I would consider ANYTHING from such a site suspect. If they get that paramount core issue wrong, how can anything else they say be trusted?

Jesus took this risk and was crucified by the Romans. Although Jesus survived his crucifixion, at least for some days, his cross became a symbol of unconditional love for others and a commitment to the mission of spreading the gospel of God. Jesus said to his disciples, "This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends" (John 15:12-13).
Later, a man named Paul misinterpreted the meaning of Jesus' crucifixion. Paul believed that Jesus died on the cross as a sacrifice to pay a death penalty on behalf of humankind to save people from the "wrath" of God. Paul believed that Jesus was a divine and sinless being who sacrificed his life as a "substitute" to atone (make amends) for the sins of humankind, like a "ram without blemish" was sacrificed as a "guilt offering" to God in the Jewish temple, 2,000 years ago (Leviticus 6:6-7).
Today, the so-called "substitutionary theory of the atonement" is based on Paul's belief.
But Jesus saw himself only as a "man who has told you the truth which I heard from God" (John 8:40) and Jesus did not see his cross as a "substitute" for anyone. In fact, Jesus made it very clear that he expected his disciples to risk their own lives if they chose to follow him. Jesus said, "Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me, cannot be my disciple" (Luke 14:27).
Here, Jesus is clearly saying that a person must be prepared to pay whatever it costs to live by the commandments -- to love God and neighbor. The cost to Jesus was crucifixion. However, it is our willingness to bear our own cross (whatever it may be) that identifies each of us as a disciple of Jesus. The cross of Jesus serves as an example to be followed; it does not serve as a substitute to save us from anything.

Jesus didn't die to save us from anything?
Really?
And you're using this site a source?
Please rethink.

Well, just because Catholics are not a true church of God does not mean they don't teach truth on other topics such as the Trinity and that Jesus is God. So that does not mean the article is not teaching something that is not true. Granted, I will not willingly quote from a source I know to be false.
But call it a failing or flaw of mine. I have a bad habit of not always checking a website's statement of faith on folks websites. I am not perfect. I will try and do better next time. But thank you for point it out. However, I don't think the iist on the Parable of the Prodigal Son was invented out of thin air. If you read the text, the list follows it.

Okay. You gotta stop. I did not endorse this article. Many times when I quote sources I write that I do not agree with all truth taught by such said author. I did not check the statement of faith of the website. Really, such a thought was not on my mind at the time. Sorry about that. I will endeavor to do better next time when quoting sources.
