Rethinking the Cross: Q&A on the Atonement

Rethinking the Cross: Q&A on the Atonement

Author: Jerry Robinson April 23, 2025 Duration: 26:52
Got questions about the atonement?

In this bonus episode of The Gospel of Peace, Jerry Robinson returns to answer some of the most pressing questions that have come in since the release of our three-part series on the atonement.

Questions like:
  • Doesn’t Isaiah 53:10 say it pleased the Lord to crush Jesus?
  • How do you reconcile Hebrews 9:22 with the idea that God doesn’t need blood to forgive?
  • Isn’t God’s justice retributive? Doesn’t sin demand punishment?
  • Why do the apostles use sacrificial language at all?
And more…With clarity, humility, and a Christ-centered focus, Jerry walks us through these objections, always returning to the image of God revealed in Jesus: a God of love, mercy, restoration, and victory over sin and death.

This episode is for the honest seeker, the curious skeptic, and the follower of Jesus longing to make sense of the cross without compromising God’s goodness.

The Gospel of Peace: Rediscovering the Nonviolent Way of Jesus releases November 30, 2026.

Hosted by the True Riches Academy, The Gospel Of Peace offers a space for deep conversation about a Christianity centered on radical, nonviolent love. This isn't about rehearsing familiar doctrines; it's an invitation to grapple with the challenging teachings of Jesus, particularly around violence, conflict, and what it means to truly love an enemy. Each episode, whether a teaching, a personal reflection, or a guest interview, pushes against conventional views on war and power, proposing a transformative path rooted in the peace of Christ. The dialogue is for anyone-believer, skeptic, or simply the curious-who feels that faith must offer more than passive agreement or cultural endorsement. By engaging with scripture and its practical implications in a broken world, this podcast seeks to reframe discipleship as an active, courageous pursuit of reconciliation. Tune in for thoughtful discussions that don't shy away from complexity, aiming to equip and inspire a more faithful, peaceful way of living.
