Who Justifieth the Ungodly

There's a reason you refuse to include the context within which the verse sits.

Context = The context of an idea or event is the general situation that relates to it, and which helps it to be understood

If a statement or remark is quoted out of context, the circumstances in which it was said are not correctly reported, so that it seems to mean something different from the meaning that was intended

You are deceived !

False Christ didn't die for everyone. The ones that He did die for were Justified by His Blood.

Justification is conditioned on what Christ did. You condition Justification on what man does.

When a person is in a ungodly state he's an unbeliever, so the elect were justified before God while ungodly. That's what Rom 4:5 teaches.

There is no reason to skip over a truth found within any given context That is negligence.

Christ died for everyone. The Just died for the unjust that they might be saved.

1 Peter 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

More false statements. 1 Pet 3:18 is about the Elect !

justification before God is conditioned upon what God tells us.

it is written ...

Romans 3:22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference

...

Romans 4:

3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it [Abraham's faith] was counted unto him for righteousness.

...

23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it [righteousness] was imputed to him;

24 But for us also, to whom it [righteousness] shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead

...

Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ


you either believe or you don't believe what is written. do you (have faith to) believe Scripture?

.

nope ... Romans 4:5 teaches that the one who believes on Him Who justifies the ungodly do not work ... the One Who justifies establishes the criteria ... not you, not me.

Romans 4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.


Here is how Romans 4:5 appears your favorite version (Amplified):



Why do you continue to argue against Scripture? It is clear that faith is not works. What will happen to you, brightfame52, if you actually take God at His Word and believe what He tells you about faith (that faith is not works)???

.

interesting you make the statement that "[t]here is no reason to skip over a truth found within any given context" ... since that is exactly what you do when you rip a verse from its context.

so you agree you handle God's Word with "negligence" when you rip the verse from its context in order to manipulate Scripture?

By the Righteousness of One came Justification of Life !

Rom 5:18

18 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.

That the Obedience of Christ alone, His Righteousness here consist in both His Active and Passive Obedience, and for all whom He represented when He died, the sentence of Justification was passed, Justification of Life. It came upon them, apart from their faith, their repentance, or anything they did.

The word Justification is the greek word dikaiósis:


acquittal, justifying, justification, a process of absolution.

Absolution means:

a freeing from blame or guilt; release from consequences, obligations, or penalties.

Just as by adam's one act or offence, it resulted in condemnation of all men he represented, that was apart from their own act of disobedience personally, so it is with Christ's One act of Righteousness results in Justification of Life for all He represented apart from their own acts of obedience.

This scripture teaches Justification for all whom Christ died before their obedience of Faith.6

Again Justification is conditioned on what Christ did. You condition Justification on what man does.

Yes, when a person is ungodly, they are not a believer, they are an enemy, an unbeliever.

Right, its careless to skip over what a verse says in any given context.

Romans 4:23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it [righteousness] was imputed to him;

24 But for us also, to whom it [righteousness] shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead

25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.

Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ


Peter speaking to the multitudes at the temple after the Lord Jesus Christ ascended into heaven:

Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord




John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.


John 3:

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.


Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him [God]: for he that cometh to God must believe that he [God] is, and that he [God] is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

.

Romans 4:5 teaches that the one who believes on Him Who justifies the ungodly do not work ... the One Who justifies establishes the criteria ... not you, not me.

Romans 4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.


Here is how Romans 4:5 appears your favorite version (Amplified):



Why do you continue to argue against Scripture? It is clear that faith is not works. What will happen to you, brightfame52, if you actually take God at His Word and believe what He tells you about faith (that faith is not works)???

so you're not only negligent ... you're also "careless"?
