Atonement 05/03/20 (Sun) 08:18:45 b4b06c No.832634

Can someone explain why God requires a sacrifice for sin if the just King in the Parable of the Unforgiving Servant, representative of Christ & God, is able to pardon freely, without any apparent loss of justice? I never understood this. So far, the only way I am able to understand the atonement is mystically, in the eastern sense. I can't make any judicial sense of it. I.E. The King in the Parable isn't less just because he freely pardons his servant without penalty. Indeed, that he freely pardons seems to be precisely the reason he is held up by Christ as the paragon of righteousness. So what gives?

It's almost like there's a pattern here.

Parables are allegorical. That parable doesn't touch on propitiation because it has a different objective.

God requires sacrifice for sin because he is perfectly holy and we are not. He freely pardons sins via applying the sacrifice of Jesus to our accounts.

Isaiah 1:18

“Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.

I am befuddled by Op's question. Is this question about Matthew 18:33-34 ??

<33 Then his lord called him; and said to him: Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all the debt, because thou besoughtest me:

<34 And his lord being angry delivered him to the tormentors till he paid all that was owing to him.

This is about forgiving the sins of those who have sinned against you. It's in the Lords Prayer: "Forgive us our Trespasses as we forgive those who trespassed against us"

I often struggle with this. I don't like what some people have done to me but I think I've forgiven them.

>Christ & God

Kinda redundant. Is this meant to be Christ and God the Father?

In the parable we see that the lord is unwilling to forgive the unforgiving servant. So, the lord in the parable is willing to forgive some but not others, and he is not willing to forgive one who has acted unmercifully himself.

Likewise, God is willing to show mercy on those who have acted in accordance with his standards. The only one who has done so is Christ. We have all failed, we have acted unmercifully, but Christ has acted mercifully so the only way we can be justified is through Christ our Advocate.

No, nobody can explain the mysteries of God. Those who pretend they can are just prideful.

You wish for an answer that any lie can give you. Rather than truth you wish to be at peace with an answer.

No answer can give you what you seek.
