    In our Lord everything is new for me every day. I’m in my 60’s and it has taken that long for me to find this out, but we are all learning.
    I have an unorthodox way of interpreting the Bible. I hope people here at GCR are able to keep their minds open to things I will add to conversations.
    God continue blessing.

      I am looking forward to hearing some of the things that you have gleaned from the Word. Getting past the surface, sometimes a much larger truth begins to emerge!

          Hello Mike.
          I believe Jesus is perfectly one with His Father. Because of this, it’s clear that He held back His own anger at those who sinned against Him, mistreated Him. This completely changes the reformed view of scripture.

              Yes, I agree, He had a much larger perspective than only his own earthly perspective. I am not aware of the “reformed view of scripture”, but I am in agreement with what you see.

                  The reformed view teaches “penal substitution.” This belief teaches how Jesus was punished by our Father in place of sinners. That simply can’t be true.
                  The real truth is that our dear Lord was sinned against by His creation and all sin against Him must be repented of to be forgiven.

                      Interesting. So the reformed view believes that each animal that was killed and sacrificed by man for man’s sins was “punished by God for man’s sins?”

                        Where atonement is concerned yes and that is contrary to Gods’ character . It goes against His mercy and justice.
