The N.T. narrative about God’s PREMIAL justice is a blockbuster to soften entrenched resistance to His love.

I’m not complaining about the longevity of the penal substitution myth within Western civilization; I just want equal time!  The next 500 years should suffice.  [5/07/10]

There are lies, there are damned lies, and there is THEOLOGY.  [5/07/10]

Our contemporary theological literature defending penal substitution provides many textbook examples of the power of entrenched ideology, otherwise aptly characterized as “forensic blindness“–closed-mindedness to what Scripture is actually communicating.  This pathological condition can be fatal if repentance (change of mind) is not forthcoming after repeated attempts at getting through.  The true, authentic Gospel about God’s premial justice providing  atonement, happily, has the power of a spiritual blockbuster to open minds and hearts to Scripture and, conversely, open Scripture to otherwise blind hearts and minds.  It can veritably renew minds if people will examine it regularly to evaluate competing truth claims.  [5/07/10] Let’s emulate those noble Bereans of old!
