As usual you either fail to understand even the basics of the Christian faith or, more likely, you are completely and deliberately misrepresenting them to make your pathetic point. Your analogy falls to the ground at once because you and the son have found a way to establish justice, that people should pay back what they owe, and yet spared the debter the bankruptcy that he deserves but because of your actions, and those of your son, will not now face. In Christ,
'Mercy and truth have met together; righteousness and peace have kissed' (Psalm 85:10).
What would we say of a human judge who ,faced with a criminal found guilty of the most heinous crimes, said, "Well, he deserves the death penalty, but I love him so much I'll just let him off, and while I'm at it, I'll just torture my own son for no reason whatsoever"?
'God set [Christ] forth as a propitiation by His blood through faith, to demonstrate [what? His love? No!] His righteousness............To demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who believes in Jesus' (Romans 3:25-26). The cross sets forth God's justice and righteousness, because He doesn't abandon justice, but nor does He abandon love.
On the contrary, God says, "This is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased" (Matthew 3:17), and the Lord Jesus says, "Therefore My Father loves Me because I lay down My life that I may take it up again" (John 10:17). Christ's life was immeasurably precious, yet, 'Being in the form of God, He did not regard equality with God as being something to be held onto, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant......etc. (Philippians 2:6-11). So whilst it is true that the Father gave the Son (John 3:16), it is equally true that the Son gave Himself (John 10:18). If you look at the cross and see the Father inflicting on the Son a punishment He was unwilling to undergo, or if you see the Son extracting from the Father a mercy to sinners that He was unwilling to give, you understand nothing about the cross.
Why? What for? You have made out the Lord Jesus to be some sort of psychopath who says, "I love you so much I'm going to jump off the Golden Gate Bridge for you!" To which one might reply, "That's impressive; but why would it show how much you love me?" But if you were struggling in the waters of san Francisco Bay without any hope of rescue, and someone was to dive in to save you at the cost of His own life, and if that person was someone you hated, then you might say,
'Love so amazing, so divine
Demands my soul, my life, my all.'
Greater love has no human than this; but Christ's love is much greater, for He laid down His life for His enemies to make them His friends! "Father, forgive them! They don't know what they are doing," as the nails are hammered into His hands and feet. 'For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son, how much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life' (Romans 5:10) as He ever lives to intercede for us.
If the Lord Jesus were an ordinary man-- and a sinner-- then certainly He would need to be in HELL -> ETERNALLY. But because He is the sinless eternal Son of God, He doesn't. 'Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour there was darkness over all the land' (Matthew 27:45) It was during this time that Jesus bore all the sins of the people God had given Him to save. After that, the sun came out once more and He could say, "It is finished!" The price was paid, propitiation had been wrought, righteousness had been vindicated.
'There was none other good enough
To pay the price of sin.
He only could unlock the gate
Of heaven and let us in.'
As usual you lack common sense. Forgiveness is you don't collect. Getting paid up is not forgiving anyone.
According to your theology God the Father FORGIVES N
NE. He has never let off.
Here is scripture how it works:
Matthew 18
23“Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.
24As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand bags of gold
h was brought to him.
25Since he was not able to pay, the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold to repay the debt.
26“At this the servant fell on his knees before him. ‘Be patient with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.’
27The servant’s master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go.
28“But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred silver coins.
i He grabbed him and began to choke him. ‘Pay back what you owe me!’ he demanded.
29“His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay it back.’
30“But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt.
31When the other servants saw what had happened, they were outraged and went and told their master everything that had happened.
32“Then the master called the servant in. ‘You wicked servant,’ he said, ‘I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to.
33Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?’
34In anger his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed.
35“This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart.”
See all debts are canceled.
Also this a good example of someone who was forgiven ALL DEBT by God, Forgiven by God, REBORN, Elect, "should be having mercy" And FAILS goes to torturers to pay what is owe....Hell right?
Your version of God does not forgive. He gets paid the sadistic torture of Jesus Christ.
Show me one example of forgiveness. Its not there because even you will say in vocabulary Christ "PAID"..
PAID FOR and getting a receipt and Being forgiven are 2 different things.
Forgiving is dropping the whole thing.
Unless hey do you want me Forgive others the way YOUR idea of God does it?
Don't lie to yourself.
