Brandon Kimbrough with us today in the Christian worldview, the creator of the American gospel films. Brandon will just one final soundbite from the film and having to do with the progressive Christian's rejection of the wrath of God. The atonement they redefine that term everything you been talking with is a redefinition of orthodox biblical Christianity is a battle for terms what they mean.

But here's audio talking about God's wrath and justice. This, as John MacArthur in it. Again, Bart Campolo, who is now become a secular humanist and Paul washer. The biblical Christian as well. Every sin ever committed by every person was ever live will be punished. That is required by divine holiness and divine righteousness and divine justice. The idea of justice, like punished the weekend to redeem. It will either be punished everlastingly in the life of the sinner impenitent unbelieving sinner or that punishment will be borne by Christ. John MacArthur might be right about that's not a God worthy of my worship is not interested in the first of all you need to understand something God's wrath is not like ours. Our wrath is primarily self-centered it's it's coercive it's unrighteous God's wrath is pure and it is the result of his love that which is right. If you love that which is right you will hate evil.

If you love life, you will hate death, if you love African-Americans you will hate slavery. If you love children you will hate abortion. If you love Jews you will hate the Holocaust. Why is it that we reserve the right is fallible human beings to burn with indignation when we see an injustice.

And yet we say.

If God does the same thing that somehow morally beneath him. His love is fierce, and in the same degree and his wrath is against is a really powerful, thereby Paul washer Brandon explain how this issue of God's love and wrath are so commonly misunderstood, and also by taking it a step further by their progressive court." Christians, how they rejected God who is full of wrath. He will punish every sin and who will sentence people to hell for rejecting his son just as we talked about the love versus justice thing wrath.

As Paul washer said is God's hatred of evil and the reason why he has a hatred of evil is because he loves righteousness. He is righteous. There is a scripture that says love must be sincere.

Hate what is evil or a poor word is evil and that's true for us as humans when we see injustice and that's true for God.

It seems logical that those attributes are opposites there pretty tied together and make logical sense, even apart from what Scripture says, but of course what Scripture says matters most and we see God. We see his wrath and his grace in both the Old Testament and New Testament. So it's not that he is changed over time. It was my God of wrath.

In the Old Testament, and now he's a God of grace and love in the New Testament know he he shows all those attributes on both sides of the divide
