2 Peter 1:3-4. Hebrews 11:33. 2 Corinthians 1:20. Romans 4:20-22.

Not that I see.

I believe that He did...in order to pay the penalty for our sins in order that we might be saved. What about you?

Jesus was and is without sin (2 Corinthians 5:21, Hebrews 4:15, 1 Peter 2:22, 1 John 3:5).

So we are supposed to and will suffer that fate is what you are saying; since the suffering and death of Christ does not keep us from that fate...

God is just to condemn Jesus in our place in order that we might not be condemned. It is the DIVINE EXCHANGE that enables us to even be saved; for without it we would all be condemned: for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of the Lord. His righteous blood applied to us (which...

So Christ was punished for His own sins? Because He was surely punished!

You still haven't adequately dealt with the justice of the Lord in what you are saying. If God forgives people out of hand, where is the justice in that? Tell it to the family of George Floyd, that the officer who killed him should be acquitted simply because he says, "I won't do it again."...

This is in fact the gospel. How you separate it from substitutionary atonement is beyond me.

Now I consider that I am very studied to shew myself approved (I continue to read through all of the epistles once per week, the gospels, Acts and Revelation once per month, Psalms and Proverbs twice per month each, and other things in the OT at a lesser rate); And I do not consider that there...

It depends on what He is trying to teach them at any given moment. I know of many wealthy fathers who do not give money to their children because they want them to understand the value of money; so they allow them to learn from the school of hard knocks what it means to be poor so that they...

I suppose that we are going to have to agree to disagree; and I will weep in secret over your pride (Jeremiah 13:17) in that you have rejected God's provision for the forgiveness of your sins. It is all over the Bible that Jesus died on the Cross to pay the penalty for our sins...it is in fact...

So, one is forgiven over turning over a new leaf? The blood of Jesus doesn't bring forgiveness; but a person is forgiven because they are innocent of crimes that they previously committed? How are they forgiven? How is justice satisfied over the sins that they committed before they were born...

Here is what God says: Jas 1:9, Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted: Jas 1:10, But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.

Repenting does not change the fact of sins that have been committed in the past; and justice requires that those sins be punished. How does God show mercy to forgive those sins while continuing to be just according to your theory?

We have victory over sin because of having been set free from the law (see 1 Corinthians 15:56-57). Don't get me wrong; I am all about preaching the law as a schoolmaster to bring men to Christ (Galatians 3:24). However, once faith has come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster (Galatians 3:25).

God did indeed die in order that the enmity might be slain (Ephesians 2:15-16). However, He is also risen from the dead; and in this He gives us the victory so that we are obedient and therefore do not as much any more need the provision that slew the enmity.

2Co 5:10, For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. 2Co 5:11, Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I...

However, in order to keep sound doctrine, we proclaim that it is faith and not keeping the commandments that saves us and keeps us saved. For it is clear from such passages as Galatians 2:16 that law-keeping does not save us. Therefore, we are saved by faith in Jesus and this indeed does...

The question to be asking is, How does the Cross necessitate the Penal Substitutionary Atonement? The answer is, that it does so in that the redemption of the Cross obviously satisfies the justice of God while God is still able to justify him who believes in Jesus Christ, Romans 3:25-26. In...
