This is created with the purpose of swaying people to Substitutionary Atonement which is what the producers believe. I follow a Christus Victor view as it lines up with many parts of the Bible and gives me a more logical and beautiful view of God, but I can understand people having other views. What I don't like is demonizing other views by stating that the Bible is CLEARLY stating x when the Bible supports multiple viewpoints depending on the verses chosen. They also choose some of the more progressive edges to create the greatest contrast and make it clear that they are following the RIGHT path. Even some of the ways they cut the scenes allows them to distort the message of the speaker. Unfortunately this is the case for many trying to make a point, be it global warming, veganism, capitalism, or in this case, substitutionary atonement. One of the pro substitutionary atonement speakers states that the progressives make the mistake of being so certain that their thinking is right, immediately followed by their camp stating that what they believe is clearly right. Less hypocrisy and more humility would do every follower of Christ a bit of good.
