The Acquittal of God


Book Description

Many Vietnam veterans felt and, in fact, still feel rejected by their God and the church and betrayed by their nation and even their families. Using themes from Dietrich Bonhoeffer's theology, Uwe Siemon-Netto explores the veterans' situation and argues for God's acquittal of the charge of abandoning the veterans during and after the war.




The Judgement of Jesus = the Acquittal


Book Description

Hebrews 9.27-28 says, 'And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment, so Christ [Messiah] was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for Him shall He appear a second time without sin unto salvation.' Now, after reading the title, 'The Judgment of Jesus = the Acquittal, ' a Christian may say, 'Hey, Jesus was the Son of God; He did not need any kind of Acquittal;' and, from my little dealings with some Jewish brethren, Jesus is considered to have been a Prophet who suffered a horrible death; and was an accursed prophet. Now, if the Jewish brethren are right, Jesus would need from God, an Acquittal. To address the two different opinions, let's refer to the writings of Paul, the Apostle in Galatians 3.13. He writes, "Christ [Messiah] has redeemed us from the curse of the law [Torah], having become a curse for us, for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree" [Deut. 21.23]. Therefore, if what the Apostle Paul says is true--that Christ became a curse for us--then Jesus would need from God an acquittal, because to be cursed equals damnation. According to 2 Peter 1:20-21, it says, "knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit." Therefore, by using the Word of God, and some Prophets' lives as examples, I will attempt to bring to light, through this book, the revelation of this vision: 1) Jesus, the anointed of God, 2) His judgment after death [according to Hebrews 9:27]; and 3) His ultimate Acquittal.

Book Description

At most trials, an acquittal is reached when the judge or jury determines that there is not sufficient evidence to convict. Believers are acquitted because on Christ Jesus God placed the blame of the trespass. Jesus was sentenced to death by crucifixion. On the cross, every man trespass was placed. When Satan tries to accuse a believer of committing a trespass, God ignores him because Jesus took the blame for the human race.







God's Glory in Salvation through Judgment


Book Description

In Exodus 34 Moses asks to see God's glory, and God reveals himself as a God who is merciful and just. James Hamilton Jr. contends that from this passage comes a biblical theology that unites the meta-narrative of Scripture under one central theme: God's glory in salvation through judgment. Hamilton begins in the Old Testament by showing that Israel was saved through God's judgment on the Egyptians and the Caananites. God was glorified through both his judgment and mercy, accorded in salvation to Israel. The New Testament unfolds the ultimate display of God's glory in justice and mercy, as it was God's righteous judgment shown on the cross that brought us salvation. God's glory in salvation through judgment will be shown at the end of time, when Christ returns to judge his enemies and save all who have called on his name. Hamilton moves through the Bible book by book, showing that there is one theological center to the whole Bible. The volume's systematic method and scope make it a unique resource for pastors, professors, and students.
