Theodicy Soteriology, Hermeneutics

THEODICY : M. M. NINAN
However when the vector component opposing the Spirit of this world is more
than what is required for the atonement of sins he will miss the target of God.
This case is shown in fig.11 This is because he will be then acting as God. For
this reason, every High Priest was required to make an atonement for himself
before he took the sin offering for others.
The model offers several interesting features:
1. In this case for example
Fig 112
This is the picture of a
righteous man. The net
resultant is away from the - but
directed not at +. He will
therefore miss the target. He is
still a sinner, because sin is
missing the target.
CONTROLLED BY THE SPIRIT
2. One important result is that the best way to reach God is by
1. Neutralize the spirit in the world with human spirit. Oppose the devil. Stronger
reaction will make you to miss the target. Weaker self will make you move away.
2. Yield to the Spirit of God completely them.
James 4:7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from
you.
Eph. 4:27 and do not give the devil a foothold.
1Pet. 5:8 Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a
roaring lion looking for someone to devour
