Episode notes
Rethinking Penal Substitution
- Penal substitutionary atonement theory assumes God is wrathful and punishes sinners by making Jesus suffer on their behalf.
- However, biblical evidence suggests God's primary response to sin is forgiveness, not wrath, as Jesus exemplified.
God's View on Sacrifices
- Old Testament scriptures reveal God often rejected sacrifice, emphasizing justice, mercy, and obedience over animal offerings.
- Prophets like Isaiah and Micah showed God desires a contrite heart, not blood sacrifices.
Hebrews Rebukes Old Covenant Sacrifice
- Hebrews critiques the old covenant’s reliance on blood sacrifices as ineffective for removing sin.
- Christ’s offering is obedience to God’s will, not another blood sacrifice.
