    Ok. Good talk. Keep digging, brother, and lean on Scripture. I always suggest sticking to Scripture without commentary, form your own view and then research commentaries and books (if your view is new then you can be pretty sure it is wrong). Always go back and review/refine your understanding against the Bible. In this lifetime growth is a never ending process, like sanctification, as we move from glory to glory becoming more and more like Christ.

    Never take someone else's belief as your own and never demand others take yours as their own. Always turn to Scripture. And remember, if someone tells you the ink blot is a bat you will see a bat every time. You may grow to see the real picture as well, but that bat will always be an error of which you need to be mindful because sometimes things in the rear view mirror are closer than they appear.

    Blessings.

    wrong! do you think that you know more than Jesus Himself? You says "single requirement...belief", listen to Jesus, "REPENT and BELIEVE in the Gospel" (Mark 1:15). I make this TWO!

    You should be ashamed of yourself for the above. It is disgraceful.

    God's anger is perfectly just. His anger is not sinful. He is thrice Holy.

    Does it hurt your pride that God's anger had to be satisfied against sin?

    If Jesus was not a sinner (He was not) how could He be baptized with a baptism of repentance? Your answer makes Jesus out to be doing something inauthentic (at best) in His baptism.

    Jesus sought baptism for the same reason He died a sinner's death. He did these things as our representative.

    You are partially right. God's anger is perfect, holy and just. It is, I believe, often misunderstood as something alienated from His love. But God's anger at sin expresses His own nature and holiness.

    You are wrong that I should tolerate as serious repeated, foolish and unsupported remarks that question the very nature of God. I could have been more tactful, but past experience shows tact simply doesn't work with some.

    Insofar as your last comment, it does not make sense. God is not a slave to His attributes, but instead His attributes demonstrate His nature. Sin us not something upon which wrath can be focused (God cannot punish the sin, only the sinner). And pride has nothing to do with disagreeing with your theory. That's just smoke to try and get someone to back down through intimidation. I disagree because no passage has shown his view to be correct. It's a matter of Scripture, not pride.

    I think you have a misunderstanding of the very nature of the Atonement

    Then you put human effort as what establishes salvation.

    That makes humans the "author" of salvation.

    Such thinking is opposed to the Scriptures.

    There is no salvation in human effort

    What was said to the vile, ungodly, jailer?
    31They said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.” 32And they spoke the word of the Lord to him together with all who were in his house.

    You cannot separate the sin from the sinner! It was our SINS that Christ carried in His body on the cross (1 Peter 2:24)

    this is complete nonsense! I quote you the words of God Incarnate, and you respond by saying that what God says is "opposed to Scriptures"!? Are you for real?

    Faith and Repentance are two sides of the same coin. Repentance is Faith in action. One turns from sin (repentance) to Christ (faith). One turning with two aspects.

    so you admit that the sinner has to DO something? "turn from sin to Christ"!

    The majority viewpoint would be that held by the Church of Rome, but that is the wrong view, and the PST fits the entire biblical view on the Cross of the Suffering Servant of the Lord.
    At least you accept that this view is the dominant one held by those who preach and teach the true Gospel!

    God anger against sin, and His divine wrath towards Jesus as the Sin Bearer was NOT a tantrum of an angry God, but was that from a Holy God whose very nature hates sin in all of its various ways, and who must render a judgement upon those who have sinned against Him and His ways!

    No. A repentant faith is a gift from God. I don't give God a gift, He gives me a gift. "For the gift of God is eternal life." Not "For the gift of Tom is eternal life." :)

    I continue to bring up various scriptures, but you refuse to accept that others such as calvin, and Berkhoff, and Hodgh, and so many others accepted PST as the biblical truth, as you keep on holding to NT wright and his wrong theology on this issue!
