Penal Substitutionary Atonement:
We would all agree that Christ atoned for sin. "To make good", he sure has and surely will.
Did he pay the price for sin? YES!
What was/is the price for sin?
Was he a substitute? Died "in place of"?
If the price for sin is eternal seperation From God, did he pay that price? Why not?
If a physical death is the penalty, and we all sin, and we all die then that makes sense. Of course, the penalty ends after the price is paid. We took Jesus with us in Death, so He takes us with Him in the Resurrection.
If a spiritual death is the penalty, and we all sin, we are all spiritually separated from God until atonement takes place.
If Jesus was our substitute, He would have to physically die, which He did. He would also have to be spiritually separatedd from God, which He was. But not eternally, but until atonement was made.
