I agree with your conclusion.The Lord's sacrificial offering for our sins gained us the forgiveness of our sins. As the Apostle Paul wrote, "as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men."
We, "are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus." (Rom 3:24-26)
There is no doubt that sin needed put to an end, and that end came when our Lord willing gave up His life explicitly to redeem us by dying on our behalf and rising to give us eternal life. His offering was willed by the Father and our Lord willingly obeyed. We have been redeemed by the blood of God, and God has shown He is righteous by giving His blameless Son as a one time offering for our sins that eternally makes amends for them.
There was zero wrath from the Father upon His Son for our sins.
God Bless
Do you have the Chapter and Verse from which “It was my sin that nailed Him there” is taken?
I sort of agree.Jesus gave up more than a weekend to pay for my sins.
I find claims that the Father poured His wrath upon the Son eisegetical fantasy not found in scripture.I find denial of PSA blasphemous.
Its a SOLA SCRIPTURA thing, for me.
You have already been presented with the verses that state that it was at the hands of evil men, so there is nothing gained by repeating what has been ignored.Jesus suffered for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring us to God.
Ditto. The focus is only on 1 OT verse in (Is 53)that hints at wrath against the dozens of passages that oppose that viewpoint. It’s not a very sound hermeneutic to take the one to nullify the many.You have already been presented with the verses that state that it was at the hands of evil men, so there is nothing gained by repeating what has been ignored.
I am still waiting for anything that suggests the Father HATED (wrath, vengeful anger) the Son when scripture clearly states that God LOVED the Son and the Son chose to ”lay down his life for the sheep” because THAT was the Father’s Will.
Isaiah 53 speaks of “WE considered him stricken by God”, which is a commentary on the nation rather than the actions of the Father.Ditto.

I concurIsaiah 53 speaks of “WE considered him stricken by God”, which is a commentary on the nation rather than the actions of the Father.
At the actual event … the ATONEMENT itself … Jesus said:
Matthew 27:46 [NKJV] And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" that is, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?"
Which is itself a direct quote from the opening verse of Psalm 22 … a SERMON from the Cross explaining to all exactly what was happening right before their eyes:
Psalm 22:1-24 [NKJV] 1 … My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me? Why are You so far from helping Me, And from the words of My groaning? 2 O My God, I cry in the daytime, but You do not hear; And in the night season, and am not silent. 3 But You are holy, Enthroned in the praises of Israel. 4 Our fathers trusted in You; They trusted, and You delivered them. 5 They cried to You, and were delivered; They trusted in You, and were not ashamed.
6 But I am a worm, and no man; A reproach of men, and despised by the people. 7 All those who see Me ridicule Me; They shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, 8 "He trusted in the LORD, let Him rescue Him; Let Him deliver Him, since He delights in Him!"
- A cry of one suffering as if abandoned, but still proclaiming trust in God (the Father).
- Jesus was reproached and despised of men, just as Isaiah 53 said it would be and the Gospels record it happened.
9 But You are He who took Me out of the womb; You made Me trust while on My mother's breasts. 10 I was cast upon You from birth. From My mother's womb You have been My God.
- Still the Son trusts in the Father … as He always has … forever obeying the Will of the Father.
11 Be not far from Me, For trouble is near; For there is none to help. 12 Many bulls have surrounded Me; Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled Me. 13 They gape at Me with their mouths, Like a raging and roaring lion. 14 I am poured out like water, And all My bones are out of joint; My heart is like wax; It has melted within Me. 15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd, And My tongue clings to My jaws; You have brought Me to the dust of death. 16 For dogs have surrounded Me; The congregation of the wicked has enclosed Me. They pierced My hands and My feet; 17 I can count all My bones. They look and stare at Me. 18 They divide My garments among them, And for My clothing they cast lots.
- The enemies that surround Christ are men and it is to the Father that He turns for support, not wrath.
19 But You, O LORD, do not be far from Me; O My Strength, hasten to help Me! 20 Deliver Me from the sword, My precious life from the power of the dog. 21 Save Me from the lion's mouth And from the horns of the wild oxen! You have answered Me.
- GOD ANSWERS HIM! The Father “hastens to help”, he does not “punish the Son in our place”.
22 I will declare Your name to My brethren; In the midst of the assembly I will praise You. 23 You who fear the LORD, praise Him! All you descendants of Jacob, glorify Him, And fear Him, all you offspring of Israel! 24 For He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; Nor has He hidden His face from Him; But when He cried to Him, He heard.
Gentlemen, that is the opposite of WRATH!
- Christ affirms in no uncertain terms that GOD does NOT abhor the affliction of the afflicted and the FATHER did not hide His face from the Son. The Father HEARD the Son when He cried out to Him.
John 1:1-37And there IS no verse where Jesus says "I am God."
My standard is a verse stating or implying the WRATH of the Father being directed against the Son.Setting your own standard for the way YOU want a truth to be said is wrong.
There may be “many more scriptures on this forum”, but here are all of your scriptures from this Topic:Ridiculous assertions, not even honest.
I have tons of posts on this with many more Scriptures on this forum.
It is not a lack of Scrpitures that makes anyone reject doctrine, it is an unwillingness to accept the truth when it comes.
Frankly, I am worn out praying for mercies at such stubbornness.
This was addressed that God stores up wrath and delivers it on the day of wrath [Romans 2:5], to His enemies, not His children [John 3:18]. So we agree with this verse, but this verse is not speaking about the Father and the Son, is it?For the law brings wrath (Rom. 4:15)
