The Jericho Connection | Did God Unleash His WRATH Upon Jesus On The Cross? The Disturbing Calvinist View of Atonement @thejerichoconnection3473 | Uploaded September 2023 | Updated October 2024, 12 hours ago.
In this video we review a clip of famous Protestant apologist John MacArthur, who explains the Calvinist view of Jesus' atonement on the Cross. MacArthur claims that on Calvary God brought hell on earth and unleashed his wrath on his Son. But is that so? When we say that Jesus died and suffered for our sins, do we mean that God punished Jesus instead of punishing us? Is that the right understanding of atonement? Why would God punish his innocent Son? Wouldn't a judge that punishes an innocent person be the very definition of "unjust judge"? How can God be perfectly just if he punishes an innocent knowing he is innocent? And it is true that, to appease God's wrath, the only way is to have it unleashed upon someone, no matter who that someone is? The disturbing Calvinist view of atonement turns God into a psycho Nazi.
