Christ’s death was fore-ordained, and there was not only man’s hand in it, but God’s . . . So it is true that man put Christ to death, but it was of the Lord’s disposal that Jesus Christ was slaughtered.”

Please Pray for Duck Who Unwittingly Prompted our Atonement Debate and is Not a Christian

June 18, 2006

The unbeliever, Duck, needs your prayers right now. Having unwittingly sparked the whole Atonement debate, he has risen to a challenge I set him and responds as follows:

“Driscoll says nonbelievers don’t come to the church for the same reason that people don’t gravitate to homes that are guarded by a couple of pit bulls..there are ways of guarding a house that are more discreet and that can give the house an inviting air.“

Mark Driscoll on the Atonement Controversy

June 17, 2006

Driscoll is no neoliberal and his last blog post is very clear about the atonement:
“In the fall of 2005, I preached a lengthy series on the accomplishments of Jesus crucifixion and came to realize that the cross was as foolish and offensive as ever. We had to call 911 for a woman who [...]

“If our conception, our image of God, our theology does not allow for [the wrath of God] then it is not a theology based on all that God has revealed about himself in Scripture. It is a false image, an idol. God desires praise for all of His attributes.”
God desires to demonstrate his wrath . [...]
