Subject: Can there be a doctine of atonement ? |
Bible Note: Kalos, Propitiation is a turning away of wrath. Expiation is a sacrifice that wipes away sin. From the JNTC: "'Kapparah' for sin: Greek 'ilasterion' appears twice in the NT; at Heb 9.5 it means the 'mercy seat' which formed the the cover of the Ark of the Covenant in the Holy of Holies in the temple, where the cohen hagadol entered once a year, on Yom Kippur, to offer a sacrifice for the sins of the people (Lev 16)... to 'cover', 'wipe clean'. These two root meanings both express what God does when He accepts expiation for sin: He covers the sin from His sight and/or wipes or washes it away." (Pg. 349) This from the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible: "For Paul, the mercy seat typifies Christ as the living seat of God's presence and the place where atonement is maed with sacrificial blood. In view of the above, and God's love and hope for all sinners, it seems the sense is better "expiation" -- by a grace note, perhaps. Colin |
