Unprofitable Servant...I hate when this happens but you say something like “there is no condemnation” (Romans 5:1) then when I go look at the verse, it is talking about something totally different. The problem with your theory of penal substitution is that it is unbiblical. If that is how God did things I am sure he would have said so. Instead He says: “The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.” Ezekiel 18:20 That means Jesus isn’t guilty or responsible for what you have done. Now as one example look at this: “Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,” Romans 5:1 You act like that proves Jesus was penalized for each of our sins. How? We both agree that we are justified by faith through Jesus. Those verses you gave just don’t pertain to anything you said they would. Was I supposed to see a verse next to one of your comments like “a believers sins were punished...” and be like, okay he must be right because he quoted a verse and not actually look at the verse?! |

John UK...I won’t suffer for my sins because I am clothed with the righteousness of Jesus Christ. “After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, ...“These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.” Revelation 7:9, 14 Now let’s look at what you want to be clothed with. “But we are all like an unclean thing, And all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags; We all fade as a leaf, And our iniquities, like the wind, Have taken us away.” Isaiah 64:6 Your own filthy rags! If you are depending on Jesus having somehow suffered the penalty for your individual sins to save you, that still would not make you righteous. It would just mean someone else was unjustly punished for you. You would still be guilty if that was the case. You guys need to stop getting your theology from hymns! pennned... God made promises to the seed of Abraham. He has not forgotten or gave up on Israel! |

John UK...That wasn’t a good response because the wrath talked about was temporary as opposed to eternal, not toward believers, and nothing about Jesus. As I mentioned before, Jesus died to include us in His death and have our sins forgiven. Not to pay the penalty for each of our individual sins. How would that have brought reconciliation? We would still be guilty while Jesus would have took the punishment for our sins unjustly because Jesus wasn’t guilty! “For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection,” Romans 6:5 We who believe were united into His death, if He is resurrected so will we be, but that also means if He received the outpouring of God’s wrath on Him, so will we. Isn’t going to happen because He did not! “For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” II Corinthians 5:21 We become the righteousness of God in Him because Jesus is righteous. Not because Jesus suffered God’s wrath for us. If you committed a murder and they sent me to jail for it, would that be just? Furthermore, would that make you innocent? Of course not! |

Unprofitable Servant...I didn’t miss that you said there is a future wrath. I also believe that. The problem is there is no evidence that Jesus received wrath in some penal substitutionary way. “For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died;” II Corinthians 5:14 The death of Jesus wasn’t such that we no longer suffer death because He died in our place as a penal substitute. Jesus actually died to include us into His death! Salvation is all about Jesus and what He is. It wasn’t Him paying off our sins through punishment, it was Him having our sins erased. The cross wasn’t about God’s wrath, but rather His Love and mercy. “And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin.” I John 3:5 “In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace” Ephesians 1:7 Our forgiveness is dependent on being placed in Him. It is not because Jesus received the penalty of eternal death for us. That still would mean we are guilty before God and Jesus would still be spending a countless amount of eternal damnations in Hell. He wouldn’t even have been raised three days later! We would never have a hope of a resurrectio |

John UK...If pretending you had any legitimate answers in the past and evading the questions now makes you able to sleep at night, then okay fine. Unprofitable Ssrvant... I’m talking about the future day of God’s wrath. “For the wicked are reserved for the day of doom; They shall be brought out on the day of wrath.” Job 21:30 “But in accordance with your hardness and your impenitent heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,” Romans 2:5 “For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”” Revelation 6:17 So you see there is a future day of God’s wrath? In all of those examples you give you still didn’t show that Jesus suffered God’s wrath and punishment for each of our sins in some kind of penal substitutionary death. |

John UK...I don’t remember, can you give them again? Even Jesus said He didn’t come to judge the world but that the world through Him might be saved. Jesus is God! You have God judging the world in Jesus by pouring out His wrath on Him, but Jesus didn’t come for that. “For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.” Romans 5:10 The death of Jesus reconciles ius to God because in Him we have paid the penalty of sin which is death. The soul who sins will die. However, we are now saved by His life. He is Righteous and alone worthy to be raised. However, in Him we can look forward to also being raised on account of His righteousness and not our own. You are thinking you are somehow righteous because Jesus suffered the consequences of your sin. That is just a payment and wouldn’t reconcile you to Him! |

Adriel...Salvation is of the Lord. However, we are saved by faith. “knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.” Galatians 2:16 Faith therefore is not a work and those who put their trust in Christ are not performing a work which merits salvation from God. “through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.” Romans 5:2 There isn’t even access to the grace which saves apart from first believing. “And he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”” Acts 16:30-31 What must we do to be saved by God? Believe! |
