I've often heard the argument that New Testament Scriptures present a merciful and loving Savior incompatible with the God of strict judgment depicted in Old Testament Scriptures. God found a way. He acted with righteous mercy. Jesus paid the death penalty for us on a cross. And He offers us forgiveness.
Substitution seems antithetical to our contemporary notion of justice.
If we will accept Christ's payment for our transgressions, we begin to know this loving and just Creator. All rights reserved.
