False Doctrine of the "Moral Influence Theory"

The Moral Influence Theory is of the idea that Christ really only died on the cross in order to "melt" the hearts of people. Not as a substitute for our sins. This of course-is clearly a False Doctrine. Some claim it was the dominant theory of the so-called "church fathers" in the late 100's. But if true-so what? That would be nearly a century AFTER the crucifixtion and the apostles. We all know false doctrines were already creeping into the Church. -Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 1 John 4:1

As for His work on the Cross- Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself. Hebrews 7:27
