	Propitiation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Christianity, Propitiation is a theological term denoting that by which God is rendered propitious, i.e., that 'satisfaction' or 'appeasement' by which it becomes consistent with His character and government to pardon and bless sinners.
		In Christian theology, propitiation is the work of Jesus Christ on the cross, by which He appeases the wrath of God(not an emotional response of anger but a moral response of indignation, and conciliates Him who would otherwise be offended by our sin and would demand that we pay the penalty for it.
		Propitiation is not the placating of a vengeful God but, rather it is the satisfying the righteousness judgement of that holy God; thereby making it possible for Him to show mercy, without compromising His righteousness or justice.

	Propitiation What Is It? Bible Study (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Propitiation is an unusual word in today's society, it being confined normally to just a handful of theologians that seem to have little more to do with their time than to use long words that seem to confuse the issue.
		Kittels is concerned to state that '...hilasmos [is] the propitiation of deities, demons, or the departed' in the Greek world but that the word (along with another dissimilar one) '...lose their significance or undergo psychological reinterpretation'.
		Propitiation, therefore, must originate in the love of God as a response to the condition of mankind towards whom God's anger is rightly poured upon.

	Propitiation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The need for propitiation was due to the holy nature of God (Exodus 15:11; 1 Samuel 6:20; Psalm 99:9; Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 15:4) on the one hand, and the sinful nature of man (Romans 3:23; 11:32; Galatians 3:22) on the other.
		He is the Propitiator and has made propitiation by so answering the just demands of God’s holiness against sin that heaven is rendered propitious.

	Propitiation in I John 2:2 by Dr. Gary D. Long
		propitiation is conceived as merely laying a basis for actual forgiveness of sins, and is spoken of therefore rather as "sufficient" than efficacious—becoming efficacious only through the act of faith on the part of the believer, by which he secures Christ as his Advocate.
		John introduces the declaration that Christ is—not "was," the propitiation is as continuous in its effect as the advocacy?our propitiation, in order to support his reference of sinning Christians to Christ as their Advocate with the Father, and to give them confidence in the efficacy of his advocacy.
		The efficacy of the advocacy rests on that of the propitiation, not the efficacy of the propitiation on that of the advocacy.

	Bible Study Letters: Propitiation
		Propitiation refers to that by which God’s wrath is assuaged, i.e., by which it becomes consistent with his character and government to pardon and bless the sinner.

	What is propitiation?
		Propitiation is a two-part act that involves appeasing the wrath of an offended person and being reconciled to them.
		In the New Testament the act of propitiation always refers to the work of God and not the sacrifices or gifts offered by man. The reason for this is that man is totally incapable of satisfying God’s justice except by spending eternity in hell.
		The only satisfaction, or propitiation, that could be acceptable to God and that could reconcile man to Him had to be made by God.

		Propitiation - that by which God is rendered propitious, i.e., by which it becomes consistent with his character and government to pardon and bless the sinner.
		The propitiation does not procure his love or make him loving; it only renders it consistent for him to execise his love towards sinners.
		Christ is "the propitiation," because by his becoming our substitute and assuming our obligations he expiated our guilt, covered it, by the vicarious punishment which he endured.

	Christ, Our Propitiation
		In the Greek, the word "to propitiate" is hilaskomai, which means to appease, to placate, to avert, to turn aside the wrath of an offended person by means of a sacrifice.
		Four things are involved in propitiation: First, there is an offended deity; second, an offending sinner; third, the offense committed; and fourth, the sacrifice which removes the offense and causes the offended person to be gracious to the one who offended him.
		So propitiation means a sacrifice offered to God to turn away his wrath from us and put it on a substitute, that God may be gracious to us and forgive us our sins and restore us to fellowship with him.

	PROPITIATION
		Propitiation is not something that we need to ask God for, nor is it something that we have to request Him to be.
		Propitiation is the "Greek equivalent of the Hebrew "kapporeth," or mercy seat, the lid of the ark of the covenant." (Pardington p 255) The meaning of that close link should drive some young theologians into a detailed study!

		The doctrine of the propitiation is precisely this: that God loved the objects of his wrath so much that he gave his own Son to the end that he by his blood should make provision for the removal of his wrath.
		When you are on top of the truth of propitiation, you can see the entire Bible in perspective, (Especially John 3:16; 1 John 2:2 and similar verses) and you are in a position to take the measure of vital matters which cannot be properly grasped in any other terms.

		The word propitiation occurs but a few times in the New Testament scriptures, yet as presenting to us the redemption work of Christ in its bearing Godward, rather than manward, it is of the greatest possible importance.
		Nowhere are we authorized by Scripture to speak of Christ dying for the sins of everybody in the sense that He was everybody's substitute.

	PROPITIATION
		Thus propitiation in the New Testament must be understood as turning away wrath, not as expiation, that is, making amends for a wrong or nullifying the effects of sin.
		To understand propitiation as expiation is misunderstand the meaning of the "hilaskomai" word group that translates into Greek the Hebrew words with kpr root in the Old Testament.
		It is of the utmost importance that we should understand that propitiation in the crude sense is not possible with the God of Israel, and that the Greek words used reflect this view of the deity.

	Still Reforming: The Bible--without Grace and Propitiation
		Thanks to the ESV Blog for their post today about propitiation (and corresponding link).
		As PJ has so eloquently put it, when the doctrine of propitiation comes under attack, a whole generation of people who don't even know the word have no clue how to defend the doctrine (actually, he puts it more eloquently, but you get the drift).
		Propitiation, for example, certainly includes the idea of atoning sacrifice, but it doesn't specifically tell us anything about atonement being made because God's righteous wrath has been satisfied.

		Luke 18:13 ("God, be thou merciful (margin "be propitiated") to me the sinner" (the American Standard Revised Version margin)); Hebrews 8:12 (quoted from the Septuagint); and Matthew 16:22 (an idiomatic asseveration like English "mercy on us") will help in getting at the usage in the New Testament.
