I applaud those who recognize He died for our sins.

Our Lord and Savior did not become a sinner, nor did he wallow in shame and guilt when He was on the Cross.

The article confuses the temptation of sinners before an angry God, who have a tendency to view God from the viewpoint of unrighteousness, anticipating fiery indignation, instead of the perspective of Jesus Christ who disregarded shame, for the joy available in remaining obedient to God the Father.

He wasn’t shameful in His actions or thinking or in His spirit. Throughout the process, He remained faithful to God the Father.

This is not what Isaiah says:

This paints an entirely different picture than someone who simply disregards shame to do the Father's will.

BTW-It's odd that you're using the term that Christ was shamed when you made such a point against that with this author. Don't you see the contradiction in your view between your two statements?
