Consequence 4 of denying wrath: hollows out the meaning of the cross

Why God's Wrath is Good 00:25:46 – 00:26:48

Mike connects wrath to soteriology and the atonement.

A fourth consequence is that removing wrath renders the cross incomprehensible. If God has no wrath, the categories of judgment, salvation, and propitiation become meaningless puzzle pieces. Penal substitutionary atonement — Christ bearing the wrath of God on behalf of sinners — requires the reality of divine wrath. Without it, the cross is diminished.

Was God’s wrath satisfied in Christ? If so then how can sinners suffer God’s wrath in hell? This question is one that is often asked by Calvinists to those who do not hold to the teaching of Calvinism.

Scripture Commentary article

Obedience is not a secondary issue

The article argues that the restriction on women serving as pastors, grounded in 1 Timothy 2:12, is not a secondary or debatable theological issue but a plain obedience issue. The author contends Paul's prohibition is rooted in creation order (not culture), making it transcultural and non-negotiable, and that egalitarian interpretations require "obliterating" what Paul plainly says. The piece ends with a challenge to egalitarians: what does obedience or disobedience to this passage actually look like?
