Penal Substitutionary Atonement: Part 2

 

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.

Sinless Perfectionism Heresy (update)

 

For more on the errors of Christian legalism and Sinless Perfectionism, go to my YouTube video playlist:

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrhyXWgSgKwYpCPnLGlPDbHui4To_H1FO&si=6RsLRtSzKhWZtvmQ

This will demonstrate how inconsistent legalism and sinless perfectionism is not only historically wrong but how this bad understanding of scripture will continue to degrade other orthodox Christian doctrines. 

 In the first video, this brother states that "WORKS is the SALVATION".  which is complete heresy...  

On the 2nd video, he'll change his position on sinless perfection claiming a believer in Christ CAN "POSSIBLY" SIN after maturity in Christ.  If this is the case, it's no longer sinless perfectionism.

Video 3 demonstrates further how bad doctrine is progressive!  You go from adding rocks to our road to causing an avalanche that can end up flattening us and destroying us unless we humble ourselves to the truth of The Word of God!

Video 4 demonstrates how having a WORKS RIGHTEOUSNESS gospel does absolutely nothing to convince the world of the truth of God (in an apologetic sense).   The message of the cross and regeneration is FOOLISHNESS to those who are perishing (1 Corinthians 1:10).

Let's continue praying to The Lord for the humility to recognize when we're wrong so that we can accept our blind spots wherever we have them in order to continue growing in God's truth.

PART 2

==========

Sinless perfection is the theological position that a Christian can become SINLESS at some point in their walk with God. 

Some falsely believe that this "perfection" can happen as soon as they're saved (born again). 

People who believe this completely distort the doctrines of Justification, Sanctification and Glorification.

They completely misread the exhortation given by the Apostles to the early church to "walk in a manner worthy of your calling".  (Ephesians 4:1; Col. 1:10; 1 Thess. 2:12, etc.)

This false teaching was rejected in the early 4th century but will resurface often when certain believers take on a hyper-literal reading of certain Biblical proof texts.

Divine Nature Podcast is up!

Looking forward to continuing the podcast this new year -  this time under the continued spiritual reality of our DIVINE NATURE. 

The divine nature is the walk of faith in the promises of God in Christ.  Where by if we truly believe these promises we can walk in holiness baring good fruit as we abide in the Vine. 

Look out for the next Divine Nature Podcast coming soon!

Women in the Church/Home

 

On this podcast, I want to cover the much regarded issues covered in 1 Corinthians 14 and 1 Timothy 2.

We'll see that Paul is dealing with the order in the congregation and draws from the law of God and the fall of mankind in Genesis;

bringing to light the foundation of familial headship and its necessity for the human relationship between man and woman.

it all hinges on LOVE AND RESPECT.  That's all good.

TO THE MEASURE OF THE SPIRITUAL REALITY THAT IS CHRIST AND HIS CHURCH AS A BRIDE WHICH WILL BE PURE AND READY - FULLY SANCTIFIED FROM THE WORLD.

This is the high standard of that relationship between men and women here on earth.
