05-Is the Evangelical View Pagan

N.T.Wright claims that evangelicals are pagan in their view of
propitiation. He is wrong. I am not alone in saying this. Take
John MacArthur. As John Samson, quoting MacArthur, wrote:
N.T.Wright has written hundreds and hundreds of pages on the
gospel, and the more you read of it, the less you understand
what he affirms. It is confusing, it is ambiguous, it is
contradictory, it is obfuscation of the highest level: academic
sleight-of-hand. But while I cannot figure out what it is that he
does believe, even after hundreds of pages, it is crystal clear
what he does NOT believe.
More recently, he has written a book called The Day the
Revolution Began, and in that book he says this: „We have
paganised our understanding of salvation, [thus] substituting
the idea of God killing Jesus to satisfy his wrath for the
genuinely biblical notion that we are about to explore‟. So
[according to Wright] all of us who believe in the
substitutionary death of Christ on the cross have been holding1
a paganised perversion of biblical truth, now to be clarified by
him.
Another quote: „That Christ died in the place of sinners is
closer to the pagan idea of an angry deity being pacified by a
human death than it is to anything in either Israel‟s Scriptures
or the New Testament

Why does NC theology dance so closely with Calvinism?

[@davidhjgayministry]

Does it? I am five-point in soteriology, but do not accept (putting it mildly) Calvin's view of the law, baptism, Supper, church...
