Re: The Suffering God
Again, you said:
[ QUOTE ]
The author presents a radically new theological idea that God's Suffering on the cross was not an atonement for human evil but more of an atonement for God's allowing evil in the world.
[/ QUOTE ]
The word atonement means " Amends or reparation made for an injury or wrong; expiation." The implication of your statement, since the atonement is for something God did, is that God did something wrong.
Again, if you don't think God is evil, just say so.
