Appeasement of a Monster God?

[Dizerner]

@Dizerner do you agree with RC in the last 2 posts I quoted on PSA ? Yes or no

Pretty much. There is some slight inaccuracies. in anthropomorphic metaphors that are imprecise.

We say things like "God turned his back" and "God cannot look on sin" and "God puts sinners out his presence."

All of these are inaccuracies, but people do not generally mean them literally.

What is intended to be conveyed is, "God will express himself negatively towards sin," that is the heart of the idea.

So if Jesus takes the judgment that each of our sins deserved, then Jesus must feel the punishment we would have.

If we deny that God needs to express his justice and holiness, we have a permissive and passive God towards evil.

If we deny that we even NEED atonement at all, we have simply become proud and self-righteous.

So the beauty and wonder of the Cross is a mercy that does not compromise justice.

Sloppy grace wants mercy without justice. Legalism wants justice without mercy.

But the wonder of the Cross is a truly evil sinner being justified by a holy God, mercy with justice together.

Without that, you do not even have Christianity, you just have moralism and do-goodism.

Pontificating one's opinion and assumptions does not make one right. Nowhere in the bible does it state, or is taught by any of the Apostles, that Jesus Christ incurred the wrath of God. Nowhere in the bible does the antitype of God's Lamb incur the wrath of God, but the sacrifices were holy unto the Lord and were slain with their innocent blood-life given to death atoning for the guilty blood-life of the sinner. God was demonstrating that redeeming one's self came at a price that no man could afford, and that only He could provide the sacrificial Lamb that takes away the sin-guilt of the world.

The bible clearly shows that God covers our sin. Meaning, He will never remember it and hold it against us. The bible never expresses that God vents His wrath and indignation we earned and pour it out on an innocent person to appease Himself. This is not the God of the bible, nor the God who lives within me.

No wrath upon our Lord Jesus Christ, never mentioned, only assumed and said enough times that one believes it even though God and everyone else in the bible never said it.

"Mercy and truth have met together; Righteousness and peace have kissed"

My sins needed covered, and the sinless blood of Jesus Christ covers them perfectly for eternity that they will never be remembered. And all because of love, not the need to vent anger.

God Bless
