The New Ransom Atonement Theory
"The Son of Man didn't come to be served,
but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
(Mark 10:45)

Intro: Today is August, 17, 2025. And the Lord told me to write a sequel to "What's Wrong With Our Bibles?" And once you have read what the Scriptures themselves teach: you will understand why I and the early Church believed (in what today is called) "The Ransom Atonement Theory." But I was never taught it! So my reasoning may or may not be like anyone else's? (I really don't know?) Because I never read books on theology; I have always just studied the Scriptures themselves, and asked the Lord to teach me; because that is what 1 John 2:27 says the Holy Spirit will do! "The anointing you have received from him remains in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you, rather that same anointing teaches you all things, and is true and is not a lie." Because as Jesus said, "The Companion, the Holy  Spirit, whom the Father will send [you] in my name, he will teach you all things; and he will bring to your  remembrance everything that I have spoken to you." (John 14:26). So the only time I read theological books is when I am doing research: to find out what other people believe. (And that's why I was SHOCKED a few years ago, when for the first time I started to do research on the various atonement theories: I was shocked, because I discovered that Anslem had such a profound effect on Christian Theology, that today very few Christian still believe in the Ransom Atonement Theory! (Even though for the first 1,100 years of Church History it was THE MAJORITY VIEW!) So since NO ONE is teaching it: I feel that the LORD wants me to TEACH the things He Taught me. Because the Lord said to me, "As in ancient Israel, for a long time they have been without the True God, without a teaching priest, and without law." (2 Chronicles 15:3


As a young Christian, when I read Isaiah 53:10-11, I though, "When it say, 'It pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief' and  'He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied,'it must have pleased the Father in the same way tha it pleased Jesus to go to the Cross, because of the satisfaction they would have from us being saved; because John 3:16 say, 'For God so LOVED the world, that HE GAVE his only begotten Son." Back then I had never even heard of the 'Penal Atonement Theory; so I thought, "That has to be what this verse means: because no other interpretation fits with the rest of Scripture."

Because back in the 70's I had never even heard of the Septuigant, so I didn't know that this verse should actually read, “The Lord desired to cleanse him of the beating" and  The Lord purposed to take away the anguish of his soul, [by] showing him light, to form understanding within him." So even though I wasn't aware that this was how the passage should read; when I would hear a pastor or evangelist teach on the radio, "God poured out his wrath on Jesus on the Cross." I would immediately turn him off, and nevr listen to him again, because I thought, "That's Blasphemy!" (And so this False Teaching has always Angered me!) But unfortunately I let that ANGER come out in the previous articles I wrote, because I see this as an affront against God: because it makes our Loving Heavenly Father appear to be just as bad as the devil; someone who only cares about his own honor and glory, and to hell with everyone else! Which is a contradiction to so many Scriptures that they are too numerous to mention here. (But the Lord is telling me to cool it down now: so I will.) And instead, I will just mention 3  verses:

"But in every nation whoever reverences him and does righteous deeds is accepted by him." (Acts 10:35) For "He has made out of one blood every nation of people to dwell on the face of the whole earth, having pre-determining their fixed times and the fixed boundaries of their habitation; that they should seek God, and perhaps feel their way toward him and find Him." (Acts 17:26-27) But those who teach these false penal and satisfaction theories completely ignore these verses, and many others like them: and istead twist Romans 1:18-32 to make it appear to teach that "God's Wrath is revealed from Heaven against EVERYONE!" Which is not at all what Romans 1:18-32 is teaching, instead it is teaching, "God's Wrath is revealed from Heaven against THOSE WHO HAVE HARDENED THEIR HEARTS AGAINST GOD!"

"For God's intense anger is revealed from heaven against all the irreverence and unrighteousness of people who suppress the truth... Because that which may be known about God is apparent in them; because God has revealed it to them. ...[But] even though they knew God, they didn't glorify him as God...  they exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for a likeness of an image of corruptible man... Because of thisGod gave them over to uncleanness...  [Becausethey exchanged the truth of God for a lie... For this reason, God gave them over to vile passions... BECAUSE since they didn't want to retain God in their knowledge; God gave them over to a debased mind..."

In this passage: God is not speaking of EVERYONE! God is not speaking about people had faults and made mistakes (sinned) like Enoch and Noah, Abraham and Lot, or David and Solomon, or even Gentiles like Abimileck, Rahab the Harlot, or Cornilius the Centirian; even though all of these people had sinned! Yet "GOD CALLED THEM RIGHTEOUS!"  because THEY RESPONDED to the limited knowledge of God had: therefore God didn't even take all of their other sins into account!   (See Romans ---) And that is why Paul would later say in Romans, "When ethnic people....." Because in Romans Paul was trying to point out to these "JEWISH CHRISTIANS" in Rome, "Just because you are a Jew, that doesn't make you are better then anyone else!" (See ----} "Because everyone has sinned, and fallen short of the Glory of God!" (----) "WHAT IS GOD'S GLORY?" Is it THE LAW? NO! IT IS HIS LOVE AND GOODNESS! (See ---) So when people twist these Scriptures, and teach "God's Standard is Perfection! And even one sin will send you to Hell!" they are not speaking the Ttuyj! So when thay say, "Romans 1:18-32 teaches "God's Wrath is revealed from Heaven against EVERYONE!" tHAT IS A LIE!

YET ID IS THESE VERSES THEY USE AS A JUSTIFICATION TO TRY TO PTOVE YJAY GODS WEATH HAD TO BE APPEASES

Finally, as my last act, in refuting these false theories, will be to cast down the Cap-Stone for the  devil's arguements for his theories: 1 John --: and then I will teach the True Ransom Atonement Gospel!
