Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; And he is thepropitiation for our sins: and not for our's only, but also for the sins of the whole world. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. These are the three uses of the word propitiation. Dictionary .com defines it as; propitiation \Propi`tia"tion\, n. [L. propitiatio: cf. F. propitiation.] 1. The act of appeasing the wrath and conciliating the favor of an offended person; the act of making propitious. 2. (Theol.) That which propitiates; atonement or atoning sacrifice; specifically, the influence or effects of the death of Christ in appeasing the divine justice, and conciliating the divine favor. He [Jesus Christ] is the propitiation for our sins. --1 John ii. 2. Source: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary, © 1996, 1998 MICRA, Inc. As you can see it is I that am using the word correctly , and in context, You on the other hand seem to want to redefine it to mean an act of mercy? Am I missing something?
