Mr. Pappy
if there were no individual redemption, then why did God demand individual sacrifice?
Surely you aren't saying that if one was condemned the entire nation was condemned? During the time of Ahab and Jezebel, when there were 700 prophet who hadn't worshipped Baal, did they not receive redemption when they died because of the sins of the nation?
Sure there was individual redemption offered thru the sacrafices God demanded, or why would anyone do them? If one failed to follow thru, they all were cursed? Nah.
That would be like saying on the night of Passover, if one jewish father failed to sacrifice and paint the door posts, all the jewish first born would die.
We are forgiven and redeemed as individuals, and we always have been. It is not a corporate insurance policy.
