Imputed Righteousness is False Doctrine

Thanks for that little bit of clarification.
A simple, “I am referring to the text of 2 Corinthians 5:21. I don’t know how you missed that” would have brought me up to speed much faster and been far more edifying.
Did he say he understands Christ was just when He sacrificed His life, that He was NOT "made to be a sinner" was just "treated as a sinner" and the "made to be a sinner" translation is in error? I had wished for more "edification" but no...

I don’t always agree with you, but there are times when I do. I have to say that giving you satisfaction is like trying to give a porcupine a hug. Don’t expect much.

Still no answer. This thread should discuss scripture, and not diversion into petty topics.

We were not NOT made the Righteousness of God by imputation. Everyone should agree with this, as that truth is plainly taught in scripture.

We become the righteousness of God in Him, so we must be spiritually transferred out of the realm of darkness into Christ in order to become the righteousness of God. That is not imputation, that is the washing of regeneration, also called the circumcision of Christ, also called taking what God has against us by nailing it to the cross.

So what is imputation as used in Scripture.
I think that you are splitting hairs over what amounts to no difference. By definitions, I don’t see any difference.
If you don’t like the letters arranged to make the word impute, don’t use them that way. But it is a biblical term. It can fit into your vocabulary if you will give it any opportunity.
I view this sort of argument you are making as equivalent to saying that Jesus was from Bethlehem and could not have been from out of Egypt or from Nazareth. We know He was all of those because they are not mutually exclusive.
If you could explain why washing and imputing are mutually exclusive, it would help me know where you are coming from.
