The New Testament word, pr...Good question, Carolyn.<br />The New Testament word, propitiation, carries the meaning of both removing a problem and of providing a benefit. But there’s more. When God makes propitiation for man, He does it because He loves, and so He can lavish that love unabated upon man—at full strength. Consider the following: <br /><br />“In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.” 1 John 4:9-10<br /><br />Don’t you love that? That’s God! And that’s God for us.Ralphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13191358912351995744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34075051.post-47008551765438282642012-07-12T23:28:07.034-06:002012-07-12T23:28:07.034-06:00Ralph doesn't propitiate mean appease ... to w...Ralph doesn't propitiate mean appease ... to win someone's favor, conciliate, make peace, reconcile, resolve differences ... so propitiation in this context means ....?? just asking not challenging or arguing.Carolyn Kistnernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34075051.post-31599717771884622542012-07-12T18:55:04.999-06:002012-07-12T18:55:04.999-06:00I know all about religion and flesh and the toxic ...I know all about religion and flesh and the toxic junk that produces.
