God is not on the side of any political Party, yet we do know that if you are not with Christ, you are against Him! The Democrats were literally booing God at the 2012 Convention during the invocation. They support sexual perversion, racism, theft from the rich (and not so rich), Illegal...

This assumes that being far left or far right is wrong. From experience as a little child, being in the middle of the road is only good for one thing; getting run over! The whole "Cultural Christian" argument is nonsense. We are in the world, not of this world. If our convictions are not a call...

When I got "saved" the first thing that was piled onto the Rock of my salvation was well-meaning theological explanations. I too was taught PSA. What read in books was PSA. What I heard in preaching in Church and radio... was PSA. My experience is not unlike the majority of those in Western...

Yet, not one passage you quoted says that God was the instrument of the Crucifixion! To say so is HERESY! John Caldwell is right! Allow me to bolden when you did not emphasize.... "being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have...

Being "on the Lord's side" is partisan! It is not neutral or passive. God working in and through us involves our lives in this present world. While I can agree if you are saying that we are not to be "Christian Politicians," "Christian Police Officers" as if such are called that in Scripture; I...

Unfortunately, quoting John 10:17-18 to an unbeliever would tell them nothing of Atonement, or the need for Atonement. You asked if there was a way to explain the Death of Christ on the cross without resorting to theories of any sort. I don't believe that it is possible, and I do not believe...

Care to show the Bible verses that say this?

You first!

There was no tear gas. So much for honest "clergy"!

Besides offering a Racist solution to a Non-Racist problem, such a "solution" is insanity. Do we only allow female policewomen to arrest females? What about arresting Homosexuals? Where would such a method lead? "I cannot arrest or detain and active shooter until I know his sexual preference...

From the Penal Substitution Cookbook This recipe has been around for hundreds of years and is immensely popular. Some claim eating this recipe will bring miraculous intellectual health benefits, and even salvation itself! Some may say that the “proof” is in the pudding… or should we say...

You have so much faith in dogma, and so little in Scripture! Show us those exact words in Scripture that Jesus was "Punished"!

I see no problem seeking out someone to get that itch in the ear scratched once in a while; but it is narrow to always seek that confirmation. "The first one to plead his case seems right, Until another comes and cross-examines him." Proverbs 18:17.

It is not a bad thing to agree with someone where you believe that they are right; it does not mean that you agree with them on everything! I do not agree with Roman Catholicism, yet I agree with them on the doctrine of the Trinity. I could agree a lot with Hitler's Nationalism, but not his...

Well stated! "Back Door Theology" to describe the interjection of philosophy into theology is something I need to add to my vocabulary!

For the first 21 years of my life, it certainly was not in my mind "honorable." Why would it have been "honorable" when people were being persecuted and put to death for it? The term "Jew" has been around a long time. Do you assume that being called a "Jew" in 1940 in Nazi Germany was a term of...

Just as John Wesley and the Holy Club became "Methodists" because they had a written "plan" they were "methodical." Initially it was a negative criticism, sometimes holding onto and owning that moniker as a positive takes hold. They are going to call you that anyway! Keep in mind that in the...

Since Penal Substitution is in your mind "the gospel," then I am sure that the Bible would tell us what was "paid," and who was "paid." You say that the demands of Justice are unbending and precise, and then change the rules when it became obvious that Jesus did not suffer the exact and precise...

You quoted nothing of Scripture to validate your conjecture of payment of an exact penalty. You do offer the predictable dodge of implying that since the character or offering of Jesus is infinite, God somehow now does not have to have an "exact penalty paid." Utter nonsense. But this has...

Justice and mercy meet at the Cross. There are two irreconcilable attributes in the heart of the Lord. 1) Justice; which requires that the exact penalty be meted out for crimes committed; Retributive justice is not required in Scripture. If this were true, the "exact penalty" was not meted...
