… is too limited in its significance but he shuts out the wider meanings such as redemption and reconciliation that the word so obviously bears. He suggests that the word ‘satisfaction’ means what is actually expressed by ‘atonement’ but which meaning Pink does not find in the kipper group of words relating to ‘atonement’. Actually ‘satisfaction’ is the word most Liberals jump on to explain the atonement as it is easier to put any meaning into it. Nowadays, …

Pink on Satisfaction
Aug 18
… dead orthodoxy and state-controlled religion, affirming the necessity of personal, subjective reconciliation with God. This Liberal-Arminian ‘British Religion’ was seen as a patriotic bulwark against the tyranny of legalism under Napoleon. After the 1848 Revolution piety again took preference over patriotism and Dissenters such as J. G. Oncken and Evangelicals of the Establishment such as F.W. Krummacher condemned the British Liberalism from their pulpits which had served political …
Christian Bennett’s Review
Aug 15
… Bennett totally ignores the context in which I place Pink, i.e. Hervey’s great teaching on reconciliation. As I added an explanatory footnote to my comment on Pink on reconciliation and used my comments on page 332 to introduce Hervey’s own words on the subject, one wonders how Bennett can possibly have thought I was speaking about eternal justification. I certainly did not scold Pink for not believing that doctrine. For all I know, he probably did.
Finally, Bennett’s …
… Christ’s work is:
“to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.”
This was to be the theme of my next and last brief article on sin which I could not fully develop through ill health. With brother Burrows’ help, however, this great truth has been re-affirmed, proving a fitting end to my series.

For Whom did Christ Die?
Oct 5
… was not enough. In dying for His people, Christ purchased not only their redemption but also their reconciliation with God. The Universalists, however, only teach a one-sided reconciliation, i.e. that of God being reconciled to man, which is no reconciliation at all because a reconciliation is always of at least two parties. Where man is not reconciled to God, Christ’s work of reconciliation was in vain. That is if Christ had died to reconcile all men everywhere. The Bible, however, …
Come and Welcome Letter
Nov 11
… Fullerism. In Come and Welcome, Bunyan reveals the fallacy of Fullerism regarding atonement, reconciliation, imputed righteousness, law, gospel, justification and eternal security.
The BOT’s counterfeit Bunyan is said to practise “the free offer of salvation to sinners without distinction” but the real Bunyan denies this, arguing that “no rational man in the world will conclude” that John 6 refers to all and not some. Bunyan explains that a conditional call would …
Letter on Atonement
Dec 28
… work is described as “to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sin, and to make reconciliation for iniquity and to bring in everlasting righteousness.”
One does not limit the meaning of ‘atonement’ by reading ‘at-one-ment’ into the term. Understanding where the word comes from shows that the limitations are on the side of critics who view ‘at-one-ment’ as separate from justification, forgiveness of sins, redemption, adoption and sanctification. This …
The Atonement
Aug 17
… the original languages found it particularly difficult to translate words to do with atonement, reconciliation, propitiation, expiation and justification which are all closely linked in meaning. Perhaps his eagerness to make the translation really English caused him to reject Latin words which could have been employed usefully. Tindale looked for words which expressed matters of fact rather than use the current literary English vocabulary of fable, fantasy and fairy story. He could …
Review of Amyraut Affirmed
Sep 15
… that Christ’s work is “to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation, and to bring in everlasting righteousness,” indicating that Heaven’s doors are opened through Christ’s redeeming work. Neither 1 John 2:2 nor Daniel 9:24 point to Clifford’s theoretical universalism or his self-contradicting god. There is nothing theoretical about Christ’s putting an end to sin! The Synod of Dort men, whom Clifford mistakenly adorns with Amyraldian …
Clifford’s New Reformation
Dec 11
… his false Protestantism. Clifford’s atonement is not the Biblical-Reformed doctrine on which our reconciliation, redemption, justification and sanctification are built. The Bride for whom Christ died is redeemed, justified and sanctified in one synergistic action, impossible to be divided. The corollary to Clifford’s Hyper-Amyraldian idea of atonement is thus his faulty view of justification and sanctification. Clifford rejects our Reformers’ doctrine of justification with its causative …
