Who Justifieth the Ungodly

cough cough … says the one who manipulates Scripture in order to prop up a dogma never intended by the Author of Scripture.

it is written

According to Scripture, the Lord Jesus Christ died for the sins of the world and He is the propitiation for the sins of the whole world.

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 3:16-17 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. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

1 John 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

1 John 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.


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.

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

Your understanding is skewed by your dogma.

Just read what is written in Scripture and let God remove the erroneous dogma to which you so desperately cling.


Romans 4:

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

...

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

...

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

...

5:1 Therefore being justified by faith ...


Please note that these verses do not state that faith is imputed and then we believe. The verses clearly state that we believe and then God imputes righteousness.


We can even go back and read about Abraham and see when God imputed righteousness to him:

Genesis 15:

3 And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.

4 And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.

5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.

6 And he [Abraham] believed in the LORD; and he [God] counted it to him for righteousness.


Gen 15:6 does not state that righteousness was counted to Abraham before Abraham believed.

Gen 15:6 does not state that God justified Abraham and then Abraham believed.


READ YOUR BIBLE!!!

John 3:16-17 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. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

Justifieth Unbelievers !

Many in false organized religion, or even unorganized religion, people who claim to be Christian, but are not really, never believing the Gospel, many of them will say that God does not save unbelievers, but that is a bold face lie, where is the scripture that states that ? If that were true, then all men would be lost and without hope, because all men by nature are lost and imprisoned in unbelief Rom 11:32

32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.

All are by nature lost in the sphere of unbelief !

But yet Thanks be to God, that He does save / Justify unbelievers, ungodly people Rom 4:5

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

Now the object of Faith here is God who is justifying the UNGODLY, and as such, they are unbelievers, and God who Justifies them as such, as ungodly, then unbelievers, that is before faith antecedently to the act of believing, which act is an evidence of their already Justification in Christ, for He rose and was Justified on their account Rom 4:25

25 Who was delivered for[on account of] our offences, and was raised again for[on account of] our justification.

Simply meaning, if those on whose account He died for were not thereby Justified before God's Law and Justice before Him, then He would not have been risen from the dead ! And all believers that He died for are first unbelievers , so they were Justified while being unbelievers, the Resurrection proves it ! 10

So obviously you deny the justification[before God] of sinners Christ died for, prior to their believing, which can only mean you believe a sinner is Justified before God, not by the precious blood of Christ, but because of their act of believing. Isn't that correct ?

Sin is not the issue ? Then why did Christ die for sins, to put them away ? Heb 9:26

For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

Now since sin for them Christ died for, has been put away, how can they turn around and die in their sins ? Jn 8:24

I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.

Remember unbelief is a sin !

How can someone who Christ died, be condemned for any unrighteousness ? All sin is unrighteousness, unbelief, Idolatry, etc. So how can those in Rom 1:18 under the wrath of God, be anyone Christ died for, when according to His Covenant Death, they have forgiveness of sins by His Blood Matt 26:28 and God promises to forgive them of all unrighteusness Heb 8:12

For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

Supressing the truth as in Rom 1:18 is unrighteousness isnt it ? Also Hes merciful to their ungodliness Rom 11:26


And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer[Jesus], and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

Turn away means remove it !

So do you deny that the word world in scripture is used in many different ways other than the natural understanding of all without exception ?

Once again
Those Christ died for are Justified while ungodly, that cant be said about the whole ungodly world of men.

See how you avoid scripture teaching ?

Sinners Christ died for arent condemned while unbelievers, they are Justified/reconciled to God while enemies Rom 5:10
10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

Jn 3:36 can only apply to sinners Christ didnt die for, and so they die in theirs sins and unbelief Jn 8:24

We know all men without exception dont have Justification of life. So Rom 5:18 applies to all men without distinction, the Israel of God to whom Justification in Christ the Lord is promised to Isa 45:25

25 In the Lord shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.

Who is promises here to be Justified in the Lord ?

If a person wasnt already Justified before God, then Faith has no promise to rest in
