Conclusion: Isaiah 53 clearly teaches that Christ suffered in our place as a sacrifice bearing our sin, bringing atonement so we receive his righteousness. Those who call PSA wicked are confused by caricatures — if the doctrine is so bad, why must they misstate it to argue against it?

Winger's conclusion: in the sacrificial context of the OT, Isaiah 53 clearly teaches Christ suffered in our place as the sacrifice bearing our sin to bring atonement, so we receive his righteousness. Those who reject PSA do so primarily because they think the concept itself is pagan/immoral — but they always restate it incorrectly ("God mollified by throwing virgins into a volcano"). "If it's so bad, why can't you say what it really is?" The anti-PSA crowd includes a huge variety: some are universalists, some believe in salvation by works, some have nuanced alternatives. Orthodox traditions often reject PSA. Q&A covers: guilt driving you TO God not away from God, why we won't sin in heaven (glorified bodies without sin nature), and the fruit of the Spirit being self-control (not loss of control).
