Question 14 Can there be found anywhere, one, who is a mere creature, able to satisfy for us?

Can there be found anywhere, one, who is a mere creature, able to satisfy for us?

None; for, first, God will not punish any other creature for the sin which man has committed; [41] and further, no mere creature can sustain the burden of God's eternal wrath against sin, so as to deliver others from it. [42]
