Episode notes
Reconciliation at the Cross
- We are reconciled to God, not the other way around.
- Jesus healed the disease of human sin, not a flawed Father.
Forgiveness vs. Payment
- If someone pays another's debt, that is not forgiveness.
- True forgiveness is releasing the debt entirely.
Questioning Penal Substitution
- Inherited evangelicalism often teaches a penal substitutionary theory.
- An upgraded Christology leads to questions about this theory's retributive nature.
