I was moved so much by this last episode of the DL so much, I had to post it on my own website. Here, James White is going through a Part 2 of his response to those who have a problem with the most important and most fundamental doctrine to Christianity, Penal Substitutionary Atonement. I repeat, MOST FUNDAMENTAL!!!
I recently did my own commentary on PSA in response to a young YouTuber from the Eastern Orthodox tradition. He too slammed PSA in his video, and after I finished that response, I felt shaken up on how anyone could attack such a fundamental Biblical understanding of the Christian faith - while calling themselves, Christian. That's never happen to me in all my responses on other debates, commentaries, as a podcaster.
At the 45:00 mark on the DL, James reads an ugly sentiment (to say the least) of someone who really has a problem with the doctrine of PSA... and this is one of my conclusions with many who reject PSA..
It's a dark and worldly, God-denying rejection of what God has done for us, and what Christ did for us at the cross. I can't think of anything more sad! It's demonic BLINDNESS not to see it in the reading of the NT as well as Isaiah 53! All I can say is WOW!
Lord have mercy! Open the eyes of the blind!
Many of these objections stem from the rejection of the knowledge of the depravity of man. As well as a rejection of the knowledge of the thrice HOLINESS of God! Lord, open the eyes of the blind!
I've always said, we need to know who God is by having a higher view of Scripture. Unless we recognize how Holy our God is, we're NOT going to see how small, depraved, and UNHOLY we are!
It's no wonder why the attributes people seek of from "a god of their own making" is all about what pleases human sensibilities and emotions like, "Love" ... because the god that people create for themselves can't remind them of how great He is and how small and sinful we are.
Unfortunately for them, this is where true humility comes from.
God bless.
