Non-divine man left hanging

Non-divine man left hanging

I’m following and enjoying the debate, but feel unqualified to comment on the grammatical nitty-gritty. I’d like to say that I’d agree that Jesus’ humanity needs to be just that. Just humanity. That doesn’t rule out divinity though.

The point of the cross, I think, demands further thought. Although I presuppose substitutionary atonement here, I think the atoning death and resurrection must be of the God-man Jesus, not just a man.

(I appreciate language is difficult to depict, but I hope you understand my point.)

Theocrat et al, could you comment further on what you believe is the point of a non-divine man dying on a cross?
