Atonement History Of The Church

21 March 2014

Understanding this topic is critical to knowing which Gospel is correct as heard from today's many pulpits.  "Substitutionary Atonement" of Jesus Christ has come under attack by some Internet critics.  In particular, some Christians completely deny the concept of  a “substitution” of Christ for sinners.   Instead, many in history have taken the Divine Work of Jesus on the cross to be a object lesson.  It is from this "lesson" which sinners should be inspired to take notice and repent their sins daily.  Are such views Biblical?  Are the attacks credible? Are the complaints against it rooted in Scripture or rooted in traditions of Church history? What does the Bible say?   Shouldn't the Bible be our Authority for defining Truth?
