"Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that hangeth on a tree" (Galatians 3:13) I was talking with some Muslim friends the other day about this scripture. And they raised the objection, how could a holy God be...

Hello everyone, I have been having some discussions with some Muslim friends of mine about the gospel and justice, and here was an interesting objection they raised, which is difficult to answer in a satisfactory way. In bringing up the analogy of standing guilty before a judge to assert that...
