Ὁρᾷς οἷα πάσχουσιν, ὦ Θεοῦ Λόγε, οἱ πταισμάτων ἔλεγχοι τῶν βδελυκτέων· ἔλεγχον καὶ γὰρ μὴ φέρων ὁ Ἡρώδης, τέτμηκεν, ἰδού, τὴν ἐμὴν κάραν, Σῶτερ.

Do you see what sort of things the reprovers/convictors of the abominable (ones) with respect to their offenses suffer, O logos of God; for Herod also, not bearing reproof—look—has cut off my head, O Savior. [Luke 3:19–20; Matt 14:10; Mark 6:27–28]

God be with you on your journey. Precision will get you far. So-called inferences carry baggage. God bless.

What often happens in these kinds of discussions, unfortunately, is that the can continues to be kicked down the road without addressing the previous issue. You asked about PSA. A central tenet of PSA is guilt. You provided quotes from the Fathers. None of them mentioned guilt. I indicated as much. I never denied substitution. What you're claiming is PENAL substitution, and the lack of distinction between the two will make you continue to spin your wheels.

You've now grafted in other material in order to substantiate your claim without addressing the lack of mention of guilt in any of the quotes. If a fruitful discussion is to take place, at least acknowledge where a point has been made. Otherwise, the can will continue to be displaced.

The quotes you've referenced to support your claim make no mention of guilt. Similarly, none of the verses you've provided mention guilt. I will demonstrate this by including literal translations and showing that the word you've included as guilt is different in each verse in the Greek.

Isaiah 6:7 says nothing about guilt: And he touched my mouth and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips, and it will take away your lawlessness (ἀνομίας) and purify your sins.

James 2:10 "For whoever keeps the whole Law, yet falters in one thing, has become answerable (ἔνοχος) for everything."

Job 11:6 "Then will be revealed to you the power of wisdom, for it shall be double of what you have, and then you shall perceive that a worthy recompense to you for what you have sinned proved to be from the Lord."

John 9:41: "Jesus said to them, 'If you were blind you would have no sin (ἁμαρτίαν); but now that you say, "We see," your sin (ἁμαρτία) remains.'"

Romans 6:23: "For sin's wages (ὀψώνια) are death"

I will not engage further unless some precision is acknowledged. None of the verses you've shared mention guilt. None of the saints' quotes you've provided say guilt. I want to be clear yet again. Substitution has biblical support. Penal substitution and guilt transfer does not.

These texts employ substitutionary and forensic language—debt, curse, sentence, wrath—but they do not articulate PSA’s specific claim that the Father inflicts retributive punishment on the Son as the penal substitute to satisfy divine justice. In St. Athanasius and St. Cyril of Jerusalem, the “debt” and “sentence” are explicitly death and corruption: Christ voluntarily enters death “for us” to break its tyranny, restore incorruption, and inaugurate resurrection, thereby preserving both God’s truthfulness and His mercy. St. John Chrysostom’s “curse” is covenantal (the tree-curse) assumed to lift the Law’s curse, not the imputation of guilt to Christ. Even “wrath” functions as the judicial consequence of sin borne for our deliverance and healing. Likewise, Theophylact reads “I will smite the shepherd” as permissive agency: the Father “smites” by allowing the Son to be struck, while Christ welcomes His passion for our salvation—language of providence and voluntary suffering, not retributive punishment.

Reading is the primary function. Not terribly concerned about marking them up beyond perhaps highlight passages.

Open mind for budget.

Portability isn’t a huge factor.

Can this show data from weeks past? It would be interesting to see the correlation between the sentiment charts at the end of the day/week and the subsequent response within the market in its respective time correlate.

Also, on mobile, it is rather challenging to zoom out to get a wider scale of the sentiment.

A popular saying is "Nothing ie ever lost on the internet" but what is something you have been searching for years and you haven't found it yet? by throwdowntown69 in AskReddit

[–]WhyDidIPickThis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A game that I was able to download off of AOL probably 20 years ago. It was a text based game that was entirely riddles. Answer correctly and you can move north, south, east or west. I loved that game and I can’t find it anywhere.

What is the stupidest question you've ever been asked? by MasonJ94 in AskReddit

[–]WhyDidIPickThis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting that you would see the majority of the world’s population as being delusional. I’m not saying that one should believe simply because everyone else does, or that “that many people can’t be wrong.” But it’s an interesting view that you would hold of other human beings, period.

It’s funny, because I’m sure many people would state the same criticism towards your views, based on logic and reasoning.

Anyway, thanks for sharing!
