Strawman argument.Some her to see it as if we are all commended to death, but once we ask the Judge to forgive us, he can just pardon us period, but the truth is someone still has to serve and fulfill that death penalty, same way Jesus died in our place and our stead
It can be a judicial term. But it can also be a covenantal term (being right with a covenant).the biblical term literally means found in right standing, or found innocent.
It is a judicial term.
We were justified by the redemption found in Christ Jesus..
I will be honest with you bro. I have never heard this in all my years at any church I have went to. and there have been many (I am retired military) Nor can I think of any place in scripture that would have it in this context.It can be a judicial term. But it can also be a covenantal term (being right with a covenant).
The old tells us what must be done for forgiveness.In the Old Testament a lot of the cries for justice are presented on a civil rather than judicial context. That is why you read so much of the Hebrews begging for God's judgment. They belueve they are right with the covenant and are seeking the results of this justification.
this in my view would be a mistake.Personally, I view justification (righteousness) in a covenant sence rather than a judicial sence.
You cannot remove the judicial aspect from God who is the Just Judge.It can be a judicial term. But it can also be a covenantal term (being right with a covenant).
