Self-Justification

Last updated on: December 15, 2022 at 11:16 am   By Ted Peters

What happens when we sin? We draw a line between good and evil. Then, we place ourselves on the good side of the line. On the other side we place the scapegoat. In some cases, we make even God the scapegoat. It's all a lie. God's grace tries to penetrate our lies. This is self-justification at work. Read more

How does Jesus save? Part Seven: Final Scapegoat

Last updated on: May 7, 2023 at 6:24 pm   By Ted Peters

Rene Girard’s theory of Jesus-as-the-final-scapegoat reveals to us that we human beings are liars and killers who rely on a non-existent mechanism of sacrifice. God's grace has a lot to overcome for our forgiveness. Read more
