What I got excited and sort of liberated by, was that realization that the early church didn’t concern themselves with this. That the only reason we were sitting there having the discussion about ‘the atonement’ was because someone somewhere along the line decided it would be fun to dissect and make formula out of the mystery of the cross. Peter, Paul, John and James didn’t deem it necessary to teach on this, why should I?

There’s a lot of relief and rest in realizing that much of what modern Christians argue about, is just nonsense to begin with. Thank you for simplifying this so very well.
