Bible Note: Mornin' Tim: Tim, can you find Finney's words for me that, say he clearly 'did' accept the substitutionary death of Christ? You wrote: "1) Vicarious death of Christ: Some have argued that Finney did not believe in the substitutionary death of Christ. Based upon his own comments, he clearly did. So, this charge is false." Finney wrote: [Subhead:] Foundation of the justification of penitent believers in Christ. What is the ultimate ground or reason of their justification? "It is not founded in Christ's literally suffering the exact penalty of the law for them, and in this sense literally purchasing their justification and eternal salvation" From Finney's [Systematic Theology, 373]. That seems to say pretty clearly that, he did not accept 'Christ Death' as justification for sinners. Where did he say otherwise, that would contradict the above quote; can you show me please? Thanks. God bless John |
