Bible Note: Greetings John! Sorry for the delay, but I did not receive notice of your response. Here is the link to Finney's Theology: http://www.gospeltruth.net/1851Sys_Theo/st34.htm And, here are the statements from that page: "I will now cite some passages that establish the fact of the vicarious death of Christ, and redemption through his blood." " II. Define the term Atonement. The English word atonement is synonymous with the Hebrew word cofer. This is a noun from the verb caufar, to cover. The cofer or cover, was the name of the lid or cover of the ark of the covenant, and constituted what was called the mercy-seat. The Greek word rendered atonement is katallage. This means reconciliation to favour, or more strictly, the means or conditions of reconciliation to favour; from katallasso, to "change, or exchange." The term properly means substitution. An examination of these original words, in the connection in which they stand, will show that the atonement is the governmental substitution of the sufferings of Christ for the punishment of sinners. It is a covering of their sins by his sufferings." Have fun, his writing gives me a headache. :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
