Re: The strange endurance of substitutionary atonement doctrine

Hi Seeker,
I'm curious about your view of the atonement is. What do you believe the atonement accomplished and how did it do so? Your analogy
("Imagine a group of rotten kids in your neighborhood. How illogical would it be to attempt to remove their rottenness in the act of slaying an innocent child?") doesn't seem to work with any of the most prominent models explaining the atonement:
Christus Victor
Moral Influence
Satisfaction (of debt owed)
Penal Substitution
Is your view somehow different than the four listed above?
Thanks
