You exploited my words to produce your spinning slander. It was dishonest and I don't apologize for telling you it was dishonest.
it was the exploitation like a seasoned lawyer in a court using words to push a point not admitted by the original speaker. "Weasel word" is what we called it in my class of "Law of Business Contracts".

Do you actually believe this verse? If not, then you are a hypocrite.
And if so, then do you believe the very next verse?
"Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls." -- James 1:21, KJV
I didn't think so. And neither do those who thumbed your post down.
The point is, Sonship 'does' believe it and it is he who sought to justify his insults by saying he was 'provoked.' Something that doesn't play out so well with, 'human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.'

So much could be said about seeing Christ in the burnt-offering. But a little should be said about the other four offerings and how they also point to Christ.
The meal offering - Lev. 2:1-16
The law of it - 6:14-23
Christ as the fine beautiful human living of perfect humanity for us.
The peace offering - Lev. 3:1-17
The law of it - 7:11-38.
Christ for us as the peace towards God and peace towards man. Christ solving the problem of man's enmity against God. Man is not only not for God, but worse, he has become the enemy of God. Christ is the peace-offering removing this hostile enmity vertically and horizontally.
The sin offering - Lev. 4:1-35.
The law of it - 6:24-30.
This is Christ dealing with the nature of sin.
The infestation of the corrupt Satanic poisoning can only be solved by Christ. This offering is about solving the problem of man's sin nature from the fall.
The trespass offering - Lev. 5:1-6:7
The law of it - 7:1-10.
This is Christ solving the problem of our specific transgressions, our specific instances of sinning, our specific and particular actions of sinning against God.
Christ is the answer to these five problems of man towards God and one another:
We are not for God.
Our humanity is ruined.
We are enemies of God.
Our nature has been corrupted.
Our specific trespasses need to be dealt with.
What a Christ!
What an all-inclusive and thorough Savior Christ.

"But the lost will glorify Him with their endless woe. They will be hung out in chains of punishment as an example to deter other worlds."

I said before that culture influences language.
New experiences in God's salvation give rise to a new culture in which expressions and definitions may be enhanced or varied.
Glory is God expressed. You don't like it because Websters may not indicate that definition. The Bible however, ushering men into a new culture on earth, may require typical words which need some enhancement or expansion.
You can't play the Webster's Dictionary Card to invalidate the experience of God. Sorry.
