Pastor Sean Finnegan's "Why Did Jesus Die?" - trinities 138

http://trinities.org/blog/podcast-138... Thinking Christians have theorized in many ways about “atonement.” Just what it is about Jesus’s death on the cross that reconciles humans to their maker? Was it a ransom paid to the devil? An example for us to imitate ? A substitution, wherein Jesus absorbed God’s wrath in your place, enabling God to forgive you? A victory over the forces of evil? Or what? In this talk from the 2016 Theological Conference, Pastor Sean Finnegan discusses the biblical data about why Jesus died, and lays out seven options for understanding Jesus’s unique atonement, then criticizing each. At the end, he takes a stab at constructing a theory faithful to the whole biblical witness. Does Pastor Finnegan leave out any important option? And do you agree with his own positive suggestions, presented briefly towards the end? Links for this episode @ http://trinities.org/blog/podcast-138...
