    Who did he pay the debt to?

    And how can there be a opayment made for sin, and have the sinner not benefit from it, as this theory would hold to?

    Some other views don't believe that's necessary, that God requires such.

    Instead of asking all these questions, why don't you just go study the views themselves, and your questions will be answered?

    You obviously have not studied in-depth, or you wouldn't need to ask the questions about the other views that you are asking.

    i have looked them over, its just that none of them seem to fit the biblical mode of the Atonement as well as Substutionary does!

    Would agree that other views are resresented in the Atonement, but the penal view would be the primary aspect of it!

    Of course I disagree, but you are entitled to your opinion.

    Do you believe the scriptures that God has wrath towards sinners?

    that ONLY a sacrifice on their behalf can redeem them?

    That ONE must pay in full the penalty for their sins, or else someone has?

    That withouit the shedding of blood, NO remission for sin?
