Hi D, ho neighbor:)

His error in my view is that God does indeed require the fulfillment of justice, because justice is integral to His being, and he cannot compromise that without compromising Himself. The passage from Romans 3 that I posted says just that. The fact that He accomplished that all by Himself through the divine Son, is indeed an act of grace towards us but it is not only that. Perhaps I am being overly critical but I think it's an important distinction to make.

24being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, 26to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. Romans 3:24-

Hope this helps

Have a good day I'm back to work now.
Greg

Thanks, David. The question is, how do we understand the meaning of the Crucifixion, if God could simply have forgiven us?
