    Was the death on the cross necessary?

    "being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: (Acts 2:22,23). I believe it!

    Are you sure? I wouldn't be shocked if he said that! His only begotten Son...

    Was the death on the cross necessary?

    I agree with John Wesley's statement- "Whatever is true is not new; whatever is new is not true." Recent novelties in doctrine are not likely to be true. If something is true, we would be able to find it in the past. There is nothing new under the sun.

    Was the death on the cross necessary?

    While antiquity does not prove something to be correct, it does prove that it existed. As for a study of historical theology, we know close to the date it was invented, and through written history we know that it did not exist at any time in the Church before that. The burden of proof is on...

    The Lord's Side (Remaining neutral and non partisan)

    I just told my wife that I recalled the story of her dad on the Forum, and she laughed. I asked if he ever did take that off his vehicle. She said, no... he either ignored you or just could figure out how to get it off! o_O

    Nonsense! More Nonsense; listening to Bob George recently?

    The Lord's Side (Remaining neutral and non partisan)

    My father-in-law had bumper stickers on his car. "Follow me to Church" "I (heart) Sunday School" "Abortion is Murder!" and "Vote: Clinton/Gore" I told him that he needed to get rid of the Clinton/Gore sticker or the other three.... he was embarrassing himself!

    How does the Theory of Penal Substitution Atonement necessitate the Cross?

    Are you a Christian? Yes. If so, how did this happen to you? Talking to irrational lunatics.

    How does the Theory of Penal Substitution Atonement necessitate the Cross?

    Jesus died for the sin of the world. Yes! Jesus became the sin of the world- No! Sin cannot be transferred from one person to another. God thru Christ forgave the sin of the world. No! That would be Universalism. Jesus laid down His life for the World. Yes!

    How does the Theory of Penal Substitution Atonement necessitate the Cross?

    You should have more respect for God, suggesting that He beat up on Himself like an idiot in front of the mirror so He could forgive you! Dividing the Trinity through Wrath disrespects God to the core!

    Looking at the crowd the fly landed, saying, "A thousand flies can't be wrong!" The spider agreed!

    Was the death on the cross necessary?

    Nope! He punishes the guilty, not the sin.

    How does the Theory of Penal Substitution Atonement necessitate the Cross?

    Interesting, you blew right past the facts with the superiority of blind dogma! The fact is, "punishment" in Isaiah is a bad translation. All of a sudden, after 2000 years, a "translation" appears to use the word "punishment." A sensible exegete of the Word would ask "why"/ And then they would...

    How does the Theory of Penal Substitution Atonement necessitate the Cross?

    The Cup was just as likely Coffee as it was the Wrath of God. "God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself." 2 Cor. 5:19

    A solution to the race problem on the force.

    Sorry, but the realty is, those of that RACE of people do commit more crimes! I can buy that in impoverished areas that poor Blacks cannot afford good Lawyers and representation compared to "some" wealthier Whites, and that equals more convictions unfairly, but Black "Culture" is provable to be...

    How does the Theory of Penal Substitution Atonement necessitate the Cross?

    I am not a fan of Eternal Security and PSA. Both are false doctrines that are not Scriptural, yet at one time I was a "True Believer" in both of them. The first to go for me was Eternal Security, and it literally took years to get to the point where it was no longer living in my head! I...

    How does the Theory of Penal Substitution Atonement necessitate the Cross?

    There are two words in Hebrew that we translate the word "chasten." (A). One means reprove, rebuke and punishment. (B). The other means to bind; to discipline, to restrain from doing wrong; correction. (A). Is used mostly in context of punishment of the wicked. (B). is used in examples or...

    The Lord's Side (Remaining neutral and non partisan)

    I have answered your question adequately, yet all I get is a pompous stance of imaginary moral superiority, and not a rational or Biblical response.

    The Lord's Side (Remaining neutral and non partisan)

    I said nothing of Politics when I said that. I used the example about truths in general. It was a response to why it is not always correct to be in the middle. Always seeking a via media is at times an excuse for intellectual and moral laziness.

    The Lord's Side (Remaining neutral and non partisan)

    Nazism is "National Socialism"... it is not to the Right. It is not Tribalism, for it was Democrats that fought against Civil Rights, for Slavery, and supported the KKK. The Leftist philosophy of Post Modernism is promoted by Democrats on the Left, saying that America is no longer a "melting...
