God the Wonder of Wonders by C. Matthew McMahon (300 Pages) In Judges 13, Manoah stood before the Angel of the LORD, whose name was declared to be Wonderful. When He ascended in the flame of the altar, God revealed in shadow what would later be displayed in fullness in Jesus Christ: the...

James White recently had an episode on his podcast on Penal Substitutionary Attonement: Penal Subsitutionary Atonement: Part 2. In it, he referred to the PCUSA member who runs the Redeemed Zoomer youtube chanell, and called him out on his saying that PSA is not essential doctrine. James...

Aaron now took up the people's offering. Here the most striking expression occurs of any that we have yet met with in regard to atonement. "He offered it for sin" might be rendered, "He sinned it," or "He made it sin" (וַֽיְחַטְּאֵ֖הוּ). So, in chap. 6:26. The sense of "offering for sin," is...

Holiness Under the Mercy Seat by C. Matthew McMahon (216 pages) Where does the Christian find refuge? Where does he go for strength, for cleansing, for holiness? The answer is not found in self-reliance, nor in empty religious forms, but in the shadow of the mercy seat—under the covering of...

"The goat stands here in the same relation to the peace-offering from the herd, as did the turtle-dove and pigeon to the bullock of the whole burnt-sacrifice. The poorer sort might bring the goat; when he could not bring the blood of bulls, he brought the blood of goats. And thus, still, they...

Underneath the Blood by C. Matthew McMahon (300 Pages) “Underneath the Blood” is a study into the heart of what it means to live covered, protected, and empowered by the precious blood of Christ. This book invites you into the weighty mystery of how Christ’s sacrifice does more than offer...

How we view Christ's atonement will ultimately affect our view of God's omnipotence. I have written an article about it, and I welcome any discussion. https://biblicalogic.blogspot.com/2024/01/christs-atonement-and-gods-omnipotence.html

Limited atonement is definitely one of the most contended points of Calvinism. In fact, many ‘Calvinists’ drop this point and say they are “Four-Point Calvinists.” They believe that Jesus died for the whole world (John 3:16), and often reference 1 John 2:2 “And He Himself is the propitiation for...

Quote about Nestorian Atonement statements of G.H. Clark. But alarmingly in recent years similar statements have been made by R.C. Sproul, and many others, but most especially in sermons and teachings by reformed theologians about the true doctrine of Divine Immutability of which Impassibility...

Grace and peace! I came across a very intersting passage in Expositio in Symbolum Apostolorum, Thomas Aquinas. Talking about the death of Christ he says: "Fourthly, we incur the punishment due to sin. For the justice of God demands that whosoever sins must be punished. This punishment...

I was listening this video by an Arminian who tried to “refute” the doctrine of penal substitution. One of his arguments is that the “cup” Jesus mentioned in Luke 22:42 is not a cup of God’s wrath poured out against sin, but merely the physical suffering He would endure at his crucifixion...

Hi all, I'm a seminary student. Currently, I'm taking a church history class. One of the requirements is that we write a paper on a figure's theology. I chose to write on Owen, but I can't make up my mind for either the Atonement or Union with Christ. The paper is limited to 10 pages and the...

In what sense did Jesus take God's wrath on the Cross? It seems to me that scripture focuses more on the physical death, as Peter says, he bore our sins in His body. As I understand it the death of Christ met the requirements of God's law and is therefore propitious. But there does seem to be a...

I am newly Reformed, and in the process of studying out the atonement I came across what Mark Driscoll calls Unlimited Limited Atonement. Essentially what he says is that on the cross Christ purchased all of humanity, and then as his possession he applied his forgiveness to the elect and his...

On pg 319 (Banner of Truth Edition) of his Systematic Theology, in the chapter on the names and natures of Christ, Berkhof statest that it is absolutely essential for the Mediator to be very God in order that: 1. He might bring a sacrifice of infinite value and render perfect obedience to...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGEDVTDf2tk I happened upon a man's video series on YouTube. The series is his defense against the theme of blood atonement in the old and new covenants. Here is the link to the comments page. His appeal is that Jesus' message is contradictory to the "blood...
