Allah’s Need for Human Sacrifice to Appease Hell’s Angelic Ruler Members Public

In this post I am going to prove from the Islamic sources that Allah pays a sacrificial ransom to a created spirit being to procure the release of Muslims from hell. The Command For Blood According to the Quran Allah commanded that all the nations offer blood sacrifices: In them

Muhammad’s Need of A Savior Members Public

The Quran expressly teaches that a sinful person cannot bear the sins of others: Say: “Shall I seek for (my) Cherisher other than God, when He is the Cherisher of all things (that exist)? Every soul draws the meed of its acts on none but itself: no bearer of burdens

Atonement in Luke-Acts Pt. 5 Members Public

I now come to the final segment of my analysis of Luke’s theology of atonement (/2019/10/30/atonement-in-luke-acts-pt-4/). Drinking from the Cup of God and Being Delivered unto the Gentiles Luke provides further clues that Jesus’ death is substitutionary in nature. Christ and his followers spoke of his

Atonement in Luke-Acts Pt. 4 Members Public

I proceed with my examination of Luke’s theology of atonement (/2019/10/29/atonement-in-luke-acts-pt-3/). The necessity of the death of Christ According to the plain teachings of the Lord Jesus and his inspired emissaries, Christ’s death was necessary and had to take place: “He is not here, but

Where’s the Blood? Responding to Another Muslim Ruse Pt. 2 Members Public

I continue from where I previously left off (/2019/09/29/wheres-the-blood-responding-to-another-muslim-ruse-pt-1/). The Lord Jesus continued the tradition of the Hebrew Bible by pointing to the need of substitutionary atonement for the remission of sins. This can be from the following parable of our Lord: “And he spake also unto

Where’s the Blood? Responding to Another Muslim Ruse Pt. 1 Members Public

It’s become fashionable for Muslim polemicists to cite specific biblical texts, which seem to deny the necessity of atoning sacrifices for the forgiveness of sins. The following is one of the passages that Islamic apologists appeal to: “The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not bear the

Where’s The Blood? Isaiah’s Suffering Servant Members Public

In this section (/2019/09/29/wheres-the-blood-responding-to-another-muslim-ruse-pt-2/), I am going to simply quote the clearest Old Testament prophecy that foretells the vicarious, sacrificial death of the Messiah for the sins of the world, and his subsequent resurrection to immortal life and exaltation to glory. The following is taken from Isaiah
