Featured Where did the Wrath of God go? Part 2

In the "classic view" we are purchased (redeemed) trough the blood of Christ. He is Himself the Propitiation for our sins (the One whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, to be received by faith).

 

Has anyone yet realized the absurdly of asking where anybody's wrath went?

 

Then read your Bible.

 

I do not know why you choose dishonesty over honest discussion.

You are unable to provide even one passage of Scripture, even one word, that I reject. Yet you choose to slander a brother (actually, most Christians) for daring to disagree with your philosophy and interpretations.

What you mean by accusing the majority of Christians as "rebelling against Scripture" is they disagree with you. By so doing you elevate yourself to the position of God. You think, at some level, God is beneath you (that your thoughts are higher than His, better than what He passed to us via His Word).

I know that you are unable to see past your philosophy and theory. That is fine. Were I not convinced of the inerrancy and sufficiency of Scripture then I would probably still affirm your view.

Have you ever considered that perhaps, just perhaps, God's Word IS sufficient for doctrine? If so, why did you dismiss the thought?

 

Emotional? Not at all.

I understand exactly where you are in terms of doctrine. I was there for most of my life. I am not angry at you for stating your belief, one I shared for so long.

Don't be so sensitive, Mitch. Nobody is mad at you.

I would not be able to convince myself, when I was you, that most of Christianity was right about the "classic view" so I am certainly not trying to convince you. Before you can read Scripture for what is written (and it make sense) you will have to let go of your philosophy. I only hope one day you will be able to, especially since you have already shown you are unable to defend it.

What I observed is that you are very dishonest in your argument. To you anybody who disagrees with your philosophy and interpretations are rebelling against Scripture. That is what sets us apart.

Many (I believe most) who affirm the Penal Substitution Theory of Atonement are honest men. They understand that Christians who disagree with their interpretation are not rebelling against Scripture but instead are trying to be faithful.

You are simply not one of those men.


I am just saying that you should be honest in your arguments. You elevate your understanding to the level of Scripture and condemn anybody who rejects your words as if they were rejecting God's Word. You set yourself above God. That is wrong.

 

That question is nonsense. Wrath does not go anywhere.

Wrath does not "go" anywhere. God's wrath is against the wicked. But wrath is not a physical thing.

If a friend angers you and later apologizes, where does your wrath go?

If you think you were overcharged and become angry, but then discover you made a mistake, where does that wrath go?

God is not a child, and it is about time we stop talking about Him as if He were.
