I am not overstating it when I say that the man who caused all the trouble hurt all of you more than he hurt me. Most of you opposed him, and that was punishment enough. Now, however, it is time to forgive and comfort him. Otherwise he may be overcome by discouragement. So I urge you now to reaffirm your love for him. 2 Corinthians 2:5-8

Skip the link was very informative thanks.
Interesting that atonement starts exactly how Jesus taught… Forgive each other first before we can expect God to forgive us.
Why 39 lashes? What is in this number?
The immersion sounds a lot like the baptism followed by around 80% of Christian groups….
So where does the atonement best fit in with the baptism practiced by John and Jesus….
