You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d have a point about McLaren if it wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t for the fact that he has consistently attacks the doctrine of Christ\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Penal Substitutionary Atonement.<\/p>\n
In his book \u00e2\u20ac\u0153a new kind of Christian\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he likens it to cosmic child abuse. There is a recurring pattern and history with McLaren regarding Christ\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s death on the cross and that patter is to re-imagine, redefine it and steer us away from what the scriptures clearly teach on it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You mean to tell me you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think the cross exposed \u00e2\u20ac\u0153the cruelty and injustice of those in power?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
