Penal Substitution Hypothetical question
This is an open question - a hypothetical - but specifically addressing @DaveXR650 , @canadyjd and @Martin Marprelate .
The reason is I want to more fully understand what you are saying and exactly where our forgiveness was wrought.
And it is often best to explain what didn't happen in order to understand what did.
Suppose God laid our sins on Jesus, and punished our sins on Him instead of punishing us for those sins. Suppose this was accomplished on the Cross. And when Jesus cried out... -
Will People Be Condemned for Not Believing in Jesus though They’ve Never Heard His Name?
This has always bothered me. Clark Pinnock, who was a founding member of the Evangelical Theological Society, ended up in Open Theism, then one who believed in Annihilationism.
In the book on Open Theism, he said that he could not believe in A God who would condemn people who had never heard the name of Jesus.
I know Jesus said he was the Way. But will there be grace for those who never heard? -

What if we wrote a course on preservation?
I have never taught such a course, but have written a few sets of lecture notes down through the years in preparation for such a course someday. I'll post those notes, and you can feel free to interact, agree, critique, etc. Here is the first set. Please note that this forum does not preserve formatting. The footnote numbers appear as blue, but they don't really link. Look at the bottom for the references.

John 3:16 interpetative translation
Baptists are split on the specifics of John 3:16. When I was young, and the "Bible" was the KJV, we memorized the verse this way: For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, so that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.
1) The first issue is that some thought the verse was saying how much God loved. Now scholars translate the verse to indicate the idea is how or in what manner God loved.
2) Next, the translation of Kosmos (G2889) as world... -

How Does Penal Substitution Relate to Other Atonement Theories?
An article by Stephen J Wellum, Professor of Christian Theology at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.
How Does Penal Substitutionary Atonement Relate to Other Atonement Theories?
Trying to capture all that our Lord Jesus Christ achieved in his glorious work is not easy given its multi-faceted aspects. John Calvin sought to summarize the comprehensive nature of Christ’s work by the munus triplex—Christ’s threefold office as our new covenant head and mediator—prophet, priest, and king.... -
Is Salvation Accepting Jesus Into My Heart?
A few years ago, I read an article that said "Do not tell children to ask Jesus into their hearts." It laid out that salvation was confessing Jesus as Lord and believing in the heart that God had raised him from the dead, not "accepting Jesus into my heart."
Thoughts? -
Does God Hear The Prayers Of The Unsaved?

The Atonement of Christ: What did it REALLY Achieve ? 9
Delivered us from the curse of the Law !
Those Christ died for have been delivered from the curse of the Law, so we read in Gal 3:13
13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
What is the Curse of the Law ? Simply this, Hell, Eternal Separation from God in endless torment ! Its Eternal Misery and Woe, its that being accursed Paul writes of here Gal 1:8-9
8 But though we, or an angel from...
