Hello @Ascetic X The text in question is Psalm 7:11. 'God is a just Judge; and God is angry with the wicked every day.' God is a Judge. A judge must judge according to the law. That is why I said that His wrath or anger is a legal wrath. Moreover, His anger is not a sudden surge of hostile...

Well, if nothing else I've got you to read Psalm 7. :Biggrin I don't really expect you to comprehend it.

Psalm 7:11.

There was a time when @JonC used to write reams of Scripture that had nothing to do with the issue without comment, and then pretend they did; but now he doesn't quote any Scripture but pretends that he draws all his philosophy from it. Sad!

I think you hve to add an "N" and make it "Neron Caesar to make it up to 666. Also, Nero didn't destroy Jerusalem, that was Titus. Nero was emperor when Rome was destroyed in 64 AD, and he blamed that on the Christians and persecuted them for it. However, there is no evidence that Nero...

What do these things actually mean to you? Why did Christ have to suffer and die if God can just ignore His own law and make us new creations without an atonement? Exactly what healing do we have by His stripes?

Deny what passages? As usual you don't quote any. You are denying 1 Corinthians 2:2, or at least you are trying to pretend it's not there. But of course we will be conformed into the image of Christ. We will be made new creations in Christ. We will have died to sin. We really will be made...

It is a possibility, but the Biblical data simply isn't there so anything I might post would be speculation. What we do know is that the devil seduced Adam and Eve into disobeying God, and that brought death upon them and all their posterity.

Hebrews 2:14. 'Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil.....' One purpose of the Lord Jesus in coming to the earth is revealed here: the...

More nonsense. People are justified (declared righteous) through the cross, and in no other way. Why do you think Paul declared to the Corinthian Christians, 'for I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.'

If you have, it doesn't show, and you don't show it by actually referencing the Bible Where? In Romans 3:21? That is a very superficial understanding of the verse unless you explain it properly and include verse 31 in your exposition. To try and separate God's word from God's law is not as...

:rolleyes: Just read your Bible.

Nonsense! If I were to say that dying was the propitiation for sin, you might have a point. But God Himself set Christ forth as a propitiation for sins in Christ's blood, so we can be sure that His blood will propitiate God. Otherwise we can not trust God in anything. It doesn't really...

If Christ is the propitiation for all human sin, then God is propitiated in respect of all human sin. Otherwise Christ's propitiation has failed to propitiate God, which seems unlikely. Just saying.

You are thinking of pagan myths here. According to the Greek poet Hesiod, Achilles' mother Thetis tried to make him immortaly by dunking him in the River Styx, but she held him by his heel and to that part didn't get wet. To cut a long story short, Paris, prince of Troy shot Achilles in the...

If that is what Spurgeon wrote, it is almost exactly what I argued on a previous thread on this subject. It does seem to me to be verging on blasphemous to suggest that Satan killed the Lord Jesus, not to mention being contradicted by a large number of Biblical texts. However, that is not to...

Joel Beeke is one of my favourite Presbyterians , but he's wrong here. Just believe the words! 'No one takes My life from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father.' What is it about the words...

Romans 3:23-26. 'For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.....' So justification by God's grace is through Christ's redemption, which is through His atoning death upon the cross, as we shall see...

Hi @Zaatar71. What you need to understand is that although the Scripture says that no one took our Lord's life from Him and He laid it down at the command of His Father (John 10:18); although it pleased the Father to bruise Him and put Him to grief (Isaiah 53:10); although Herod, Pilate, the...

OK. It refers to finishing the work that the Father gave Him to do (John 17:4), particularly, in context, of providing propitiation - satisfaction to the outraged justice of God - by His sacrificial death upon the cross. It would be helpful to me if you would show clearly where you disagree...
