Although, he holds to what he calls a moderate Calvinism .. If he had followed this self refuting logic to it's end, he would also abandon the penal substitution atonement error as unbiblical.
God's justice is loving justice and not the exacting of penalty due him. It is real forgiveness, deliverance, and cleansing and a restoration to life. How can this be done legally?
God in Christ overcomes evil with good. He fulfills all righteousness by entering into creation, the Son of Man conquered sin, death, and the devil. Demonstrated both the measure of His love and esteem for His Holy Law in condemning sin in the body of His very flesh on the cross pouring out His life's blood for our ransom.
In this, the dominion of sin, death, and the devil are broken and He may provide a provisional amnesty upon all who will believe and receive this great salvation. Providing His Holy Spirit in His body to continue His redemptive work in those who are His.
These too, carrying their crosses. See! -- He died not in their place, but for their sakes.
The atonement is a rescue and ransom .. God absorbed the cost, paid the price to redeem all from captivity. That in His grace He would make a way for loving justice and forgiveness.
That is the way by which He Himself is both just and the justifier, the reconciled and the reconciler, the self sacrificial offerer/offering and the receiver of the sacrifice.
In this, there is no violation or contradiction of His Holiness/Justice and His Love. It is of Grace that both Love and Righteousness have kissed. Hallelujah!
How do we receive it? Repent and believe .. Walk after Him, in the obedience of faith.. A child of the kingdom. They who endure to the end will receive the crown of Life.
The Law of God in Messiah, by grace is written on fleshly tables of the heart that we might keep it. This is the proper and biblical understanding of both.
I count Norman Geisler as a brother in the LORD whose fruits follow him as he went on to be with our King and Redeemer this past 2019 at the full age of 87.
DISCLAIMER: The obedience of faith is the fruit of our salvation and the Sabbath is not abolished. Any one born of God will desire to walk as He walked and have assurance of salvation 'in Him' yet maintain a disposition of soberness, steadfastness, self examination as pertains to that their walk.
