The Process Of Justification
Because the Truth is important to me. A more relevant question would be, why doesn't it matter to you? If someone presents a Biblical principle and it differs from yours, don't you think it's possible you are wrong? And if you are wrong on a point as important as whether justification is a... -
The Process Of Justification
Both can not be true at the same time, that's why it's a faulty translation. "For by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy." (NIV) The way the NIV translates makes no sense. Jesus has "made perfect forever" people who He is still making holy. Either perfection... -
The Process Of Justification
Well, against my doctrine anyway. You certainly have not addressed Heb. 11:3-7, which I have been harping on since the beginning of this thread, nor have you addressed Rom. 4:13, which applies to Gen. 12 and says "...through righteousness". Simply either copy and paste your exegesis of the... -
The Process Of Justification
My point is, there are no "trump verses". Proper exegesis doesn't work that way. -
The Process Of Justification
Really? Please read my previous post and then tell me that Hebrews 11 is about "commendable faith". "Heir of righteousness", Enoch being taken to Heaven and all that. BTW, what is your definition of "commendable faith" and where do you find this concept in Scripture? -
The Process Of Justification
So did Abraham's in Gen. 12. I was pretty busy this week and couldn't be as thorough in my posts as I wanted to be. I'll try and give as much detail as I can here. Paul says that Abraham was justified in Gen. 15:6. He talks about a point in time, he doesn't use the words "Genesis 15:6", he... -

The Process Of Justification
Of course not. You are not held accountable for what you don't know or what you don't (or can't) understand. However, if you are capable of understanding and choose to turn a blind eye, it might not damn you to eternal hellfire, but you will be lacking in knowledge of God and seeing the world... -
The Process Of Justification
It's both "are sanctified" and "are being sanctified", depending on context. You were fine with the KJV and the NASB (which you always use here), which both say "are sanctified" in the last three(?) posts. Now, when you have it pointed out to you that "are sanctified" refers to the afterlife... -
The Process Of Justification
You have made exactly one comment (that I remember) concerning Heb. 11 as a whole, and that was an attempt to refute my point that "the entire chapter is about justifying faith". In response, you posted v.3 which says: "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of... -
The Process Of Justification
Right past me? LOL...My reason for posting about James 2 went right past you. Do you really think I was introducing a discussion about James all of a sudden? The reason I posted this was because it could be looked upon as a "trump verse" on the nature of justification, and that you would find it... -
The Process Of Justification
Oh that's right. I had forgotten. We're equal to God, "equivocation" and all that. We went down this road already. You and I can not even talk about Abraham and how he was justified without first having an entire conversation about sin, the need for justification and the nature of Man. These... -

The Process Of Justification
What a coincidence, mine too. Although mine has much more to say on the subject of justification. -
The Process Of Justification
I do think that righteousness is infused into the person, that God actually makes a person just, not just looks at him as just. I would balk at a theology that has God creating some people for Heaven and some for Hell (if this is where you are going). I reject both Luther's "snow covered dung... -
The Process Of Justification
Do you mean that he was simply righteous by his own merits, born that way, and God just recognized it? -
The Process Of Justification
If you're asking me, the premise is, was Abraham justified twice. If he was, that means he needed to be, therefore we can lose justification. It's not a once for all deal. -
The Process Of Justification
Yeah, we do. I always wondered what games He was good at. I know they had them. Probably killed it at hide-and-go-seek. -
The Process Of Justification
:hysterical If only. Then we could go over and visit His Son. "Can Jesus come out and play?" -
The Process Of Justification
Do you mean are ignorant of facts, or are incapable of understanding the argument?
