How does Jesus save? Part Six: Happy Exchange

Last updated on: May 7, 2023 at 6:25 pm   By Ted Peters

Martin Luther's "Happy Exchange" model of atonement is a distinctive variant of the satisfaction and penal substitution models. The exchange applies twice. First on Calvary in the communicatio ideomatum, the exchange of human and divine attributes. The exchange happens a second time in your and my faith, where Christ takes on sin and death and gives us grace and life. Read more

To Eat No-Kill Cultivated Meat. Part Four: Mormon?

Last updated on: August 31, 2023 at 8:20 am   By Ted Peters

Compassion toward non-human animals constitutes full reverence for God's creation, says LDS theologian Lincoln Cannon. The supersedence of no-kill cultivated meat over slaughtered meat would not only put much needed protein on everyone's dinner table, it would show greater respect if not compassion toward the other species in our planet's ecosphere. Read more

How does Jesus save? Part Five: Penal Substitution

Last updated on: August 22, 2023 at 9:08 am   By Ted Peters

The Penal Substitution Theory of Atonement is under fire from multiple directions. Here's one direction: PST is accused of divine child abuse. God abuses the Son by demanding his suffering and death. Is this accusation true? If guilty, then the cross must be redeemed from the myth of redemptive violence. Can anyone sort out this mess? Read more
