First anyone listens to Younger doesn't know any sound doctrine "absolutely zero". 2nd he is a oneness preacher whixh is anti scripture according to the New Testament and all those young college people following him mostly are people who only shout and operate in mysticism while crying at the altar smh this guy in the video has been saying what I knew about his doctrine since 2019 so let me address his false claim as he so often does on most of his teachings:
The question is: If God paid a ransom, to whom was it paid?
Some people hear that and say, “Well, God paid God.” But that turns the cross into something almost absurd, as if God was standing on one side demanding payment from Himself while standing on the other side making the payment to Himself.
The Bible never says, “God paid a ransom to God.”
What the Bible does say is:
John 3:16 KJV
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
God was not paying Himself off. God was satisfying the demands of His own holy justice while demonstrating His love toward sinners.
Romans 3:25 KJV
“Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;”
Notice the language. The issue is not God owing God money. The issue is God’s righteousness and justice against sin.
The word “ransom” is often used metaphorically in Scripture. A ransom is the price paid to secure release.
Mark 10:45 KJV
“For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.”
The focus is on the price paid for our freedom, not the recipient of a financial transaction.
Think about the children of Israel in Egypt. The blood of the lamb was not paid to Pharaoh. The blood satisfied God’s requirement, and judgment passed over them. The emphasis was never on who received the blood. The emphasis was on what the blood accomplished.
The early church rejected another error that claimed Jesus paid Satan a ransom. That is equally problematic because Satan owns nothing and has no legal claim that God must satisfy.
God owes Satan nothing.
Satan is a rebel, not a creditor.
The cross was not a business transaction between God and Satan.
Nor was it a business transaction where God wrote Himself a check.
The biblical picture is that mankind violated God’s law.
God’s justice demanded judgment.
God’s love desired salvation.
At the cross, Jesus bore the penalty of sin in our place.
2 Corinthians 5:21 KJV
“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”
The Son was not paying the Father off.
The Son was offering Himself as the sacrificial substitute for sinners.
Isaiah 53:5 KJV
“But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.”
The cross is better understood as substitution and propitiation than as “God paying God.”
If someone says, “God made the ransom payment to God,” I would respond:
“That language is not biblical. The Bible teaches that Christ gave His life as a ransom for many, satisfying the righteous demands of God’s justice and reconciling sinners to God. The cross was not God paying Himself money. It was God, through Christ, providing the sacrifice necessary to redeem fallen humanity.”
The danger of the statement is that it reduces the cross to a financial exchange within the Godhead instead of the glorious reality that God Himself provided the sacrifice that His holiness required.
Genesis 22:8 KJV
“And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering.”
At Calvary, God did exactly that. He did not pay Himself. He provided Himself the sacrifice. That is the gospel.
In this video, we will take a look at Bishop SY Younger of the Ramp Church. I hope you enjoy as i review & give a biblical response.🛎️ Don't forget to like,...
