im a Christian studying at seminary, my question is do we really need to be saved FROM GOD?!? i believe he exists, i believe i am saved, but not from Gods wrath, but because of his great love.

@kingdomtheology Thanks for your comment. Please read the first chapter of Fifty Reasons Why Jesus Came to Die by John Piper. I didn't know this either for a long time. But it's there in Scripture and it makes total sense. Jesus had to satisfy the Justice of God and uphold God's Holiness by propitiating God's Righteous hatred for sin (1 John 4:10).

@Member35071 Ill be honest john piper is a raving lunatic, read some NT wright, he will get you going. also dont proof text thats a horrible misuse of the scripture.

[Member35071]

@kingdomtheology How is this proof texting? These are exegetical observations from Scripture. Another verse to consider with 1 John 4:10 is John 3:36 - those "who do not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him". Just wrath will be poured out on sinners because God is Holy. It "remains" on those who have not turned to the wrath-absorbing substitute - Jesus, the lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.

@missrockz i think that if you look at this video it is a thought of love. That someone would be willing to step in and take all of the wrath that was deserved for you or I. "What greater love is there than this that a man would lay down his life for another"

I love the dare 2 share video. Defending God is like defending a lion. He doesn't need your help homie, just unlock the cage. We are a very small people with huge heads. And very tiny hearts. On a very tiny little planet. In the middle of a vast expanse. Living for God's glory is the only logical response to this situation.

Praise Jesus, Bitches!!

@kingdomtheology We should have been there (on that cross) Saying you don't need to be saved from God's wrath is essentially saying Jesus' death was meaningless. If you do not know conviction, you do not know sin, if you do not know of your sin, you do not know of repentance, if you do not know of repentance you do not know of Jesus, if you do not know of Jesus, you know nothing. God Bless you and encourage you.

Why does Platt advocate the doctrines of infanticide, genocide, and slavery?

[daboomerang319]

@kingdomtheology "and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come." 1 Thess 1:10. Question? Whose wrath did Jesus deliver us from?

"Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him." John 3:36

People forget about the love when fear i so easy to spread. We have lost siht of our direction. We must spread the thoughts of love.

[jambwiththelamb1]

awesome. One of the best analogies for what jesus did that i have ever heard

[AfroSunGoddess]

@kingdomtheology Sin evokes the wrath of God. So yes you are stepping in line with God and putting yourself under his blessing. Anything out of it is the opposite. But the point is Jesus came to die for our sins he did not come to die for the anger of God. so u are being saved from the chains of sin and away from the curse that comes from a life without God into when the puts him first. I hope that made sense lol

[dancTDC]

by wrath i think he means Justice
