Things New and Old: The Doctrine of Imputation Mocked and Repudiated

Things New and Old

Ancient truths revealed in the Scriptures are often forgotten, disbelieved or distorted, and therefore lost in the passage of time. Such ancient truths when rediscovered and relearned are 'new' additions to the treasury of ancient truths.

Christ showed many new things to the disciples, things prophesied by the prophets of old but hijacked and perverted by the elders and their traditions, but which Christ reclaimed and returned to His people.

Many things taught by the Apostles of Christ have been perverted or substituted over the centuries. Such fundamental doctrines like salvation by grace and justification have been hijacked and perverted and repudiated by sincere Christians. These doctrines need to be reclaimed and restored to God's people.

There are things both new and old here. "Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things" 2Ti 2:7.

The Doctrine of Imputation Mocked and Repudiated

Below was written to someone who repudiates
the doctrine of imputation.
(with the quote from NTWright to support it.)

#imputation_mocked_repudiated

Romans 5:18 KJV — Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.

HOW, by the offence of one, judgment came [simple past tense] upon all men to condemnation? When did this happen?
(The sin of Adam was IMPUTED to all represented by him, resulting in their condemnation of death. This took place during the fall.)

HOW, by the righteousness of one, the free gift came [simple past tense] upon all men unto justification of life? When did this happen?
(The righteousness of Christ was IMPUTED to all represented by Him, resulting in their justification of life. This took place when Christ died on the cross.)

By what same law/principle did the above HAPPEN?
(By the laws of representation and imputation.)

Tell me what is the word that conveys/expresses this principle.

The NPP's usage of a human court to mock and repudiate the gospel truth of the imputation of righteousness is a FATAL flaw.

In an earthly human court,
The judge and the advocate for the defendant cannot be related. Otherwise, the judge must recuse himself to avoid any conflict of interest.

In the heavenly divine court,
The Judge of and the Advocate for the condemned are related as Father and Son; the Advocate being appointed by the Judge himself, for the condemned. The Advocate is also the Redeemer of the defendants.

The NPP has lost its plot; it's Empty Wrong.

Thanks.

Be careful...
Without sound doctrines, there is no gospel.
Fuzzy Churchianity is loved, but
Apostolic Christianity is loathed.
Are you righteous before God?
How did you become righteous before God?
What did you, in your native unjustified state, do to become righteous before God?

Ask your questions.
