About Me

My photo
I am a pastor and a clinical psychotherapist. My life's passion is defining healthiness from a human perspective and paralleling it to the holiness of God, divine perspective. Shifting perspectives creates a paradigm that is alongside of rather than over and against. The parakalein of God and the paradoxes of humanity are redefined. Humanity is all about winning and yet we are losing ground everywhere. Divinity is all about letting go of the desire to win and the fear of loss. The Divine embraces the world with loving care regardless of anything.

Atonement or Atunement

Posted by Don Paine


Substitutionary atonement is about appeasing the wrath of God Transformational atonement is about pleasing the heart of God by being willing to be sacrificed to the anger and wrath of humanity to transform it and place it in the human heart, the very heart of God".  Placing this mind which was in Christ inside of me (Philippians 2:6)

God sent his son not to atonement for the sins of humanity for they were already forgiven in the heart of God.  God sent his son to atunement  of humanity to the need to sacrifice what we want to hold on to to get what is already holding on to us from the inside:  God's love and peace holding us loosely and firmly from the inside.
