Relation with other theories
=== Relation with other theories ===
See a list of theological theories in <ref name=":0" />.
* Ransom - the relation is unclear
* Christus Victor - Victor Porton's theory is a special case of this theory
* Moral exemplar - Victor Porton's theory is similar to this but the "exemplar" being for heavenly being rather then people
* Satisfaction - the relation is unclear
* Penal substitution - the relation is unclear
* Governmental Theory - the relation is unclear
* Communal substitution - the relation is unclear, but in opinion of [[User:Victor Porton|Victor Porton]] this looks like contradictory to his theory
=== Related Bible verses ===
"... through death he might bring to nothing him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,  15 and might deliver all of them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage." (Heb. 2:14-15).
TODOThe power of death means that the beings subjected to fear of death were punished by the devil if they expressed altruism. Altruism was punished in the kingdom of the devil. The purpose of Christ's death was by resurrection to eliminate fear of death and so bring more heavenly beings to his side of the war. After Christ's resurrection the death is no more feared and the devil cannot rule anymore.
