ICHABOD, THE GLORY HAS DEPARTED - explores the Age of Apostasy, predicted in 2 Thessalonians 2:3, to attack Objective Faithless Justification, Church Growth Clowns, and their ringmasters. The antidote to these poisons is trusting the efficacious Word in the Means of Grace. John 16:8. Isaiah 55:8ff. Romans 10. Most readers are WELS, LCMS, ELS, or ELCA. This blog also covers the Roman Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodoxy, and the Left-wing, National Council of Churches denominations.

Galatians Has a Lot To Say about Justification -
Has Anyone Read Luther's Commentary?
Buchholz? Buchholz? Anyone?
A. Berean has left a new comment on your post "Luther, Following Paul, Recognized Two Justificati...":
It is interesting to note that while Galatians 5:4 is cited frequently against Roman Catholics and other work-centered religions, the following verse is forgotten.
"Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith."
Again, as Paul stresses in all of his Epistles, there are only two types of justification: Justification by the Law (which is impossible) or Justification by Faith (Divine monergism).
A Happy Christmas to all of you!
