- Welcome to the Rapid Bull, daily edition, where we provide a quick biblical interpretations and applications.
- 00:12
- This is a ministry of striving for eternity. You know we have hear sometimes from professing atheists that Jesus Christ being put on the cross is some form of cosmic child abuse.
- 00:28
- Now, let us take a look at that argument. The argument is that God the Father putting
- 00:33
- Jesus Christ on the cross as a punishment for others is abusing his son.
- 00:41
- Now, there's a lot of problems with the statement, but they're not usually too good at thinking through those things.
- 00:47
- As we look at this, first off, it assumes that a father cannot be just.
- 00:53
- In other words, I would not want to be the child of a father who says that his role is to give the child everything that they want and there should never be any justice.
- 01:03
- In fact, we must have justice. As parents, we must provide justice to our children.
- 01:10
- They must know right from wrong. Spoiling a child is the worst thing you can do because the child ends up growing up thinking they're entitled to everything and not fitting in well in society.
- 01:21
- Even worse, they think that they don't have to give an account for what they do wrong.
- 01:27
- And therefore, when they stand before God, there is a judgment that they will suffer because they never looked for justice on God's standard but on their own, which would be giving them everything they want.
- 01:40
- Now, what we want to look at next is the fact that Jesus was a willing participant to the cross.
- 01:47
- He wasn't forced to go to the cross. It's something that he chose to do. This podcast is part of the
