Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does this idea bother you? God accepted the suffering death of Jesus to satisfy His justice—that is, His requirement of the penalty of death for every human missing of the mark. Would you like a solid and biblically correct reason to believe in the goodness of God? The truth of the gospel message is simple. You don't have to be especially educated or smart to understand it. The Bible does not hide it. But Church tradition has built a paradigm surrounding the cross that is hard to escape. Would you like to try? The Bible is a perfect puzzle. In order to put it together, no pieces can be squeezed or stretched. They must slip easily into place. Nobody has any more authority to put the pieces in place than anybody else. They just have to fit.
