father was doing in smiting His Son just as it would have been Abraham slaying Isaac with a knife except with God there was no one to stay His hand for an angel showed up before Abraham could bring that knife down upon his son. God controls all life, living, and death. God controls what number comes up in the grand scheme of things and a life is expired at the appointed time by God.

19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them;
2 Cor. 5:19.

An interesting word appears here, and it is "imputing." In this case it is a negative by the word "not."
And here is the definition according to Strong:

imputing: λογίζομαι, pronounced logizomai (verb.) middle [voice] from [G#3056] (logos); to take an inventory, i.e. estimate (literal or figurative.)

It is translated in the KJV as:
think 9 times
impute 8 times
reckon 6
count 5
account 4
suppose 2
reason 1
number 1
miscellaneous translations 5
[Total Count: 41]

Why this Greek word [logizomai]? Why not use "μέτρον (metron)" meaning "measure" for λογίζομαι (logizomai) [imputing] meaning inventoried or estimate?

Meaning: To reckon, account, consider, or impute. λογίζομαι logizomai.
Usage: In 2 Corinthians 5:19, it carries the sense of God attributing or imputing sins to humanity. This is a judicial act, where God is seen as a judge determining whether to hold someone accountable for their actions.

Meaning: Measure, standard, limit. μέτρον (metron)
Usage: While related to quantity or dimension, it doesn't carry the judicial connotation of λογίζομαι. It's more about defining boundaries or standards rather than making a judgment.

In 2 Corinthians 5:19, the use of λογίζομαι is precise because it conveys the idea of God's decision to not hold God's elect accountable for their sins through Christ's sacrifice. Replacing it with μέτρον (metron) would change the meaning significantly, as it would imply a limitation or boundary on sin rather than a judicial act of forgiveness.

How does this tie in? God is jury, judge, and executioner in sending His Son to die for the sins of the children of Israel under the Law which He is fulfilling. In Scripture sin is death. And Christ's death on the cross is judicial in nature and in not imputing their sins to them it was instead imputed or "measured/estimated" against the Son. And His death was not at the hands of men but of God the Father. And it wasn't that Christ died for a multitude of sins committed by men, but for one sin: the sin of being created sinful. Everything that has to do with deliverance, redeeming, and salvation which is of the LORD (Jonah 2:9) takes place in time upon the cross. Christ would have the sin nature of God's elect "inventoried" and "estimated" upon Him and the righteousness of God "inventoried" and "estimated" upon those whom Christ came to save. It was a nature-swap. Christ died to atone for the sinful nature of God's elect and God's elect have His righteousness 'imputed' upon them. And God the Father is judge with authority to make it happen. This isn't a court of public opinion, but it is a court. And God Himself has inventoried and estimated and by His own hand - as with Abraham - was the One doing the execution of the Son only there is no one to stay His hand or stop Him. That was the purpose of the Son coming in human flesh.
And what enabled God to do this at all took place before God created heaven, earth, and man. It happened in the heavenly Tabernacle in which a lamb was slain just for the ability to create man and create a sinful man with a sin nature, for there is only ONE God, there is NONE like Him, and He gives His glory to NO ONE.

8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from [before] the foundation (creation) of the world. Rev. 13: 8.

Once in eternity, and once in time. And God executed both.

 

[CrowCross]

In the future God will 'hook' Gog and Magog and cause them to attack Israel and later God will judge Gog and Magog and bring destruction upon them all for attacking Israel.

It appears this is about to happen.

 

[Ghada]

Romans{1:3} Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; {1:4} And declared [to be] the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

To who is Jesus declared to be the Son of God with power, by His resurrection from the dead? Certainly not to the Father, nor the Spirit, nor the angels in heaven, nor even the devils, who already knew and confessed He was the Son of the Highest on earth.

Luk 4:34Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God.

By His resurrection from the dead, He proves to all the unbelievers at the cross, that He was indeed the Son of God as He said. They are all proven wrong, that He was smitten of God:

Isa 53:34He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

1Jo 5:20And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

All His disciples forsook Jesus and likewise esteemed Him smitten of God, along with His accusers. Only after His resurrection from the dead, did He prove to them He did not blasphemously call Himself the Son of the Highest, nor falsely prophecy Himself resurrecting from the dead.

Luk 24:19 And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:

We see at the time, that His disciples still believed He was a great prophet sent by God (even as some unbelievers in His Sonship acknowledge today),

And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him. But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.

But by His condemnation and crucifixion upon a cross, they no longer trusted He was the promised Redeemer and Son of God:

Luk 24:25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

Only by His resurrection from the dead, did they believe the Scriptures prophecying Christ's suffering unto death, and were now convinced He was indeed both Lord and God:

Jhn 20:27Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

The fulfilled prophecy was that all at the cross, both Jews and Gentiles, would wrongly impute Jesus with sin of blasphemy and smitten of God by law.

By His resurrection of the dead, the Spirit of holiness bears witness to all flesh on earth the truth of His Sonship in the flesh with power.

Therefore, by still esteeming Jesus was indeed made a curse by God and smitten of Him, His resurrection from the dead must be denied. Even as the unrepented Jews:

Mat 28:12 And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers, Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept...So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.

Act 2:23Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:

God has personally smitten men and women, both in the OT and NT by His Spirit. And being smitten of God, is by the hands of men, that are given His law to faithfully execute:

Deu 19:12Then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him thence, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die. Thine eye shall not pity him, but thou shalt put away the guilt of innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with thee.

Lev 24:16And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the LORD, shall be put to death.

If the law of God is justly executed by men, then the guilty is smitten of God by the faithful hands of men of God.

But if men slay the innocent contrary to the will and law of God, then they are slain of unjust men alone, not of God.

Isa 53:3He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

The prophecy is not of God smiting Jesus, but of those at the cross falsely esteeming Him smitten of God.

If Jesus was rightly esteemed smitten of God, then He was slain by the righteous hands of men, not the hands of wicked men:

Psa 22:16For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.

Act 2:23Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:

Scripture concludes the hands of the pluckers, smiters, and piercers of Jesus Christ, were not of God, but of men alone.

If God imputed sin to Jesus and had Him smitten and cursed by law upon a tree, then contrary to Scripture the hands of the smiters were of God by law, not of the devil contrary to the law for shedding the innocent blood.

Jesus Christ who knew no sin in life and in death, was not guilty of any trespass against the law, nor cursed and smitten of God on a tree. Unbelieving men of the devil falsely accused Jesus Christ, made Him a curse on a tree, and smote him unjustly of their own will.

Jesus Christ was unjustly accused, condemned, and smitten of wicked men alone, that did not believe He was the Christ of God come in the flesh, and the Son of God with power.

1Co 12:3Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed:

The same unbelievers still esteem Jesus was smitten and cursed of God on a tree.

Once again whole scripture should have been examined and not just the verses that support the title.

Leviticus 16:10
But the goat on which the lot for the scapegoat fell shall be presented alive before the LORD, to make atonement upon it, to send it into the wilderness as the scapegoat.

Psalm 69:24-26
Pour out Your indignation on them, and may Your burning anger overtake them. May their camp be desolate; may none dwell in their tents. For they have persecuted him whom You Yourself have smitten, and they tell of the pain of those whom You have wounded.

Isaiah 53:10
But the LORD was pleased To crush Him, putting Him to grief; If He would render Himself as a guilt offering, He will see His offspring, He will prolong His days, And the good pleasure of the LORD will prosper in His hand.

Matthew 10:28-31
Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a cent? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not fear; you are more valuable than many sparrows.

Romans 3:21-25 ESV
But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins.


The underlying flaw at the foundation of the op is the idea sinful humans could kill God's Son without God's consent . From the fate of the scapegoat all the way through the prophets to Jesus' own teachings, and the confirmation of the epistolary, it was inded God who smote His Son.

1 Peter 1:17-21
If you address as Father the One who impartially judges according to each one's work, conduct yourselves in fear during the time of your stay on earth; knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ. For he was foreknown before the foundation of the world, but has appeared in these last times for the sake of you who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.

He was foreknown as the perfect, blemish-free sacrifice before the world was created.

 

[Ghada]

God caused Assyria to attack Israel and take the people into exile and then God judged Assyria for attacking Israel and taking her people into exile.

God used Gentile sinners to punish His unrighteous people, that turn from Him.

Comparing the Assyrian destruction of reprobate Israel with the Roman crucifixion of Jesus Christ, is truly amazing.

But, if someone wants to believe God imputed His Son with all the sins of the world, then I suppose why not?

His accusers only imputed Him with blasphemy, not all their own sins too.

Him being the Son of God and being "smitten by God" is correct

Is still false at the cross,

Isa 53:34He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

And especially false after His resurrection, proving all are wrong, that impute Him cursed and smitten of God for blasphemy.

Romans{1:3} Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; {1:4} And declared [to be] the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

just as it was wicked hands as the instrument, but it was God who did the smiting.

If He was cursed under law and smitten of God, then the hands crucifying were lawful and righteous, not wicked.

Deu 19:12Then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him thence, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die. Thine eye shall not pity him, but thou shalt put away the guilt of innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with thee.

The righteous and true God does not slay the righteous, especially not with wicked hands of unjust men. Only the god of this world does that, beginning with wicked Cain slaying righteous Abel.

1Jo 3:12Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.

Abel was not smitten of God by hands of Cain, and especially not Jesus by hands of crucifiers.

There was a reason why darkness covered the land just before Jesus died.

True. The Father's anger over all sinners on the earth, judged guilty of slaying the innocent blood of His dear Son without cause:

Jhn 15:25But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.

That was to cover what the Father was doing in smiting His Son

The holy Father is not blind, nor does He blind Himself to His own will and deeds. The Father of lights does not hide from the light to do His own will.

For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

Only the self-justifying wicked do their works in darkness, not to be seen of God nor man.

Jhn 15:22If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.

He that sees all things, covered His eyes from seeing His own deeds, is just adding insult to injury. It's the same foolishness of saying God covers His eyes with grace, so as not to see the sins of His own people.

just as it would have been Abraham slaying Isaac with a knife except with God there

And neither Abraham used a knife, nor the Father a nail, for neither smote their own beloved Son.

was no one to stay His hand for an angel showed up before Abraham could bring that knife down upon his son.

And no angel showed up before the wicked hands hammered the nails down into the Son.

In 2 Corinthians 5:19, the use of λογίζομαι is precise because it conveys the idea of God's decision to not hold God's elect accountable for their sins through Christ's sacrifice.

It's the same foolishness of saying God covers His eyes with grace, so as not to see the sins of His own people.

No man is imputed righteous at the cross, save the Son, and God does not impute the righteous with sin.

Replacing it with μέτρον (metron) would change the meaning significantly, as it would imply a limitation or boundary on sin rather than a judicial act of forgiveness.

How does this tie in? God is jury, judge, and executioner in sending His Son to die for the sins of the children of Israel under the Law which He is fulfilling. In Scripture sin is death.

Rom 16:18For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple. But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

2 Timothy{6:20} O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane [and] vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: Which some professing have erred concerning the faith.

For God is not [the author] of confusion, but of peace, as in all the churches of God.

 

[jeremiah1five]

God used Gentile sinners to punish His unrighteous people, that turn from Him.

God uses anybody to deal with anybody else.

Comparing the Assyrian destruction of reprobate Israel with the Roman crucifixion of Jesus Christ, is truly amazing.

Isn't it amazing? Truly.

But, if someone wants to believe God imputed His Son with all the sins of the world, then I suppose why not?

It must be clearly understood what this "imputation" means.
The doctrine of imputation teaches that in the doctrine of justification, God imputes or accredits the righteousness and suffering of Jesus to those who are in him and, conversely, imputes the sins of those redeemed to Christ. Martin Luther, called this double imputation the “glorious exchange.” What is ours becomes Christ’s and what is Christ’s becomes ours. This doctrine has roots in the Old Testament and is further explained in the New, especially in the letters of Saul.

Now pay attention. The Old Testament images, shadows, and statements all point to Jesus in the New Testament and the "glorious exchange" (Martin Luther) that we receive through the redemption that comes through him. When Saul explains the nature of salvation, he tells the church in Corinth that he and the other apostles are ambassadors for Christ through whom God makes his appeal. The message of reconciliation that he and the apostles herald is: “For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God” (2 Cor. 5:21). God makes Christ sin in the same manner that we become the righteousness of God, namely, through imputation. Saul’s formulaic statement arguably rests on the bedrock of Isaiah 53, which has its foundation in the protocols of the Day of Atonement in Leviticus 16. Christ bears our sin and we receive Christ’s righteousness, his perfect law-keeping accredited to us. Saul uses this same language in his discussion of the doctrine of justification in Romans 4 when he quotes Genesis 15:6 “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness” (Rom. 4:3). Saul explains imputation in the following manner: “Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due. And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness” (Rom. 4:4–5). Abraham’s righteousness was not native to him; in fact, Saul says he was “ungodly.” So how did God consider him righteous? Because Abraham laid hold of Christ’s righteousness by faith. God therefore imputed Christ’s righteousness to Abraham. Paul further explains the nature of imputation by appealing to David: “David also speaks of the blessing of the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works: ‘Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered; blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not count his sin’” (Rom. 4:6–7). Again, God “counts” righteousness to the ungodly sinner who looks to Christ by faith apart from works and conversely does not count his sin against him.

His accusers only imputed Him with blasphemy, not all their own sins too.

If their names are in the book of life of the lamb slain (Rev. 13: 8) then the salvation righteousness of Christ is imputed to them, it is counted towards them through the unction of the Holy Spirit of Promise when they are born again. These things "are laid up in heaven" awaiting the elect person who is born again to receive.

Is still false at the cross,
Isa 53:34 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

And especially false after His resurrection, proving all are wrong, that impute Him cursed and smitten of God for blasphemy.

Romans{1:3} Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; {1:4} And declared [to be] the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

Saul expounds the "glorious exchange" between Christ and believers in Romans 5:12–21, but he adds another imputation, namely, Adam’s imputed guilt. Paul explains that sin came into the world through one man and that death spread to all people because all sinned (Rom. 5:12). But how, precisely, can Paul say that all people sinned because of Adam’s one sin? Adam and Christ serve as representative, or federal, heads for those who are in them: Adam represents all humanity and Christ represents only those who are in him (1 Cor. 15:20–28).
Each federal head acts, disobediently in the case of Adam and obediently in the case of the last Adam (1 Cor. 15:45): “For as by the one man’s disobedience the many were constituted sinners, so by the one man’s obedience the many will be constituted righteous." Because of the respective (dis)obedience of Adam and Christ, God constitutes or appoints people into each category. Saul does not say that God considers people sinful because they sin; he does not say that people imitate Adam’s sin and therefore God classifies them as sinners; he does not say that people receive their sinful status by virtue of being born as sinners. Rather, God appoints or constitutes (katestathēsan) them as sinners and as righteous based on their relationship to their respective federal heads.

If He was cursed under law and smitten of God, then the hands crucifying were lawful and righteous, not wicked.

Is that what Pete said?

23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: Acts 2:23.

Deu 19:12Then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him thence, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die. Thine eye shall not pity him, but thou shalt put away the guilt of innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with thee.

The righteous and true God does not slay the righteous, especially not with wicked hands of unjust men. Only the god of this world does that, beginning with wicked Cain slaying righteous Abel.

The "god of this world" is man, not "Satan." The thief Jesus refers to is "sin" not Satan. First, the angels that sinned are locked up (2 Pete 2:4.) Second, the thief that comes to "steal, kill, and destroy" is not "Satan" (who is locked up), but sin. No man of angels can steal, kill, or destroy" what belongs to God, but sin does. Sin steals (a believer's joy), kills (wages of sin is death), and destroys (that is the nature of sin.) Neither "Satan" (who is locked up) nor man can steal, kill, or destroy what belongs to God. God is Sovereign over sin specifically, and Sovereign over creation in general.

Abel was not smitten of God by hands of Cain, and especially not Jesus by hands of crucifiers.

Again, what did brother Pete say?

23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: Acts 2:23.

True. The Father's anger over all sinners on the earth, judged guilty of slaying the innocent blood of His dear Son without cause:

The holy Father is not blind, nor does He blind Himself to His own will and deeds. The Father of lights does not hide from the light to do His own will.

Only the self-justifying wicked do their works in darkness, not to be seen of God nor man.

God sees all, men, not so much.

He that sees all things, covered His eyes from seeing His own deeds, is just adding insult to injury. It's the same foolishness of saying God covers His eyes with grace, so as not to see the sins of His own people.

God's eye is open to all wickedness and sin of both saint and sinner, saved and not saved. If there is 'accounting' to be done, then God needs to have His eye open.

And neither Abraham used a knife,

6 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together. Gen. 22:6.

nor the Father a nail, for neither smote their own beloved Son.

It's not the nail that is in focus, but the tree.

And no angel showed up before the wicked hands hammered the nails down into the Son.

That wasn't the purpose of God. He made it all happen as it did and as recorded.

It's the same foolishness of saying God covers His eyes with grace, so as not to see the sins of His own people.

That never happens

No man is imputed righteous at the cross, save the Son, and God does not impute the righteous with sin.

Well, that's exactly what happened.

For God is not [the author] of confusion, but of peace, as in all the churches of God.

God is Author of everything that happens in creation.

I am the LORD, and there is none else.
7 I form the light, and create darkness:
I make peace, and create evil:
I the LORD do all these things.
Isaiah 45:6–7.
