Featured N.T. Wright and Justification

My thoughts exactly.

 

I don’t know that it’s my upbringing—fine if that’s what it is—but to me it’s just common sense.

I would have never, on my own, come up with the ideas of Calvinism, by reading my KJB. I don’t think anyone would. Some man had to talk them into it, and am surprised some believe it.

I remember being shocked, years after my conversion, that such a belief as amillennialism existed. I had never heard of it. It wasn’t in my Bible, and it has all 66 books.

Then, more years later, I was shocked to find some people think we have been in the Thousand Year Reign for two thousand years and that satan is bound and not deceiving the nations for all that time. Scripture tells me these last days will be shortened, not lengthened. THEN I discovered Flat-Earthers and laughed because I honestly thought they joking. I equate those nutcases with those who think satan isn’t deceiving people today and that we are now starting the third Thousand Year Reign.

 

Sounds as if you were born to be a Dispie Free Willer...

 

Not mine.

Mine is in English.

 

No mention in post number 22 that justification means "being made righteous" when transferred into Christ's spiritual body by the washing of regeneration, the circumcision of Christ. Instead, the opposite is clearly proclaimed, no change is heart or character is meant by Paul's use of the word translated Justification.

In post number 23, a possible inference could be claimed, to belong to Christ implies someone has been put in Christ,but your claim seems false, no where did I see "Wright offered a definition that includes two aspects - a declaration and being placed in Christ.

 

Net another false claim.

First, your false claim was that righteousness is imputed, not imparted. When individuals undergo the washing of regeneration, the circumcision of Christ, righteous is imparted in that they are "made righteous."

Second, another false claim by you was that "sanctification is the process of making it [righteousness] experiential." The Greek word translated as "sanctification" refers to being set apart for a purpose or the mechanism used to make someone or something holy.

Romans 4:11 refers to believers having their faith credited to them as righteousness, not being made righteous.

The "it" in Romans 4:22 is "Abraham's faith." Ditto, the second "it" in Romans 4:23.

In Romans 4:24 we see that our faith will also be credited to us as righteousness, IF [God determines] we believe God raised Jesus from the dead.

Lastly James 2:23 again refers to Abraham's faith which was credited to Abraham as righteousness

Thus not one of your cited verses actually supports your false claims..

 

Yet another naysayer posting "Falseology" due to seeming animus rather than enlightenment.
