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.

The EO Church trend

 

Check out my YouTube video: "Is Eastern Orthodoxy the New move?"

There are many Protestants moving towards EO but there are also many coming BACK to Protestantism because they found out what's behind the glam-bam, bling-blam; holy murals and cool garb!  

The EO Church doesn't believe in the fallenness of man the way Protestants do.

They don't believe in Christ's atonement the same way.

Baptism and Salvation outside the EO church is not allowed... but it is, but not really.  Yet, they don't believe in an "invisible" Church.   It's complicated!

(This blog / video thread will keep growing so be sure to revisit for new video additions.)

A BIBLICAL ANALYSIS OF THE EASTERN ORTHODOX CHURCH - Part 1

PART 2:

=========================

Here's the account of Cyril Lucaris, an Eastern Orthodox who dared to go purely orthodox and apostolic, and was treated equally as his Master, Jesus before pharisees.    

=================================

What Did They Get WRONG? Orthodox VS Stuart & Cliffe Knechtle

 *There's nothing more apostolic than The Word of God.

*There is nothing infallible but the Word of God.

*The ultimate authority is The Word of God.

=======================

Check out these other videos on EO vs. Protestantism, debates and personal testimonies from people who have come back to Protestantism from the EO church system.

==============

EO vs. Protestant Apologist, Matt Slick:

Another Matt Slick debate that later turns into a real dumpster fire.

Notice how the Roman Catholic can't stick to the agreed-upon debate topic, and immediately wants to appeal to the supposed infallibility of extra-Biblical sources.

=================

On The following video/podcast, Dr. James White and Pastor Jeff Durbin discuss the major problems with the Roman Catholic Church's stance on doctrines (in this case, the doctrine of eternal security but also other doctrines) where apostolic churches (in general) must regard tradition (as well as Church fathers and ecumenical church councils) as infallible instead of acknowledging that scripture alone is infallible, and sufficient as God's revelational truth.

EO Body Snatchers!

(New converts to EO. How do they fall for such bad, bad arguments?)

My critics just don't get it... but do we expect that they will?  Nahhh!
