Summary

Critics of Penal Substitutionary Atonement will often misrepresent it as "cosmic child abuse" or a slew of other straw men. This teaching is meant to showcase how many of the people who publicly criticize penal substitution do so by ignoring the core teaching and focusing on making a ridiculous and monstrous fake version of penal substitution which is designed to be so disgusting that you will reject it. The result of all this is that you reject the biblical teaching about Jesus' death on the cross because you've been misinformed about what it actually teaches. In today's live stream I'm tackling these representations and hope to offer some sober clarity on what Penal Substitution really is as well as to disarm the rhetoric of so many today who aren't dealing with it accurately. Here's my whole series on Penal Substitution (dealing with church history, scripture, rhetoric, philosophy and morality related to it) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ3iRMLYFlHttVR0rkvhBfA-IKrg5SGcp My work in this ministry is fully supported by donations and I intend to keep it that way so that everything I produce can be offered for free.

Welcome to the live stream. I'm rushing to get things going today. It was a little bit of a delay.

0:14.0

I'm sorry for being like 12 minutes late, but what I'm going to do today is play video clips of people, in my opinion here mocking the cross of Christ and misrepresenting what the Bible actually teaches about how Jesus saves us and I'm going to respond to those video clips.

0:29.0

That's kind of what we're doing. That's the agenda today. My purpose in this is to disarm the rhetoric because what

0:35.1

they're saying isn't factually true but the rhetoric is powerful as in it's

0:40.0

psychologically manipulative it really sort of shames people It really

0:44.0

shames people into changing their minds about things when they're really being

0:48.4

tricked. So I want to share those things with you today. Welcome to the

Tuesday live stream. I'm Pastor Mike Winger. I do this every Tuesday at 5 p.m. Pacific Standard

time. We're in the middle of a series on penal substitutionary

0:58.3

atonement and in this series we're dealing with, in fact we've already dealt

with the history behind

1:04.0

Penal Substitutionary Atonement or basically for those who don't know what that

1:06.6

term means. I'm talking about how Jesus saves us, that Jesus died in my place

1:10.2

as my representative on the cross. He suffered the penalty or the punishment

1:13.8

for my sins so that I could be forgiven and God's wrath was dealt with and my

1:19.0

relationship with God was restored and that that's part of the cross like the cross is more than that but

1:23.7

the cross includes that that's the idea here so we dealt with the biblical side we

1:29.4
