    No explanation of the terms is not an answer to the question.
    What you are convinced of is not the issue.Joseph Smith was convinced he discovered the book of Mormon.
    Even described a burning in the bosom.

    Another open denial of God's determined purpose.

    :Laugh

    I should ignore this paragon of preposterous poopyheadedness, but just in case . . .

    Under the law, one guilty of a sin worthy of death and hanged on a tree was accursed of God. This law is there to teach us of the Cross of Christ, and its meaning, and Paul rightly cited it to document the fact that Christ was made a curse for us.

    So those Christians who died by hanging on a tree were cursed by God because they were hung on a tree??

    And Penal Substitution Theorists are convinced they have the "truth" even though it is not in God's Word.

    The problem you are having, your barrier (if you will) to the Truth of Scripture, is in your quest to redefine terms.

    You read Christ was wounded, but you add "God wounded Christ" (just an illustration).

    What I am trying to tell you is that Scripture itself IS sufficient for doctrine. We do not need to help it out by adding what is not there.

    In fact, some believe it is sinful to add to Scripture.

    this response is evidence that you are trying to ignore what scripture says. Uou said God didnt do that to Jesus men did yet this here is another clear passage that says otherwise

    There are very clear passages staring that Chrust suffered and died at the hands of the wicked and by God's predetermined plan. There are no passages that state, imply, or teach that God was punishing Christ, that Christ experienced God's wrath, or that Christ was punished instead of us. Otherwise you or another Penal Substitution Theorist would have posted those passages before and this thread would not exist.

    Why not just stick with Scripture? Is God's Word not enough for Christian doctrine?

    You missing the mark?

    Romans states, "there is no condemnation..." not because God poured the wrath out upon the Son.

    All believers have the decrees of the Law that stood against them satisfied, Just as God was temporally reconciled with Israel through the sacrifice, so all believers of all ages are (even the yet unborn) reconciled by the Christ who once offered for all time. Does not Hebrews deal more particularly with this subject.

    Sin has consequences. Romans states it is death - physical death.

    At the physical death choice and decision making are over, for after death is the judgement.

    One stands before Christ in eternity with eternal life, the other finds themself in the place of torment waiting for the great judgement when time is no more.

    What you perhaps desire is some physical, emotional, mental, anguish to take place on this earth while living as if that were to pay for sin. It does not.

    The Lord certainly suffered, was tortured, mocked, felt abandoned by all, yet this was all by the hand of humans as Isaiah, Peter and the Psalms show.

    Therefore, the wrath of God remains, filling the buckets in which at the proper time will be poured out not upon the church or the Groom, but upon those who rebel.

    The church nor the Christ were appointed to the wrath of God.

    Then perhaps you should read it again.

    Tradition would suggest it, but the Scriptures do not.

    God's determined purpose is not denied.

    What is denied is that God did not pour wrath out upon the Son for doing what the Father, Son, and Spirit agreed upon, caused to be written about, and were pleased that it took place as they determined.

    However, WAS the Lord guilty of sin?
    Do not the Scriptures state that He took the sin yet remained sinless?

    Did not Peter state
    22Men of Israel, listen to this message: Jesus of Nazareth was a man certified by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs, which God did among you through Him, as you yourselves know. 23He was delivered up by God’s set plan and foreknowledge, and you, by the hands of the lawless, put Him to death by nailing Him to the cross. 24But God raised Him from the dead, releasing Him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for Him to be held in its clutches.
    Under the Law the Christ was never cursed for the Law was made for Him, not Him for the Law (as recorded concerning the response of the Law of the Sabbath).

    Paul is not wrong
    13Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us. For it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.”f 14He redeemed us in order that the blessing promised to Abraham would come to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.​

    It does not say Christ was cursed, but that He caused Himself to become a curse.

    But it makes little difference, because there is no evidence that God cursed the Son nor poured wrath out upon Him.

    Where have I denied that the Lord suffered?

    Where have I denied He was wounded, mocked, and brutilized?

    I have not denied the suffering.

    What I deny is the who and why of what PSA theory presents.

    Did you not see were I agreed with the greater amount of what you posted, with one exception?

    However, you didn't include it all.

    You did not include that the PSA presentations present God as divinely judging the Son (as Packer states) and that is were it is wrong.

    God cannot judge a member of the trinity.

    They are in total union and not in any manner or matter in disciplining each other.

    No, but the truth of the Holy Spirit inspired Pauline text was that Jesus was cursed and smitten by God for our sakes!

    We both see it and understand what we are reading.
    I do believe you have looked and cannot understand what we do.
    It has been 5 threads now where you indeed suggest you agree with the posts but you clearly do not as you strip the cross and justice of God against sin. Many have posted your exact words and showed where you have done this.
    So now you claim I am doing this.
    The problem for you is if anyone wants to take the time to read all 5 threads, they can see this is so.

    I understand Acts 4 as posted.I do not struggle with God being in control of even the wicked acts of ungodly men? And how God uses even such sinful acts to accomplish His ordained plan.
    I offered you Isa.10 as such an example.You disregard it, that is now between you and God.

    Of course scripture is sufficient as God has given it to us.
    Properly understood all of us see PSA.
    That being said, correct and a caution has been given. You and agedman can continue on not believing what scripture declares

    Scripture does say Christ became a curse for us, and I do agree.

    Scripture does not say Christ was smitten by God. Actually, what it says is "we" esteemed Him smitten by God BUT He was wounded for our transgressions.

    You really should handle Scripture more carefully, as if it really were God's words.

    Where?

    “WE esteemed him smitten by God and afflicted, BUT He….”

    PSA - He wasSmitten of God

    Peter - “…and you, by the hands of the lawless, put Him to death by nailing Him to the cross. 24But God raised Him from the dead, releasing Him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for Him to be held in its clutches.”

    Paragraph 2 sentence 1.

    for him who did not know sin, in our behalf He did make sin, that we may become the righteousness of God in him.

    Jesus the Son of the living God, became, sin. ----- And when he became sin he cried out ---- Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? --- which was followed with --- I thirst --- they put vinegar to his lips ----
    It is finished

    What just took place? From James 1:15 and sin, (Which Jesus had just been made by God the Father) when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

    It is finished Luke 23:46 Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost. John 19:30 It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

    Is Jesus the Son of God still hanging in the tree, sin and death? What happened to that sin and death that Jesus had become?

    Is the rest of post 60 strawman? What happened to, sin, Jesus had been made? How or has sin removed from Jesus the Son of God?

    Does Acts 13:33,34 have anything to do with it? Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.? What day.

    Does that day and begotten have anything to do with?
    And himself is the head of the body -- the assembly -- who is a beginning, a first-born out of the dead, that he might become in all things -- himself --

    Did that have anything to do with the sin he had become?

    Were out sins, which Christ had become to flesh, washed away in Christ blood (life), when Christ was made (alive) to the Spirit?
