Exeption vs Redemption

[kreeden]

A friend and I have a bit of a disagreement on the topic . So I decided to run the question here .

Is there a difference between exemption and redemption ? If so , what ?

Personally , I believe that there is , but I want to wait and get a few other views before stating mine .

All things are relative. Exempt from what? Redeemed from what?

 

[kreeden]

Hmmm ? That is the question . From a Christian perspective , how are they related ? What is the difference between the two ? Did the Death of Christ both exempt us , and redeem us ? If so , surely not of the same thing ? Seems redundant .



And did I post this in the correct forum ?

Guess I need more insight into what the question is aimed at.
Exemption would be something doesn't apply.
Redemtion would be to be redeemed from whatever.

Seems to me that if one is exempt, there would be no need for redemption.

I agree Luke . Sorry , but I can't give any more details as it may break a trust .... But just in general terms , such as sin ?

 

[kreeden]

Good point Mestemia . Redemption is to put something right , but exemption would have no need to , would it ? So would exemption follow redemption ?

I'll repost this isn this thread as it sems the more active one (and also appears to be in a more appropriate area). Let me know if you want the other thread closing, moving, or whatever.

I have to ask how you've heard the term exemption used in a theological context, because it's a new one on me. If you can explain that, I might be able to provide an answer better than the one I was going to give which is that exemption is not applicable.

you again James . And thank you everyone who has put up with my nonsense . I went back and reread the emails , and it seems that I may have misunderstood everything that she was saying . { thanks to my command of computer short hand .... }

If you wish James , feel free to close both threads . Sorry about this .

I do not understand the question as written.

What need is there for redemption if one is exempt?
Though i can personally come up with several examples, I shall wait until such time as I better understand what it is you are askiong first.
