Oops, I published that last one too soon. I have another reason why I'm Not a Fan of Penal Substitutionary Atonement.
#11 Like many doctrines, this is used to divide and/or maintain divisions in Christ's church. If we stick to teaching passages of Scripture in context we will find most Christians agree. When we teach a doctrine that requires proof texting (copy and pasting a variety of verses from all over) there will likely be some who object.
I am one of those who object. But I will try to maintain unity with those who love Penal Substitutionary Atonement. I know many of them love Jesus. Maybe they came to conclude this theory from their personal time with my Lord, or maybe they are following traditions and teachings they have received from others.
Either way, I don't think it's so much what you know as who you know that matters. I certainly don't have it all figured out either. :)
