Atonement Theory

- Today we talk about the major atonement theories.
***
In studying the Bible, we have found it to be a trustworthy and beautiful guide for life. And yet, we also know the many ways this same profound text has been weaponized against others. Whether to marginalize, silence, or shame those who have dared to ask questions and chart a new path through the world, this is not only wrong but a misapprehension of the Bible’s role in the Christian faith.
On the first page of this year’s journal, we wrote, “we are completely fascinated by this complex and beautiful collection of texts we call the Bible-but we worship Jesus.” That’s not because we think there is a disconnect between the two. In fact, we are convinced the Bible is what points us back to Jesus. However, Scripture is where we encounter Jesus. Scripture is not a replacement for Jesus. And therefore, our use of the Bible must be as peaceful and grace-filled as the Jesus we follow. In this series, we will attempt to disarm the Bible of violent interpretations but also to recapture some of the extraordinary ways in which the Bible calls us to life change.

My brother, you are gifted with the power of teaching and preaching. Thank you for giving your time and energy to studying this and explaining it to the layman and your congregation.
Thanks for listening
This is the best and calmest explanation on "atonement" that I've heard in 30 years of ministry since seminary. No yelling. No trying to impress anyone. No misuse of the Scoffield literalism rampant in fundamentalist evangelicalism. My good brother, I bless you for your good teaching ministry and humble heart to help set hearts free from the ridiculosity of biblical literalism.
🙏
@@commonschurch I just listened to the most thorough refutations of PSA 15 hours roughly. Here is is...ruclips.net/video/Bh_fF3JqZ-U/видео.html
Really good teaching.
Glad it was helpful!
"because whatever our theories of the atonement do for us to be true, they must point us back to each other with more love and compassion and kindness, more of the grace of Jesus in our bones" - This is a key point for me.
Thank you so much for the clearest overview I've come across. I think all these theories are complementary aspects of one complex event.
You didn't mention "purification for sin" Heb 1.3 cf Acts 10.15, 1 Pet 2.5 where, like Levitical sacrifices rendered specific people suitable for use in God's service for a time, the purpose of Christ's sacrifice was to do this for all people permanently. Isn't this a recognized theory of atonement?
“Jesus did not come to change the mind of God about humanity. It didn’t need changing. Jesus came to change the mind of humanity about God.” -Richard Rohr
Thanks the last explanation is the first time I hear 😮 each has a strong Foundation thanks goodies that these are theories which has nothing to do with our salvation😂❤
Amen. Salvation is through Jesus. Our doctrines and theories are only there to help us love him and follow his way.
Jeremy is the most intellectual theologian i have ever met!!!! And I’ve rubbed shoulders with the best…warren, billl, obama, murarry…and Allan…i was called “little Al”
😂
Why do more churches like this not exist?
Thanks for watching 🙏
John 3:16"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
no angry God ,a loving God
Rom3:23For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. 24Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins. 25For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin. People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood.
Every atonement theory would celebrate those verses 🤷♂️
