I was expecting to hear your full take.

Yom kapur
Edward J. Kilmartin:
Sacrifice is not, in the first place, an activity of human beings directed to God and, in the second place, something that reaches its goal in the response of divine acceptance and bestowal of divine blessing on the cultic community. Rather, sacrifice in the New Testament understanding – and thus in its Christian understanding – is, in the first place, the self-offering of the Father in the gift of his Son, and in the second place the unique response of the Son in his humanity to the Father, and in the third place, the self-offering of believers in union with Christ by which they share in his covenant relationship with the Father.
Where is bible verse saying Wrath of God is on Jesus.
How would selfish minded people know anything about making Jesus suffer?
If I wanted to put the worst wrath on Jesus, do I hurt him or would I hurt those he cares for?
Which is going to put you in real anguish? Someone comes and beats you up, or someone comes and beats the one next to you?
God didn't punish Jesus, <----- What is going to echo through God can do what he wants, God didn't punish us, Wrath of God is great, God deserves to punish us. ect,ect. Fact remains God never punished Jesus. -

Its important that we don't make up rules not found in the bible.
If God's wrath fell a Jesus that would have been least two chapters long. No where not one verse not one lick. -
In the first three chapters of Romans, Paul makes the argument that everyone, Jew and Gentile alike, is under the condemnation of God and deserving of His wrath (Romans 1:18). Everyone has sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). All of us deserve His wrath and punishment. God in His infinite grace and mercy has provided a way that His wrath can be appeased and we can be reconciled to Him. That way is through the sacrificial death of His Son, Jesus Christ, as the payment for sins. It is through faith in Jesus Christ as God’s perfect sacrifice that we can be reconciled to God. It is only because of Christ’s death on the cross and His resurrection on the third day that a lost sinner deserving of hell can be reconciled to a holy God. The wonderful truth of the gospel is that Christians are saved from God’s wrath and reconciled to God not because “we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins” (1 John 4:10).

Nothing about God's wrath on Jesus. Although "got questions" do believe in penal substitution. -

I keep asking you folks for bible text and you got nothing.
Catching on fire is a bad thing, If a fireman saves you from fire nothing in the rules says he has to toast for you.
Wrath of God on you is a bad thing, If Jesus saves you from fire that doesn't mean he got toast himself.
What you guys are doing is called READING INTO THE TEXT. pushing your philosophy into the bible.
NOTHING in the bible simply says God let his wrath out on Jesus. SHOW ME THE VERSE!
You can't because its not there. You won't because its not there. Show it to me. -

What is allowed here and other boards is completely up to those who manage it. I have no criticisms of this board.
My experience in posting tells me that when a Christian (or anyone) has to resort to name-calling, their position is bankrupt. Scripture speaks to our behavior with other believers.
James 1:26King James Version (KJV)
26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
Colossians 4:5-6English Standard Version (ESV)
5 Walk in wisdom toward outsiders, making the best use of the time. 6 Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person.
Unbelievers may be watching. What kind of message are we sending them?

Christ lived a righteous life on our behalf. This was a NECESSITY. Christ could have been born, God could have had Him stuck down by Herod, and hey an atonement, but that's not what happened, Isaiah 53 pretty much explains the gospel, which is remarkable, no wonder it's called the 5th Gospel. When John said "It is you who should be baptizing me", Jesus said "No it must be so that I FULFILL ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS", what? Christ had to fulfill all righteousness, for Him? No, FOR US.
Two, Christ died for the elects sin. "I lay down my life for my sheep". "I pray NOT FOR THE WORLD, but for those you gave me". On the cross, the great fulfillment of all the glorious OT prophecies, (Sorry getting excited), God placed the sins of the elect on Christ, which seems unjust except when we understand Jesus volunteered to take the punishment for our sins. "But wait one objects, our punishment is eternal, Jesus suffered some three hours under the Fathers wrath". True, but He IS ETERNAL, 3 hours was sufficient for Him to feel the grief of each and everyone of our sins.
If Jesus merely removed our sins, we'd be back to square one, like Adam, innocent without sin, but Paul EXHAUSTS THE SUBJECT in Romans, we, in addition to have no sins to our account, are given a "Foreign Righteousness", God applies through the Holy Spirit into each believer Christs righteousness.
What now? Now, for me, all my sins are paid for, AND Christs righteous life is imputed, accounted to me. It's called the "Great Exchange", our sins to Christ, His righteousness to us, if you are a believer. If you believe not your sin remains, and you will be judged on that great day.
Look at my moniker and read it, so true and GLORIOUS! Man, on the side of the devil, living in rebellion to God, yet while we were sinning, God, who had no need of man, man whose only deserts are destruction, sent His son out of glory into the form of human flesh, learn and live a sinless life, suffer more than any man in his life, being that pure and seeing rebellion everywhere, being tested in all ways yet without sin, then going through with it, oh PRAISE PRAISE PRAISE GOD, He took upon His body our sins, God judged them, AND THEY WILL NEVER BE JUDGED AGAIN, then God does what the OT Jews couldn't even look upon, the glory of God, put into our hearts, how can we be condemned? By Christ? He died for us, by the Father? He put our sins on His son, by the Spirit? No He lives in us and is our advocate, we are truly free if we are in Christ, FREE. And though now under the Angelic realm, our brother and King Jesus is bringing us up to His realm, it's just so glorious, so amazing, why are we not rejoicing in this alone, always?
IT IS COMPLETE, DONE, now if you are in Christ go live for Him, thank Him, try to glorify Him, forget your sins, focus on Christ and if you sin confess it to HIM, not to some sick priest, and go on. Just have faith in God, love your brothers and you will live, and NEVER COME INTO CONDEMNATION -
"This was a NECESSITY."
No such thing as necessity with God. He didn't have to do it in any particular way. God doesn't need anything.
Matthew 3
9and do not suppose that you can say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham for our father’; for I say to you that from these stones God is able to raise up children to Abraham.
John 3
18“He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Jesus Christ states the guy who is damned is the guy who doesn't believe Jesus died for him.
Yet Calvinist would say Jesus didn't die for the guy who is damned........Well then that means the damned reprobate is telling the TRUTH!
1 john 5
10The one who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself; the one who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning His Son.11And the testimony is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 12He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life.
Again same as last verse, except here it clearly says the damned person is calling GOD a LIAR if he doesn't believe Jesus died for him.
Simple question if a damned reprobate says Jesus Christ did not die for him is he a LIAR or HONEST?
Question #2 IS common sense the last thing a elect person regenerates? -

I also believe I would be in MORE trouble with God if I were "RIGHT" holding spite against you.
The claim is there is a verse where God decrees, judges and states "all mankind deserves hell".
So naturally its a matter of pointing out the verse.
If that verse is not there when they say it is, does that make them a liar?
A rose by any other name is still a rose.
Its very true people attack character when they can't attack the content. Sometimes It takes a lot of humility to utter the truth, "that verse does not exist". -
