Disagreements about the Atonement

There is an aspect of Jesus' work that was passive as well as active. Active speaking of his life of perfect obedience as well as his work as our high priest. Read Hebrews again.
One other thing. In truth, even when you refer to the portion of Christ's work as passive, as in being the lamb slain, you have to remember he could not be passive like we would understand it. We could get into a situation where we would know that once beyond a certain point you are "in" for the duration. Jesus said himself he could at anytime have called legions of angels to stop everything. So, not one moment was truly passive even though it is true that it could be described as a passive thing in the sense of being done to him.
