christ, already

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

He was to be the final sacrifice; no one can top sacrificing God. This
Ultimate Sacrifice paid the blood price for all sins committed and yet to
be committed by generations yet unborn, completing the older quid pro
quo-style covenants and making way for the new covenant of forgiveness,
and a personal relationship with God.
