The Cross: Courtroom or Clinic?

Описание: Is the Cross a legal transaction in a cosmic courtroom, or a divine surgery in a hospital for the soul?

For the first 1,000 years of church history, Christians didn't view the crucifixion primarily as a payment for legal debt. Instead, they saw it as a cosmic victory over death and a restoration of God's shattered image in humanity.

In this video, we take a journey through the history of Atonement theology to understand how our view of the Cross has shifted over 2,000 years. We explore the ancient models of Christus Victor and the Restored Icon, the medieval pivot to Satisfaction Theory, and the modern dominance of Penal Substitution.

Ultimately, we ask the big question: Does your model of the Cross present a God who demands payment, or a God who heals our nature?
