    I agree. Once you understand Christ's victory over sin and death, other atonement theories act as elaborations of Christus Victor rather than as competing atonement theories.

      @@savedchristian4754 Everyone believes the moral law of God continues. Are you supposing that God is now immoral? Are you supposing that God's righteousness and holy character has changed? Are you supposing that when Jesus chose 2 of the OT Laws as companions for the "Great Commandment" that they were original (rather than from the OT Moral Law) or in contradiction to the OT moral Law? What the NT contrasts (in the New Covenant realities breaking in) is the "curse" of the Law. NOT that the entire law is a curse! Rather, that curses included in the Law come to those who disbelieve. The New Covenant releases us from the sacrificial system of Leviticus (fulfilled by Jesus according to Heb. 13:11-14 and elsewhere) -- i.e. ceremonial law. And from civil distinctions designed only for Israel. But GOD has not changed, and moral Law flows from Him.

      "-&How can God be appeased of His righteous wrath over human sins, without His wrath being poured out on Jesus? If a car tube is inflated, how can it be deflated without sending the internal air to another place? Similarly, where has God's wrath gone if not placed upon Jesus?
      Claiming Jesus obeyed God & so God's wrath was appeased is totally absurd. Why? It is because Jesus not only obeyed God but was forsaken by God & suffered the most painful & shameful death which He prayed earlier in Gethsemane to be exempted from!

      Dr Wright’s perspective is that penal substitution, vicarious atonement and Christus Victor (see Gutsv Aulen) each has a piece of the pie… again, Rom 8:1-4 in the New Testament for Everyone (Zondervan, 2013)
      Sin is drawn out thru the Torah onto the Messiah (Jesus in the flesh) whom the Father lovingly completes the destruction of Sin and zdeath… teteledtai

      @@elfrechaun It depends on which interview he's in. He's a master of equivocation. Also, in his system of theology, "being saved" isn't even a category. In his system, you only need to belong to and identify with the correct "covenant community." And just like Doug Wilson, NT Wright has categories for justification and for obedience that are foreign to the Bible. NT teaches a version of initial and final justification as well as teaching that there's a difference between 'good works', 'obedience', 'works' and 'works of the law.' If you say that the term 'works of the law' in Galatians and Romans only refers to old testament ceremonial practices, (Which is what he says) then thats the perfect way to smuggle in a works based salvation system because it implies that since it only refers to OT ceremonies then believers are still justified by our obedience. It goes something like this; "We are not justified by works of the law but works of the law doesn't mean obedience it just means OT ceremonial laws, therefore we still need to obey in order to justify ourselves and obey in order to keep ourselves justified to the end." So what it does is (among other things) it cuts out God's sovereignty in Christ's atonement applied to the elect person, the Holy Spirits regeneration and the Father's choice in election.

    How this man can be recognized as a teacher of the gospel is beyond my comprehension! He is confusing and says nothing but he uses lofty verbiage. Utter nonsense. The book of Romans is not hard to understand. Wright also conveniently disregards Ephesians 2:8-10 Ephesians 2:8-10 KJV
    [8] For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] Not of works, lest any man should boast. [10] For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
    Wright has a very skewed understanding of the gospel.

And people can have all the (mis)understandings and stupid assertions they want-- only one can be right (opposite and opposing things can't both be true) and only one can be Biblical. The most Holiest Trinity, the FULL Godhood and deity of the Lord God Jesus Chist, His Penal substitution death and Resurrection, salvation by grace not works and effort and self achievement, through faith and salvation NOT being a process are CENTRAL (salvation as a process and/or through sacerdotalism is a truly satanic and devil worshipping idea/doctrine)

      ​ @barrypatrickius when you say CENTRAL, to whom is this central? That's the problem. You want to take a stand for some western theology from the prostentat reformation, that's okay! Just admit that it's central to the doctrine you stand for. How can you reduce 2000 years of christian faith to some point of view. Over the history of christianity we can find several ways to explain and understand what's the gospel is about. Wright is not alone in his thinking. Many men brought this discussion up over time. It's not that simple to take one of many interpretations and make it the only understanding possible. Penal substitution is central? Again, to whom? It's not end of the story. If the work of Jesus means that much to you, it shouldn't be taking untouchable like that.

Secondly, penal substitution, like ALL Biblical things, are essential to CHRSITIANS who don't give a DAMN about any denomination or conforming to it and towing the party line. One Baptist once said, I am first and foremost a man, a saved sinner, secondly I am a dispensational fundamentalist, thirdly I am a fundamentalist Baptist, but where when and if Baptist doctrine contradicts the Bible, THEN BAPTIST DOCTRINE CAN GO CHASE ITSELF!! None of the protestant, Catholic and OrthoPOX have that attitude because their CHURCH, their DENOMINATION is THEIR God and they are too busy towing the party line(to care WHAT the Bible says)
      Oh, and penal substitution is also essential to SINNERS who realize they are going to HELL and don't want to be there, so they want to know how they can get rid of/be relieved of their burden of sin and guilt and unholiness and unworthiness and condemnation and they get sweet relief when with the eyes of faith, they see the great God and sin Bearer, Jesus Christ, assuming responsibility for all their misdeeds and assuming their debt and PAYING for it on the cross. Devil worships deny penal substitution.
