Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.

re:OP... Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how to answer every man. I think that salt has that convicting aspect that offsets the leniency of grace. It is both a preserving agent; it produces thirst; and if rubbed into a wound it will not only heal but...

There is definitely an aspect in which redemption is seen from the perspective of the Father. I do believe that Romans 3:25-26 show that justice is satisfied in the Cross; and that God is able to show mercy, and also be perfectly just, because of the Cross.

This is false teaching.

As long as you understand that the forgiveness of sins comes through the blood of Christ; and appropriate that to yourself, I think that you will be ok. But it seems to make sense to me that, since forgiveness is through the blood of Christ, that His blood might have been shed instead of ours...

Jesus was begotten in the incarnation, Luke 1:35.

It may not be something that we would even attempt to prove; but to provide evidence for. Anything worth believing is received by faith. Forgiveness of sins is provided for through the blood of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Jesus, in dying, His blood was shed in order that we might be forgiven...

I commented on them here: Warnings to the churches about gaining eternal death and here: Warnings to the churches about gaining eternal death

I believe your exact words were: Implying that if God is loving, merciful, and just, that this is contrary to the idea that He has wrath against sin.

Justice is justice.

Yes, the Lord does indeed have wrath against sin, Romans 1:18. This is not necessarily true. There may be one that is right above all the others, and the most biblical. If I agree with one of the other theories more, it does not make that theory true. We do not know this. the wrath of God...

I consider it to be the gospel itself that there are two irreconcilable attributes in the heart of God...justice and mercy. Justice requires that God punish sin exactly and that the full penalty be exacted from the sinner. Mercy desires that less than the punishment for the iniquity deserved...

Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.

Concerning the OP, I have one word ... Gideon / Jerub-baal.

I do not see that. For I hold to the penal substitution theory of atonement and do not define myself as a Calvinist. The justice of the Lord has nothing to do with anger...although I could probably bring up verses that say that God is angry with the wicked. It is indeed in the Bible. I do...

Jesus is the Word. The Word was God (and is, and always will be...Psalms 90:2). Christ is God. I would suggest not paying attention to the words of shnarkle from this point forward; as he seems to be a proponent of gnosticism.

That, to me, appears to be a denial of the fact that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. Did Jesus turn into a spirit-being on the way up? If you say yes, then you are denying that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. If you say no, then He ascended bodily; and if He is returning in like manner...

Paul is talking about all kinds of works in Romans 4:5-6. Including works that are done in the power of the Holy Spirit. It should be clear that they are not salvational to us. Though if we are saved, we will do works in the power of the Holy Ghost. The works don't save (Ephesians 2:9); the...

Another verse that speaks of this is Heb 4:11, Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. I have interpreted this to mean that since faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of the Lord (Romans 10:17), it takes a certain amount...
