Bible Note: There is no difference between "denying atonement" and "denying the nature of atonement." And what is this concern with being "offensive?" Christ never bothered with such niceties. Neither did Paul, nor Peter, nor God for that matter. Show me one time when God is "nice" and I'll show you three where he promises victory to his people and destruction of his enemies. How many do I "consider cursed?" As many as fit Paul's definition by believing "another gospel." And since the atonement _is_ the gospel, questioning that questions the gospel itself. Why should I make bones about this? What's the problem? I will speak as Scripture speaks, and Scripture speaks of those who change the gospel as damned. |
