I never realized how my understanding of the Atonement (I wasn’t even sure what that was) affected everything in my life. From how I did evangelism to how I parented my young children. To gain a proper understanding of the Atonement is to gain a better understanding of God and how He deals with Mankind.
In this 3-CD set, David challenges the universally held and young (only dating back to the 11th century) interpretation of the atonement. David logically and simply explains the historic view exposing a view of Jesus’ suffering and teaching that makes me love him more and live more holy for Him. I never realized that such a small thing like a different interpretation was having such a wide spread impact on my life. Riveting, challenging, humbling and very enjoyable.
“What? We’ve had the same Bible for 2 thousand years but don’t know what the church originally knew it to mean? Ridiculous!” At least that’s the frequent reaction I get when speaking on this subject. The teaching on this CD set has deeply changed my life – FINALLY I have an answer to “Why did Jesus die?” that’s far more harmonious with Scripture. Although I thank God for this particular teaching, I’m still hoping that the Lord will lead David to “write a book on the subject” to answer more related questions.
This teaching is not only not helpful but is completely false in its teachings on the bible and the early church. A quick look at what the bible teaches and what the early Christians actually said will quickly reveal that Bercot’s teaching is not true. I will end by warning those who buy this product to carefully discern whether or not Bercot’s teachings line up with what the scripture has clearly revealed.
This has provided me with incredible realizations about the cross of Christ. I am seeing it like I have never seen it before. I think I never understood it until now, how deeply heroic Jesus was, and his heroism was driven by intense love and devotion to us. I see it so clear now. We were taken captive by pure evil and he paid a brutal and cruel ransom price that Satan demanded and personally devised. I should tell you that the cross always seemed so self-inflicted and even self-deluded to me; I thought there was something wrong with me because it never made sense to me; I was never inspired by it under the Satisfaction model. After fully understanding the ransom model I am deeply moved and inspired in a way that I can’t fully describe. Jesus paying the ransom is the most powerfully astonishing act of heroism that I could ever imagine. He is my hero and my King … With weapons of righteousness I will fight for him and die for him with all my strength. I get it now! Thank you David Bercot!! If you haven’t studied the ransom understanding of the Atonement please do so immediately!
